There has been a lot of talk about this site. Many of us dealers need to be "aware" of scams buyers can pull. Vis a versa. Interested in the open discourse on this subject.

Rule number 1.

1. Never click on a link you receive in an e-mail. Go direct using your usual method. (usual a link on your browser or typing in the URL in address bar)

2. Ebay, Paypal, Nochex, Banks, etc will always address you by your names like Dear Homer Simpson and not Hi there! or Dear Customer or Dear User or Dear subscriber (this is always a give away)

3. Most credited sites nowadays have encruption on their sites when logging in or entering sensitive information. So always check for that PADLOCK!

Follow these very simple rules and use some of your own home grown common sense and don't get caught out.

I have some more advise about answering the phone and the front door but that's for another thread and another day!

Papal in insecure. i lost $1000 because they accepted a fake account. The chargeback took more than 3 months to catch. Very poor service for a company who only processes money.

Paypal *****, always use westernunion

_CaS_ · 01-01-2005, 14:28

i hate paypal ...

fuzionGSM · 01-01-2005, 20:54

western union has many scams as well

digitalrise007 · 01-03-2005, 16:17

The main thing about Paypal is that the seller can get screwed big tyme. With Western Union the customer doesn't get as much security and it costs them more because of the service charge. Of course we all love Western Union but Paypal has been used by "buyers" to scam on a lot of sellers (me for $400).

As @Number_3 put it, very poor service for a financial institution.

fuzionGSM · 01-04-2005, 02:07

only reason why i dun like western union is the large fee you gotta pay to transfer money

leosedf · 01-04-2005, 08:57

I use moneybookers whithout problems www.moneybookers.com

We have moved trough paypal around $100.000 last year - and got fuked only for ~200 usd. So it's ok. I love paypal.
But, nothing can beat WU, only problem is, beggers don's like it, because of fee, ehehehe
