Scams reported to the Webmaster

We continue to receive e-mails from MAFCA web readers reporting possible scams involving posting in our classified ad section. To better inform you about these possibilities, we will note and post these reports on this page.

If you think you've received a scam letter or phone call, please send the details to the webmaster and we'll post them on this page.

We all have probably heard the phrase "Let the Buyer Beware." In the 21st century, we must add "Let the Seller Beware." Check out offers you get closely, especially if the offer sounds too good to be true.
