Security Tips........from Andrew
While I do sell lots of expensive jewelry all over the world I am always on
the look out for fraud buyers. The skill I have obtained over the
years work just as good for the buyer investigating a seller..... I have
been trained by Large Retail Chains Theft depts., Various Banks, Master
Card, Visa, American Express, FBI, and the U.S. Secret Service
This is not every trick in my bag but here are some of my favorites.
I hope they help.
Here are some ways to check out TNS Diamonds Inc.It
is easiest if you are from the Philadelphia area. Please stop in our store
during business hours and we can work out a deal and pay cash on the spot.
If you are from out of town or out of the country you will
have to invest a little time
Suggestions............................
-
my favorite directory is sponsored by
Verizon www.superpages.com type in
the business name or phone number and see if you can verify the physical
address. If you cannot find a physical address DO NOT SEND YOUR VALUABLES.
Do NOT deal with companies who use P.O. Boxes. PO boxes are cheap
and anyone can get one cheap. Stick to a verified address
(Verizon is the most up to date directory)
-
Put the companies local phone number in
www.google.com
also try the 800 number. This should lead you to the web site or a
yellow page directory. If it leads nowhere be careful.
-
If a company only offers a cell phone....
that may be a scam.
-
Is the physical address on the web site.
If it is not be careful. If it is VERIFY IT.
-
Is there an 800 number or some type of free
phone number. If there is not this should raise a red flag. If a
company can afford your watch or jewelry, or claim so, why cant they
afford an 800 number.
-
Can you contact this business during
business hours?
-
Is the business phone a cell phone?
-
Is the business listed in the Jewelers
Board of Trade?
-
Is the business listed in the Yellow
Pages. This is my favorite way to see if a business is real.
-
Call the local yellow pages and ask how
long the phone number has been listed.
-
Does this company accept major credit
cards. If not this should raise a red flag. Do not use a company who
requests only checks or paypal only.
-
If something feels weird, something is
wrong!!!!!
There are other great ways to check someone
out, but these are the best.
Call if you are not sure how to send in your
watch.
1-800-586-1792 ask for Andrew
Please do not attempt to send in a fake
watch. We are experts and will not accidentally pay real money for a fake.
If you do send in a fake. Intentionally or
not we will not send the watch back. You will have to arrange for a UPS or
FedEx pick up. Or you will have to send a check for shipping.
So be sure first!!!!!!
