Wiccimaw Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Hey all! Relatively new user here (under a year now) and I'm looking to start selling some transferables on here. After going through a couple of fraud alert and scammer alert pages on the market boards, I can see that there are plenty of scum bags out there trying to scam people. So, my question is simple. Is there any clever way that these people have come up with as far as scams go? Are wires/MOs the most secure methods for receiving payments from potential buyers? Should I avoid payment methods like CC/Zelle/PayPal due to potential charge backs once a product is approved and shipped out? Any advice will help. Thanks, Wiccimaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank I Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Bank check...and wait until it clears before shipping. Zelle and wire transfers are scammer favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy H Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 while I didn’t do any large NFA sales …. I did accept Major Bank Checks ( Capital One .. Wells Fargo .. Chase .. Bank of America ..etc ) …. I would go to the bank the check came from …. and ask to cash THEIR check … you do not need to be that banks customer…. They will verify the check is Good …. And cash the check right there at the tellers window …. . accept major bank check …go to bank check is drawn on … bank verifies …. Teller cashes check …. You walk out with Cash this Only works IF the buyers bank has a branch within driving distance to you ….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
