Automosphere.com do not own, buy or sell vehicles listed on our site. Automosphere.com is an online vehicle listing service that connects car buyers with sellers. We are not car dealers. Any listing information about a particular car comes directly from the seller-not us.

If you receive an email that implies we're selling or buying a vehicle, please report it to us. It's most certainly a scam.

We don't offer automotive warehousing or shipping services.
Any email that requests a deposit or payment for a shipment of a car stored in an Automosphere.com warehouse is a scam. Automosphere.com doesn't own a warehouse, and we don't ship cars. Simply put, we don't get involved in transactions between buyers and sellers.

If a seller recommends a bogus warehousing or shipping service, report the seller to us.

We don't get involved in transactions between buyers and sellers.
Don't respond to any email that appears to come from Automosphere.com (for example, by displaying our logo) and urges you to complete the sale or purchase of a car listed on our site. Such emails are a sure sign of a scam.

Other signs of fraud are emails that:

- Claim the security of a transaction is guaranteed by Automosphere.com.
- Imply we've verified information about a particular buyer, seller or listing.
- Describe a "preferred" or "pre-approved" buyer or seller program.

Automosphere.com doesn't guarantee or endorse transactions, and we don't have preferred or pre-approved buyers or sellers. We'll never encourage you to buy any particular vehicle listed on Automosphere.com or to sell your vehicle to any particular buyer. If you receive a suspicious email such as the ones described above, report it to us.

We don't ask you for personal or financial information via email.
Online fraud often begins with a spoof email requesting financial information. These spoof, or scam, emails often impersonate a reputable company such as Automosphere.com by illegally displaying a company's name, logo or trademark.

The intent is to deceive customers into revealing information such as:

Username
Password
Bank account number
Bank routing number
Credit card number
Debit card number

The only time we may ever request your debit card information is when you're in the process of purchasing an ad on our website. We will not take down your listing because you don't provide account information. If you receive an email that asks for the kinds of information listed above, don't respond. Instead, report the email to us.

We don't require payment to enter a sweepstakes.
Automosphere.com may offer promotional contests from time to time, but we'll never require payment to enter a sweepstakes or to claim a prize.

If you receive an email that claims we're holding a promotional contest or sweepstakes, please contact us:

We don't inspect vehicles listed on our website for any sort of damages.
Damaged vehicles may have been:

- Contaminated with toxic chemicals.
- Carrying large amounts of harmful residue.
- Corroded, causing damage to electronic components.

To avoid purchasing a damaged vehicle:

Inspect the car
Schedule an inspection with a professional, mechanic who is trained in handling vehicles.

Obtain a vehicle history report
A vehicle history report can provide useful information, such as who holds the title, whether the car has been in an accident and if it was ever reported stolen, salvaged or damaged.

Know the car's market value
Be suspicious of a vehicle priced significantly below market value. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Obtain a vehicle history report
A vehicle history report can provide useful information, such as who holds the title to the car and whether the car has been in an accident reported to authorities. You'll also find out whether the car was ever reported stolen, salvaged or damaged.

Inspect the car
Schedule an inspection with a professional mechanic or an inspection service if the car is not in your area. An early inspection can help you identify problems. However, keep in mind that an inspection isn't a warranty and won't guarantee a car is free from defects or that inspectors have identified all existing problems.

Confirm contact information
Before you send payment, verify the seller's street address and phone number- an email address is not enough. Addresses should match up.

Get a detailed receipt
Ask the seller for a receipt that states whether the vehicle is being sold with a warranty or "as is."

Get title to the vehicle
Make sure you know what's required in your state to transfer title to the vehicle you're buying.

Confirm contact information
Be particularly wary of buyers willing to purchase your car sight-unseen. Always verify the buyer's street address and phone number.

Secure payment first
Do not transfer the title until you have payment in hand at the agreed upon price.

Verify that a certified check is genuine
Before you deposit a certified check, verify authenticity with the issuing bank-not just your bank. Make sure the account contains sufficient funds and the issuing bank guarantees payment on the check. It may take a week or more for the check to clear. It hasn't cleared just because your bank has accepted it and credited your account.

Beware of overpayment or other complicated payment schemes
Don't agree to any plan where the buyer asks to send a check for more than the sale price and requests that the seller refund the difference. And be suspicious of any buyer who proposes making payment through a friend or agent of the buyer.
