Fraud Protection

Watch out for these common scamming practices:

• Avoid wire funds via Western Union, Moneygram, or any other wire service - many scammers use wire services.
• Be careful when using cashiers checks and money orders. Banks will hold you responsible for fake cashier checks and money orders.
• TheFOAT.com does not handle payments, guarantee transactions, provide escrow services, or offer buyer insurance.
• Do not give out financial information such as, but not limited to, your bank account number and social security number.
• Avoid deals involving shipping or escrow services. Many scammers use these ploys to commit fraud.
