Protect Youself from Popular Online Classified Scams

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 15:03:00 +0000

With the internet becoming ever more popular each and every day, many internet users have been exposed or subjected to popular online scams that fraudulent parties use to rip-off and steal from everyday internet participants. Unfortunately, one area of the internet where scamming is especially prevalent is in the arena of online classifieds. Since most online classified communities are free, and consequently open to the public, scammers inevitably try to pose as legitimate classified listings in an effort to lure their next victim.

Online classified communities count on the action of users to help regulate suspicious listings. By becoming aware of the types of suspicious activity that scammers use in online classified marketplaces, users can help to create a more utopian online marketplace experience for all internet users.

Obviously, popular scams in the world of online classified advertising usually looks to steal something of value from an online user. This could include monies in the form of wired amounts or deposits paid or personal information in the form of banking or identity information. In the world of online scammers, no classified category is off-limits. Automotive listings are just as likely to potentially contain a scammer's listing as are listings for financial services. In order to protect yourself online, it is critical to educate yourself about popular scams so that you can be proactive about flagging listings that you come across that may look suspicious or risky for yourself or other classified users.

The Site Unseen Sale at Lower Price

For obvious reasons, one of the more popular forms of online classified scams involves the offer of a rare, popular or valuable product at a significantly reduced price. This could include a car for sale at drastically reduced prices, rare and exotic pets for low cost or other products that seem too good to be true.

With a scam of this nature, an online scammer offers something of value at a lower price but when interest is shown the scammer simply requests a "down payment" or deposit on the item. In many cases the product does not even exist and the entire scam centers around the interested party's willingness to simply put "money-down" for the prized item or product for sale.

This scam is especially popular with cars and other high-end items that could legitimately carry a higher ticket price and consequently warrant a deposit for the purchase of the item.

In order to protect yourself from this type of activity, it is important to make personal contact with the seller and determine the level of trustworthiness of the individual. However, more importantly, it is critical that used items being purchased on classified websites are seen in person and inspected before any purchase is ever made. At A Classified Marketplace, we exist for local transactions between reputable sellers. We expect that local online commerce is most efficient when the conversation carries off the page and into real life. With respect to this, it is always important to protect your personal safety when dealing with online classified. For more information on this topic, please click here.

Buy it Quick Scam

In the buy it quick scam, scammers will try to get you to act fast on the sale of a popular product. The scammer will create a sense of urgency and will put pressure on you as the buyer to take advantage of this great opportunity right away. The only problem is that often times there is no product or the product may be damaged. This is especially true with listings from another country that are quick and persistent to follow-up with you on the sale of their classified goods.

The most obvious way to extinguish the risk associated with the "Buy it Quick" scam is to see the product in person. Seeing the item for sale in person allows you to judge for yourself the quality of what is offered which will allow you to make an educated offer for the product on your schedule, not on the basis of a rushed purchase through online channels only.

Foreign Electronic Scams

Another popular online scam is the posting of used or new electronics by sellers in foreign countries. Often times, the scammer will only have contact mediums available through online chat or email and will be selling a variety of electronic items without the use of a company website.

With this online scam, buyers must be cautious about where the seller is located and must protect themselves by refusing to deposit or wire monies to "hold" or "reserve" the item. In most cases with this scam, people are stolen from when scammers receive the money and simply do not send the items. This is usually followed by the chat or email addresses being shutdown so that no trace of the scammer can be detected for the regular internet user.

Like most other scams, this one can be resolved by simply dealing locally online with legitimate sellers who are willing to meet to let you see items before you purchase. It is critical to be extremely cautious with any sellers located overseas who promise electronics at steeply discounted prices. Be aware and deal in person locally for your electronics needs.

The Seller Excuse

One of the more popular scamming setups when dealing with public classified listings involves the use of seller excuses to get an item sold quickly. Often times they will make a claim that involves something of critical importance like the health of a loved one or the fact that they just moved locations.

With the seller excuse scam, the scammers intention is simply to get you to purchase and pay for the item in question through the creation of trust. Once the buyer's trust has been gained, the scammer can then try to receive a deposit or payment for an item without any expectation of sending or delivering on the product end.

As a classified market participant it is important to stay vigilant with respect to your online trust. If you do not know someone, it should be obvious to be cautious about proceeding with the purchase of anything sight-unseen. To resolve issues related to seller's excuses, simply deal locally and in person when purchasing from online classified resources.

