If you are able and so choose deal with individuals in
your area. It may be safer to meet the “Seller”
and inspect the merchandise.
Use a payment method that will minimize the chance of
fraud and offer the most protection. It is best not to send
any payment through wire transfer i.e. Western Union, Money
Gram etc.
Many fraudulent scams include asking for a cashier’s
check or money order. If you need to use a money order use
a postal money order which can be investigated.
Credit card is the safest if you are able to use that
means of transaction.
Using services such as Pay Pal.com, Escrow.com, or C.O.D.
can offer you beneficial protection.
The “Want Outlet” will never ask you for your
password or financial information by e-mail.
The “Want Outlet” is not involved in the financial
transaction between the “Wanter and Seller”.
We can not guarantee payments between parties.
