Get Street Smart about Counterfeit Check Scams
 |
Never accept a check or money order for an amount greater than your sale price and never agree to wire money back to someone who’s overpaid. That request is a sure sign of a scam. In fact, avoid wiring money in general when you're dealing with strangers; it offers no way to stop payment or recover your lost funds if you're the victim of a scam. |

Never accept a check or money order from a third party as payment. Some cons may suggest that you accept a check from a friend who owes them money. Others using the Work-at-Home angle may offer to pay you with checks from customers or partners. |