Fake Protection Programs

A popular scam that has been around in online classified communities for some time is the use of fake protection programs advertised and attached to classified listings. This scam usually uses the power and reputation of the classified website to trick users into thinking that deposits or payments made to the seller is protected by the classified website.

Fake protection programs are extremely dangerous for regular online users as scammers will go to great lengths to make it seem that large companies support payment plans or protection for deposits made to sellers. Unfortunately, with online classifieds this is simply not the case. Since online classifieds serve to match interested buyers and sellers, classified websites are not involved in any capacity with the payment end of the transactions.

In order to protect against fake protection programs offered by scammers in their classified listings, classified users must be vigilant in watching out for red flags attributed to these fake programs. First, users should be cautious if a classified listing includes branding and corporate logos from other well respected companies that are used as a means to insure payments. Next, any listing that offers a payment plan or insurance for deposits should be suspicious to any classified user. If something looks too good to be true on an online classified marketplace, it usually is, so proceed accordingly.

Fake Job Listings

The next scam that unsavory characters use within online classified marketplaces involves fake job listings online. This scam looks to take advantage of people who are in need of employment by creating fake job listings. Most often these fake job listings are for a get-rich-quick type scheme that advertises "work from home" or other similar job postings.

Once a user expresses interest in the job listing, the scammer will then either farm for personal data such as Identity information and banking information or will look to get users involved in a pyramid scheme that can cause users to be exposed to financial or identity loss.

In order to avoid fake job listings, be wary of any postings that offer high income with little or no work. Additionally, be aware of any job listings that offer work for home or that allow only telecommuting. When searching for legitimate job postings look for local businesses that have a representative that you can either meet before you are hired or who can produce concrete proof of the employment position.

Critical components to watch out for to avoid a scammer

Often times, there are red flags in classified postings that can help users identify suspicious and dangerous postings. Many of these red flags are easily identifiable and when recognized users should do everything to quickly stop all communication with the person who created the listing. Some of these red flags include:

Listings from foreign sources
Listings with bad grammar or use of the English language
Listings that include generic pictures of products offered
Listings that make up excuses or refuse to talk on the phone or meet in person
Listings that pressure you into rushing the process of a purchase
Listings that always have an excuse about why they cannot provide you with more information about their listing
Listings that require a deposit or payment plans to complete transactions
Listings that offer very little information about the product or service for sale

With the increase in the popularity of free online classified markets, it is now more important than ever to be vigilant in protecting yourself when dealing with strangers in public classified marketplaces. As you browse local classified ads, be aware of what is being offered and always protect yourself against any possible intrusion into your personal or financial privacy.

With online classified marketplaces, the responsibility for staying safe falls directly on the shoulders of the user. Since it is up to the user to initiate contact with any online classified listing, it is critical that users remain committed to protecting all aspect of personal and financial safety.

As a general rule of thumb, use common sense when dealing with strangers in online classified communities. If something seems too good to be true, most times it likely will be a listing that users will want to ignore or walk away from all together. Be smart with your financial and personal information and use online classifieds safely through the power of local commerce, meeting and dealing with people in a local capacity for the products and services that fit your needs.

Safety Precautions with Online Classifieds

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:30:00 +0000

At A Classified Marketplace, we are constantly striving to create the most comprehensive and safe online community possible for our wide variety of visitors and users alike. One of the most important considerations to keep in mind when dealing with any online classified marketplace deals specifically with staying safe when dealing with local commerce initiated through the use of online classifieds. Staying safe when dealing with online commerce involves multi-faceted variables that must be addressed in order to promote your personal safety.

First, and most importantly, it is critical to always hold personal safety in the highest regard when dealing with strangers online. This includes meeting people in person and in public locations to minimize any risk of dealing with people you do not know personally. Second, it is necessary to think and act safely with respect to payment methods for any commerce transacted between parties that you do not know.

Most individuals who use A Classified Marketplace experience success with buying, selling, browsing and promoting on our online marketplace. However, as a part of our commitment to provide our users with the most personalized service available for online commerce, we have created this document to outline some of the guidelines that the general public should follow when dealing with strangers in online commerce situations in order to ensure personal and financial safety.

Ensuring your Personal Safety

The most important component when dealing with online commerce is to ensure personal safety when dealing with face-to-face transactions. For local commerce, most times it is imperative to meet with people to either inspect or pick-up the item for sale. In almost all cases, the person on the other end of the transaction is likely to be someone who you have not met previously. Due to this, it is imperative to protect yourself in all aspects of the local meeting.

