At the turn of another year, online scammers are rampant with fraudulent activities and many unsuspecting consumers could fall victim. However, WeGoLook now provides a solution to protect individuals in dealing with online purchases.
Some of the predicted 2014 New Year’s scams lure consumers in with timeshare opportunities, auction fraud, and overpayment scams.
Fraudsters will lure a potential victim into a timeshare opportunity by romancing a property and many times make suggestions about using funds from tax returns, holiday money, etc. Many times, once the consumer has purchased the timeshare, they discover the property was not in the condition that was promised, yet they are stuck with the financial obligation. WeGoLook provides consumers interested in timeshare with the opportunity to purchase a Property Verification Report. WeGoLook sends an Agent out to the property (anywhere in the US) to verify the existence and current condition through photos and visual observation. This is a valuable resource for anyone looking into vacation properties.
Online consumers have fallen victim to online auction fraud. A fraudster lists an item on auction platforms such as eBay or Craigslist misrepresenting the item and many times the item does not actually exist. The buyer purchases the item not realizing the “seller” poor intentions. When they do not receive the item or they receive an item greatly misrepresented, the buyer is out of the funds they used and the seller is nowhere to be found. WeGoLook can help consumers looking to purchase items online by dispatching Agent anywhere in the country to verify the item’s existence and current condition through photos, video, and visual observations.
There are many more online scams on the rise in 2014. WeGoLook advises that you are always aware of current scams when purchasing online and if it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Gathering as much information as possible and verifying the item before purchasing are surefire solutions to not falling victim to internet fraud.
