We suggest the following common sense guidelines to help you avoid potential scammers:
- NEVER wire money to a buyer or seller through services like Western Union or MoneyGram: those asking you to do so are scammers.
- NEVER accept a "check" for more than the value of your car. The scammers will ask that you send back the difference and then the check you received will be determined to be a fake and you will be held responsible by the bank that cashed it.
- SellMyCar.com does NOT get involved in any transactions: we don't handle payments, provide guarantees or certifications, delivery or serve as any kind of escrow agent.
- Don't buy a vehicle sight-unseen. If the price seems too good to be true, it is.
DELETE all emails or other inquiries that request or offer any of the following:
- asks for your personal or financial information for any reason
- represents sender as a warehousing or shipping service
- requests partial payment up front, with a promise to ship
- recommends a particular escrow service to use.
