Common Scams

Here are some common scams to be aware of while using Gillslist.com:

Payment Scams

Payment scams involve a buyer sending a fraudulent payment, such as a fake check, for more than the purchase price of an item. The buyer then requests that the seller send the excess funds back to them via wire transfer or another method. The original payment is fraudulent, and the seller loses both the item and the funds they sent to the scammer.

To avoid payment scams, always wait for payment to clear before sending the item or providing the service. Be cautious of buyers who offer to pay more than the listed price or who pressure you to send money back to them.

Shipping Scams

Shipping scams involve a buyer asking the seller to ship an item to them before payment is received. Once the seller ships the item, the buyer disappears without paying.

To avoid shipping scams, always wait for payment to clear before shipping an item. Use a secure shipping method that provides tracking and insurance, and be cautious of buyers who request expedited shipping or shipping to an unusual address.

Phishing Scams

Phishing scams involve scammers creating fake websites or emails that mimic legitimate ones. The scammer may request personal information or payment information, or they may install malware on your device.

To avoid phishing scams, always verify that you are on the legitimate Gillslist.com website before entering any personal information or payment information. Be cautious of emails or messages that ask you to click on a link or download an attachment.
