It is official, seller and buyer protection against online transaction
fraud has arrived.
The conditions do not lie. With continuing economic weakness
and soft employment conditions more and more people resort to careless online
behavior to target the blind trust of others assuming they will not get
scammed.
Fraudsters operate online because they can act in obscurity
without the real threat of being caught or prosecuted for their demeaning
behavior. In fact, many victims of these acts have little or no recourse
against the blatant online dishonesty or plain negligence practiced by
charlatans.
The reality is that Internet transactions, especially buying
products or services from strangers, have inherent risks. Too many people have
been displeased by what they got or did not get in return for their prepayment.
Of course, expectancy is often greater than reality but the opposite is true
when buying from those whose ethical fabric lacks honesty. At the other end of
the scamming spectrum buyers overpay sellers so-called by mistake by money
order demanding to have the overpaid amount wired back at the payment deposit time
before the seller knows that the payment instrument is a counterfeit. To make
matters worse, anyone cashing a fake money order can get in legal trouble with
local authorities as the act is a criminal offense in most countries. Besides
who wants to get involved in spending time and money to recover from an online
transaction that went bad. Scammers count on the fact that you succumb to the
lesson learned and not come after them even when they reside in your native
country.
Here are some examples.

Therefore, more than ever before is it important to protect
sellers and buyers against online misbehavior or misrepresentation and to
finally put an end to these everlasting problems. The sad truth is that
industry efforts have and are focused mainly on identity theft and financial
data protection, which is a very good thing, but hardly any action is directed
toward protecting people against online transaction scams. To combat this
terrible crime and the ongoing rise in online transactional fraud and
dishonesty, we decided to do the work for you and deploy fraud prevention by
giving you the personal tools to literally inspect what you paid for is what
you got or made believe you would get. This means that we hold the transaction payment
on your behalf until you confirm to be fully satisfied with the transaction
outcome. Only then the payment deposit transaction amount is released. However,
when visual inspection presents any undisclosed or unreliable material facts you
can reject the transaction whereupon we refund the prepaid transaction amount
in full.
The good part of it all, the payment protection service is
free of charge and risk free because it all happens in one secure place. More
about this and other free payment services at www.meetmarketmakers.com.
We look forward to protecting and serving you!
