On Guamlist we try to keep buying and selling process as safe as possible. Please read the following rules that help you to avoid scammers:
- Deal locally, face-to-face - follow this one rule and avoid 99% of scam attempts.
- Do not provide payment to anyone you have not met in person.
- Beware offers involving shipping - deal with locals you can meet in person.
- Never wire funds (e.g. Western Union) - anyone who asks you to is a scammer.
- Don't accept cashier/certified checks or money orders - banks cash fakes, then hold you responsible.
- Transactions are between users only, no third party provides a "guarantee".
- Never give out financial info (bank account, social security, paypal account, etc).
- Never accept PayPal transfer before meeting a person face-to-face.
- Do not rent or purchase sight-unseen - that amazing "deal" may not exist.
- Refuse background/credit checks until you have met landlord/employer in person.
