Avoid Fraud
- Deal locally with people you can meet in person - follow this one simple rule and you will avoid 99% of scam attempts.
- Never wire funds via Western Union, Moneygram or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.
- Fake cashiers checks and money orders are common. Banks will cash them and then hold you responsible when the fake is discovered weeks later.
- TheDressList.com is NOT involved in ANY transaction, and does not handle payments, guarantee transactions, provide escrow services, or offer "buyer protection" or "seller certification." If you receive any kind of email suggesting otherwise, it is a scam.
- Never give out financial information (bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
- Avoid deals involving shipping or escrow services and know that only a scammer will "guarantee" a transaction.
Who should I notify about fraud or scam attempts?
- FTC toll free hotline: 877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357)
- FTC online complaint form
- Internet Fraud Complaint Center
- Non-emergency number for your local police department.
