Harassment, Publication of Personal Information
If your personal information has been posted on Turbine List, use the “report abuse” link on the listing page to report the abuse.
Abusive Email
If you are receiving abusive email directly from another site user, it may be advisable to forward details of the messages, including the full email headers, to the sender’s email account provider. If you feel the harassment is significant enough, it may make sense to report the issue to law enforcement as well. In addition, it may help to set up a block against the sender’s email address in your email client.
Abusive Postings
You can report abusive postings using the “report abuse” link provided in each listing.
Avoiding Scams
- Do not provide payment to anyone you have not met in person.
- Never wire funds - anyone who asks you to is a scammer.
- Don't accept cashier/certified checks or money orders - banks cash fakes, then hold you responsible.
- Transactions are between users only, no third party provides a "guarantee".
- Never give out financial info (bank account, social security, paypal account, etc).
- Do not rent or purchase sight-unseen—that amazing "deal" may not exist.
Who should I notify about fraud or scam attempts?
- If you are defrauded by someone you met in person, contact your local police department.
