Legitimate sales happen every day on the BigRigNetwork.com web site as well as other Classified Ad sites. Unfortunately
there are SCAM artists that travel all the sites hoping
to find an unsuspecting seller or buyer. By using good common
sense, most of the scammers are easy to spot. Read below
for some tips and if you have any questions feel free to
contact us
Sellers Beware: No legitimate company will offer to pay
you by arranging to send you a check and asking you to wire
some of the money back. If you receive this offer, it is
a scam! Read all about Internet SCAMs below.
Buyers Beware: Scammers have begun advertising vehicles
on many web sites with an asking price that is to good to
be true.
PLEASE be very cautious with ads which:
1. Come from overseas.
2. Have an asking price that seems too good to be true.
3. Request a deposit be sent immediately.
4. Express a sense of urgency in making the transaction.
If you find an ad of this type please email us immediately
to: Fraud Alert . * A true buyer is not going to send
you a check or wire for more money than the agreed selling
price, does that even sound right to you? BEWARE: IF SOMETHING
IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT USUALLLY IS.
