| Safeguard
your transactions
Due to incidents that have occurred, we want to give you some advice
to help you safeguard your transactions during purchase or sale of used
equipment:
Be vigilant when dealing with someone
abroad, especially if the person is not a professional (a dealer or
agent).
Meet the person you are dealing with before engaging in a transaction.
If you do not want to travel, check his/her name, address and telephone
number with the help of Yellow Pages for traders or The Phone Book for
private customers.
For international transactions you can
use The Infobel Directory.
Do not ship a machine until you have guarantee of payment.
Before depositing a cheque in your bank account, contact your bank to
check that the issuer of the cheque is solvent and check that the cheque
has not been stolen and is not counterfeit. You should realise that
a cheque may be accepted when deposited but then debited against your
account several weeks later if it has been stolen or is counterfeit
or overdrawn.
Written agreement from your bank will
give you a basis for a claim in the event of a problem.
You should realise that even a bank cheque may be counterfeit.
If a machine is offered to you at a price which is much lower than its
valuation price, approach the transaction systematically.
Before making a downpayment on the purchase of a machine, make enquiries
about the seller, by telephoning his/her bank for instance.
Never send money using services such as Western Union or MoneyGram.
If a buyer suggests paying you a sum greater than the asking price,
refuse to deal with him/her at all.
Never make a downpayment for goods that are meant to already be in transit
somewhere.
