Avoiding Scams and Fraud.
-
Brand name spoofing/phishing Emails: - These emails will typically request that you send
money via this site or provide personal information. Garaki and most other companies will never
send out such emails.
-
Work from home or Pyramid Schemes: - Many work from home offers are "pyramid schemes"
which require you to recruit other members in order to get paid. For example, an ad may say that
you can make $100 an hour by stuffing envelopes. But to make that money, you need to sell the
system to others.
-
Always Deal Locally - this simple rule can help you avoid 99% of the scam attempts on Garaki.
-
Never wire Funds by any wire Services like WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM, etc.
-
Never give out your financial information (bank account number, social security number,
eBay/PayPal info, etc).
-
Garaki.com is not involved in any transactions. We do not handle or provide
any kind of buyer\seller protection.
-
Educate yourself about Garaki Privacy Policy.
