SELLERS BEWARE!
Common classified ad scam circulating in
Western Colorado.
If you are selling items through classified ads, beware of callers posing as buyers offering to send you money orders, particularly if the money order is for more than the asking price of your product and the “buyer” wants you to send the overage back or to another location.
THIS IS A SCAM AND IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY POPULAR IN COLORADO.
If you are a victim of fraud contact your local law enforcement agency and file a report. Also, contact the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357), http://www.ftc.gov
