How to tell a possible online scam:
1) If the product being sold or traded is not yet officially released in the market and somebody is selling it to you, there's a good chance that it is a scam.
2) If the seller won't disclose pertinent details about his company, his identity, his location, and his contact details.
3) If the seller won't see you in person.
Keep in mind that you stand a great chance of not being scammed if you transact with sellers face to face.
4) If the seller demands that transactions can only be made through money-transfer services such as Western Union or bank transfers. (Sellers that accept checks or credit cards can be more reliable because they can be verifiable, although fake checks and money orders are also common.)
5) If the price or deal sounds too good to be true.
6) If the seller gives guarantees of huge profits and little or no financial risk on your part.
