Watch

If you can let your neighborhood folks / business’s know that SERIAL NUMBERS ARE CRITICAL IF THEY EVER WANT TO SEE THEIR POSSESSIONS AGAIN, in case they are stolen.  Otherwise they are almost literally impossible to track.  If you can take just a minute or 2 to log the serial numbers that could pay off in the future for you.  Most of my successful recoveries are due to serial numbers or photos of unique objects like jewelry etc.

AVOIDING SCAM AND FRAUD ATTEMPTS

  1. Never give out personal financial information. Beware of phony business calls and emails.
  2. Stop international fraud. Deal locally whenever possible.
  3. Watch for buyers who offer more than your asking price and who ask to have money wired or handed to them. Fake cashier checks and money orders are common.
  4. Trust your instincts. Be wary of someone using an escrow service or agent to pick up merchandise or conduct other transactions you have advertised.
