Don

I have been Scammed, buying and selling,

You can try using Venmo, or Zelle  One of the online 

Online payment systems that you use or connected to your bank,

They can verify the funds or send you the money back if you're buying

I was able to get my $ back

They have a dollar limit, but it will flush the scammers

You can also try Bring a trailer or Hemmings online

Best is  Cash or certified check

Selling my '65 Belvedere. So far, I've gotten two bogus checks. Both were for exactly $10,000 more than the agreed upon price. One was a stolen check written on a closed account. The other was a fake check using a stolen bank account number. Always verify the check, I'd suggest even a certified check (these were not).

Lessons/observations. Be suspicious if:

1. they ask few or no questions. 

2. Agree to your asking price quickly.

3. They are pushing you to cash the check - like, do it NOW - (so you don't have time to verify it). 

4. If they send more money than you agreed. (shipping cost are not $10,000)

5. Would you spend $30-40,000 without seeing the car? I wouldn't. 

My question is: how do you get paid when you sell a car?
