Avoid scammers by following these common-sense rules:

• DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON.
• NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM.
• FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE.
• NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
• AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES.
• UNDERSTAND THAT CHIOBO IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TRANSACTION, and does not handle payments, guarantee transactions, provide escrow services, or offer buyer protection or seller certification.  Anyone stating otherwise is not being honest.