Meet Publicly - When setting up meeting locations be sure to choose areas that are public in nature. Schedule meetings with people on the other side of the transaction in locales where there are numerous individuals around in order to ensure your safety.
Go with a Friend - Whether or not the transaction requires that you meet in a location that is public or private, it is always a good rule of thumb to bring a friend along for any initial meet and greet for any online commerce. Bringing another person to the meeting insures that your personal safety is protected beyond going alone.
Protect your Personal Information - Be vigilant in protecting your personal information. This includes restricting communication between you and interested parties to platforms that do not provide any personal information to be disclosed about you. Specifically, be wary of any party that inquires about your personal location or address and if possible communicate with interested parties through an email system that is not your personal account.
Use Common Sense - Most importantly, use common sense when dealing with local classified advertisements. If something seems off or questionable about a transaction conducted via online commerce the best course of action is usually to stop communication with the other party and look for another listing to fulfill your needs.

Ensuring your Financial and Identity Safety

Ranking a close second on our list of considerations for ensuring your safety with online commerce is the issue of protecting personal financial and identity information when dealing with unknown parties in the course of online commerce. Commerce resulting from online classified listings will inevitably involve the exchange or transfer of funds to complete transactions initiated by the online listing. As a result, it is critical that any payment information or personal financial information is carefully guarded in order to avoid any type of financial or identity theft.

Use Cash to Complete Transactions - If possible, use cash to complete any transactions in dealing with strangers involved with the classified posting. Paying with cash is the best way to work with local classifieds in order to keep transactions safe and simple.
Never Send or Wire Money - Under no circumstances should you send or wire monies to parties involved with the listing. A Classified Marketplace is all about local transactions. If a party forces you to "hurry-up" because of a limited time offer and demands payment ahead of receiving any promised products this is usually a scam. Be aware of listings of this nature.
Never give out Personal or Banking Information - Under no circumstances should you be required to give out your personal information, including your social security number, bank account, routing number or other similar information in order to complete online transactions. Be wary of any individual who asks for this information in the course of online classified commerce.
Inspect the Items you are Interested in - If you are purchasing an item, whether used or new, be sure to inspect the item closely before you complete the transaction. Buying anything over the internet site unseen is a recipe for a financial rip-off. Be aware and look closely at the condition of the item to make sure you are getting what you expect out of the transaction.
Ask In-depth Questions - Asking the right questions about the items you are interested in is critical to ensuring that you receive the type of product that you are interested in purchasing online. Make sure that you receive the type of answers you are looking for when dealing with anyone new in online commerce.
Be Descriptive - As a seller, be descriptive as possible with your listings in order to give possible buyers an accurate description of what they are purchasing. This not only brings additional interest to your listings but can also help you close a deal on an item offered as the interested parties can be encouraged by the descriptiveness of the listing.
Don't fall for Fake Programs - Be wary of any services that offer to "Hold Payments" or provide escrow services for online transactions. A Classified Marketplace, like most major online classifieds, does not offer any type of protection program or payment plans for transactions conducted online. A Classified Marketplace does not facilitate payment options of any kind for transactions between two parties interested in listings on our website. Please be aware when dealing with online parties that offer or promote these types of services for your payment.
For High Dollar Purchases Use Cashier’s Checks - If you are purchasing an item that carries a high dollar value, you may be more comfortable using cashier's checks in order to limit the risk of carrying larger amounts of cash to local meetings. Be sure to ask for a signed receipt on the cashier's check in order to protect yourself fully.

At A Classified Marketplace we value the safety of our online user's above all else. Please be aware when dealing with any type of online commerce whatsoever.

If you have questions about our guidelines for staying safe on A Classified Marketplace, please feel free to contact us today and a representative would be happy to help you understand how to better insure your online safety with local classified transactions. Above all else, be sure to use common sense in dealing with classified listings. If something seems off, be sure to proceed with extreme caution.

Tips & Tricks for more Effective Online Classifieds

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 19:43:00 +0000

Make your Title Headline Grab the Attention of Viewers

When crafting your classified advertisement title, be sure to be descriptive with keywords that specifically relate to your ad and which provide better search results for interested parties.

Use popular search engines to do quick research on the item you are selling or promoting and write a descriptive headline that is short enough to keep people interested in your ad at a quick glance using keywords and phrases that accurately describe your promotion.

