AVOIDING SCAMS AND FRAUD
Computers have changed the world. Today anyone can sell or buy anything without leaving the house. If you have to meet someone, please keep these safety tips in mind. Always tell someone close to you where you are going and who you are meeting. Ask the person before you meet them for a phone number and call them back to verify it. Ask questions. If they seem suspicious don't respond. Consider taking someone with you. Always take your cell phone with you. If you do meet someone and they have to come to your home to look at paintings or photography make sure you are not alone. Do your business in the daylight when the neighbors are home. Most of all, use common sense. For more information on personal safety online, click this site: http://getsafeonline.org
If you buy or sell paintings or photography from art galleries online and are planning to meet someone for the first time please insist on meeting in a public place.
If you are going to someone's home to look at paintings or photography take someone with you.
Avoid letting a stranger in the house by meeting them outside or in the garage with the door open.
