Recognizing scams

Most scams involve one or more of the following:

– inquiry from someone far away, often in another country
– Western Union, Money Gram, cashier’s check, money order, shipping, escrow service, or a “guarantee”
– inability or refusal to meet face-to-face before consumating transaction

The overwhelming majority of users are trustworthy and well-intentioned.

Nevertheless, it’s very important to take the same common sense precautions online as you would offline.

When meeting someone for the first time, please remember to:

– Insist on a public meeting place like a cafe
– Tell a friend or family member where you’re going
– Take your cell phone along if you have one
– Consider having a friend accompany you
– Trust your instincts
