At mynetwheels.com, we want to do everything we can to help you sell your wheels and tires quickly and easily. A big part of that objective is preventing fraud and looking out for your safety as you move through the process. To that end, we've compiled some general guidelines that can help you prepare and safeguard your interests when advertising and selling your wheels and tires.

Get information about the prospective buyer, including full name, street address, phone number, driver's license number. When you initially communicate with the potential buyer, mention that you'll need these documents before meeting with them. It's best to meet in a public place, like the parking lot of a shopping center. And keep your cell phone with you. If at all possible, bring a friend or family member along. And make sure someone knows where you're going.

Overpayment Scam
In an overpayment scam, the potential buyer typically tells you that someone else owes him an amount that is higher than your selling price and he wants that person to pay you instead. He then asks you to give him the products, plus the difference in price. (Sometimes the prospective buyer will offer you additional money as compensation.) Regardless of how legitimate they seem, these situations are almost always scams to get you to part with your products (wheels and tires) and additional money.

Payment Plan
A prospective buyer who wants to work out a payment plan for your products is likely up to no good. At mynetwheels.com we strongly advise against agreeing to a payment plan, regardless of the terms. In these scenarios, the buyer typically gets you to agree to a payment plan, frequently with substantial interest, only to leave you with an initial payment (which may or may not be fraudulent) and disappear with your products. If you are not sure of a transaction and need proffesional advise, Go to our home page and locate a reputable Local Shop or a Wholesaler that will be able to help you with all of your concerns.