Use titles as a lead-in to get people to read further about what you have to offer. In accordance with this practice, make sure your title does not get too lengthy and off topic; stay on focus with what you have to offer to interested parties.

Highlight some of the important variables that will be of immediate interest to interested individuals. Some of the variables that you will want to focus on include: Color, Size, Price, Condition, Location and much more.

Here’s one example of an effective and attention grabbing headline:

Pristine Red Ferrari - 1975 - $25,000 OBO

Expand on your Title with an Accurate, Specific Description

Share the details of your specific listing within the description field for your classified ad. In the description field, outline the specifics of your listing in more detail by using text to paint an accurate picture of the item or promotion that you are creating online.

Be sure to include all the variables that would be of value for potential visitors to your classified posting. Describe the condition of your item in more depth or provide links to examples online so that your visitor can learn more about what you are offering and promoting.

On A Classified Marketplace, be sure to use HTML with the ad description area to provide visitors with links to your product, business or organization. Additionally, if at all possible add photos to the description area of the listing with HTML to give visitors to your online classified a more complete picture of what you have to offer to the local community.

Provide Accurate Location Information for any Applicable Listing

Are you promoting a local service or business with your listing? How can customers find you?

Be sure to include accurate location information for any classified listing that promotes a brick and mortar establishment.

Here at A Classified Marketplace, we have made inputting and mapping location variables within your classified listing a simple process. Simply input your location variables within the specific fields in the ad creation process and elect to map the location in your classified listing.

In this manner, businesses can pinpoint their specific locations for interested visitors to their classified listing, thus providing more efficient promotions for store promotions, new product sales and much more!

Include Photos with your Listing

With the plethora of classified listings available online today, you want to give your listing every opportunity possible to stand out from the crowd. One way to do this is to use images of your product, business, or promotion to provide give visitors a feel for what our ad is about and why they should click on it to learn more.

However, not all pictures are created equal. Be sure that the pictures that you elect to promote your listing are of a good quality and are large enough to provide your visitors with the ability to easily view your item with ease on their computer or mobile phone screen.

At A Classified Marketplace, you are invited to post up to 5 images with every free ad! Choose photos that will help to promote your listing online!

Be sure to Include Accurate Contact Details with your Listing

If a visitor can’t get in touch with you, what’s the point of posting a classified advertisement online?

Be sure to double-check variables such as your email address, phone number & website address in your classified ads.

Did you remember to include your area code? Is your email address spelled correctly? Did you test the link that you posted to your website to make sure it directs visitors to the correct location that you intended?

Once your have a visitor interested, be sure that your contact details provide for quick and easy methods of communication with you.

Attach Coupons for Current Promotions

Are you currently offering a special promotion?

Remember that online classified visitors are looking for a deal!

Be realistic and reasonable with your pricing to encourage visitors to contact you about your product, service or organization. Have you set a price that makes sense in the current economy? Are you inline with other quotes that you have seen for your item on other outline outlets?

Marketplace Improvements Save you Time!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:57:00 +0000

Do you need to save time with the creation of your online advertising?

Recently, AClassifiedMarketplace.com undertook a major restructuring of our online marketplace and the process by which our users create classified ads within our online system.

During the last few months, our users have provided us with the feedback that our original listing creation process was too long and time consuming to be truly effective. In our original configuration, our process to create a classified ad involved selecting a category from an extensive list that contained all of our classified subcategories.

As a result, users were forced to scroll through extensive categories that had no relevance to their actual listing topic.

In response to this, we recently revamped our online ad creation process to be more user-friendly and easier to use through the use of multiple dropdown menus to allow for easier, more targeted categorization of classified listings.

With recent improvements complete, users can now easily select which topic best fits their classified ad from 5 simple choices of:

For Sale Classifieds
Community Classifieds
Service Classifieds
Personals
Employment Classifieds

Once the most general category is selected, users can now easily choose a secondary subcategory to post in within one of these five "top-level" categories.

With this process improved, users can now easily create their listings in a snap by quickly and easily finding the best fit category for maximum online exposure.

Have you tried our new posting process at AClassifiedMarketplace.com?

Stop by the market today and start creating your free classifieds, personals and more with ease!

If you have any questions about the listing process at AClassifiedMarketplace.com, or if you have feedback which could make our community marketplace more efficient, please contact us today!
