How Can I Protect Myself From Fraud?

FreeAutoFinder.com tries its best to eliminate scams and fraudulent listings. However as with anything, some may make their way to the website. Because of this, here are some simple tips that you can follow to help you avoid fraudulent listings. You can do your part by reporting fraudulent listings by using the Report Abuse button on their car listing, or by emailing us. FreeAutoFinder.com will make every effort to keep the site clean, but it needs your help as well.

We don't own, buy or sell vehicles listed on our site.

FreeAutoFinder.com is a service that helps buyers and sellers work together to both locate and make the purchases that are right for them. However, we are not a car dealer and do not sell vehicles nor do we negotiate the sale of vehicles, so should you receive an email making a claim that FreeAutoFinder.com is directly selling a vehicle, it is fraudulent and should be reported to us.

We don't offer automotive Escrow, warehousing or shipping services.

Any Email that asks you to deposit money into a FreeAutoFinder.com escrow, or makes claims that a vehicle is being stored or will be shipped using FreeAutoFinder.com is a scam. We do not store vehicles, nor ship them, and we certainly do not act as an escrow company. Avoid these offers and report them to us via the “Report Abuse” button on their ad listing. Or Contact us via the Contact Us page. There are many reputable warehousing and shipping services that are capable of making long-distance transactions easy. Just be sure to check out the services on your own to ensure they are legitimate. If a seller recommends a warehousing or shipping service that is fraudulent report the seller to us and to law enforcement.

We do not get involved in transactions between buyers and sellers.

We do not negotiate directly on behalf of buyers or sellers. If you receive a suspicious email making such claims and using our name and logo report it to us so we can take proper actions, as it is most certainly a scam. Other signs of fraud are emails that: Claim that FreeAutoFinder has insured a transaction Claim that FreeAutoFinder has approved a buyer Claim that FreeAutoFinder will oversee a transaction If you receive a suspicious email such as the ones described above, report it to us and to law enforcement.

We Will Never Ask You For Personal Information Via Email

FreeAutoFinder.com WILL NEVER ask you for your personal information such as social security number, bank account numbers, usernames, passwords, etc. Because FreeAutoFinder.com is a free website for buyers and sellers we have no need to request such information. Should you receive such a request, it is a scam, report it immediately!

We don't inspect vehicles listed on our website

FreeAutoFinder.com does not inspect the vehicles listed on its site. Although a buyer may state a condition of a vehicle, it is always a good idea to check that the car is in fact as it is claimed to be using history reports. After all the seller may not even be aware of any negative past history of a vehicle.

Common-Sense Advice for Sellers

Selling a car online is not that much different from selling a car in a newspaper. It is important to use caution and common sense when dealing in a transaction. It is not a good idea to meet a buyer or seller in an unpopulated place after dark. It is always recommended that you avoid making yourself vulnerable by traveling by yourself; a buddy system is a good idea. Always remember that is a deal seems to good to be true… It Usually Is!!
