Scam Defence
When advertising online, both sellers and buyers need to be aware that there are scammers posing as buyers and sellers that you may come into contact with.
- The item is priced well below the market value
- The phone number supplied is incorrect
- The seller requests a deposit on the item
- The seller won’t allow you to inspect or pick up the item
- The seller won’t speak to you over the phone
Check that the registration number for floats, trucks and other vehicles are registered under the name of the individual you are liaising with.
You can check online using the links below
Buyers also need to be aware that even though the team at Horsezone is diligent with monitoring the authenticity of listings, occasionally a listing will slip under our radar. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
If you notice a suspect listing contact us at support@horsezone.com.au
- Always speak to sellers over the phone and arrange a time to view the item in person
- Do not put a deposit on an item you haven’t seen
- Do not transfer money until you have inspected the item, or have organised a reputable third party to do so, and are confident that the transaction is legitimate
- Scam sellers often change their names and emails. A current scam seller to look out for is Sophia Harrison with email nellotiout@hotmail.com
- They send you an SMS to contact them via their personal email address (phone number is often an international number)
- They send through an enquiry to contact them via their personal email address
- They immediately state that they wish to purchase the item without asking any questions
- Their spelling and grammar is often not good and they include a long elaborate story as to why they are purchasing the item
- They insist on using Pay Pal as a method of payment
- They may send through a fake email from a Pay Pal address stating that the money has been transferred. Check whether the transaction was legitimate by clicking here
- They request you to transfer money to pay their “shipping agent”
- They offer to pay you extra to remove the listing from the site
- Always talk to people in person or over the phone at the very least
- Beware of cheques as it may take several weeks for your bank to notify you that you that a cheque is fraudulent
