Dear Sajha Visitor

As with any online presence, there is a risk of being contacted by people with fraudulent intent when you post your classified in sajha or any other classifieds website(s).

This it to notify all visitors and potential and past posters in sajha classifieds that you need to be cautious in matters of trusting unknown individuals with regards to financial transactions when abnormal requests are made to deposit any money.

If anyone offers to send you a check that is bigger than the amount requested then do not deposit it. There has been many cases reported where scammers send you a check for a higher amount supposedly by mistake and they ask you to deposit the check and send a payment to someone else. This is a scam. Please be aware!

In order to protect yourself, always ask for proof of identity may it be personal video phone call and also get hold of individual's facebook profile to make sure that you are dealing with a real identity instead of easily becoming a victim of fraudulent activity.

Your security is important, and it is imperative that you keep a common sense safeguard to protect yourself from any kind of loss.

@sajha classified,
I believe the reason behind sajha requiring credit card and minimal fee was to prevent such fradulence.
Did this person use fake credit card? Cash card? How did this scammer protect their identity from Sajha? Have you reported this person to the authorities?
Or are you just asking people to use caution?

@gandharba

The fraudulent action was not committed by someone who paid to post their ad in sajha classifieds. Someone who was a public visitor, contacted the person who listed their ad in sajha and tried to defraud them.

The ad listings in sajha are *safe* as in their payment records which shows their personal identity are available. Hence the ad listings do not pose much threat of abuse or fraud, but in case of any such activities, legal process can be followed up with relative ease.

This notice is especially posted to alert the people who are listing their classifieds in sajha - that they might be contacted by people with disingenuous intentions.

This is soooo true. One of my friend almost fell for this. Sends you check or money order more than the rent and ask u too sent extra to the sender. This is absolutely true. So anyone who come across please be aware. Never send money to anyone if asked to send in form of gift card or money order.

One time a scammer from Craigslist sent me a cheque for more than what i had asked. He asked to deposit and give the over payment to the two people who would come to pick up the merchandise. He gave a sob story about how he is with the Navy and he is stuck ocean. And, he wanted to surprise his fiance with a nuce gift. When I refused to deposit the check suspecting a foul pay, he then introduced me to "the team who dealt with that kind of situation". However, I didn't fall for it and asked to send me a cashier check.
