Beware of scammers! Really!

440network : Beware of scammers! Really! - macmusicTwo of our members have again been scammed thru our classified system. Please, be cautious, especially when looking for expensive stuff there. We do our best to keep these guys out, we deletes classified we know or think are scams or illegal but we cannot avoid some to be still around.

- Don't believe into "to good to be true" classifieds, they are usually not true.
- Trace the real origin of the contact, if he's in Kamtchatka when he's supposed to be in London, be sure it's for a reason: your money. If you have a doubt, ask me (lepetitmartien) I'll trace him for you.
- Never use Western Union, money transfers, you have NO protection whatsoever using these. For Paypal you have only warranties within certain limits.
- Never accept checks for an amount larger than the price to be "of service". it's a known scam.
- Use a money escrow service, especially for large sums. If your seller/buyer doesn't want to, stop it there!
- Never give your bank accounts or credit card details.
- Ask details about the object, photos…

And last and important:

MacMusic.org assure this classified service as is, we don't warrant anything in the classifieds or the following transactions. MacMusic.Org has no Warranty service. so to make things clear:
- There is no "MacMusic Insurance Center"
- There is no "MacMusic Insurance Center team"
- There is no "MacMusic managed purchase protection account"
- There is no "MacMusic SquareTrade center"
etc.

Any mail or PM referring to such sort of service is a scam using our name to steal you!

MacMusic.Org only provides the ability to members to use classifieds, nothing else. And I you suspect a classified to be a scam, let Babaille, who manages the classified by himself, know!
