AVOIDING SCAMS AND FRAUD on 808Classifieds.com 

You can sidestep would-be scammers by following these common-sense rules:

• DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS THAT ARE HERE IN THE ISLANDS, OR THAT YOU CAN MEET PERSONALLY - follow this one simple rule and you will avoid almost all  of the scam attempts on 808classifieds
• NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.
• FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.
• 808CLASSIFIEDS IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TRANSACTION, and does not handle payments, guarantee transactions, provide escrow services, or offer "buyer protection" or "seller certification"
• NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
• AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.
