Five Tips to Protect Yourself
|
 |
Be Cautious
It is human nature to be trusting. However, people take advantage of this every day. Do not rush into a business deal with anyone. Take the time
to check their credentials. If you feel even slightly uneasy, ask for a face to face meeting, or prior customers you can speak with. The most powerful
question available to you is "Why?" and use it to understand the reasons they are asking for certain info from you, especially sensitive information like
payment, or credit card or banking information. If they are inconsistent or hesitant to provide info back to you, or in any way suspicious... then double
check their credentials... In fact, triple check them!

Confirm Contact Information
Check to ensure the phone number, email address, and physical address all belong to the same company and are in the same country. If you note
any inconsistencies in their contact information, take steps to confirm the legitamacy of their information. Scammers can create fake email addresses
and other address information, so it is vital that you check this carefully.

 |
NuDeal will NEVER ask you for sensitive information in an email
We will never ask you for banking or credit card information in an email. We will never ask you to verify your membership info in an email. If you receive
an email that looks to have come from us at NuDeal, be sure it has. Our email addresses have @nudeal.com in them. If there is any other character like @NuDeal-Site.com or anything similar
it is likely a fraudulent email. Similarily, our web address is www.NuDeal.com. If you see an address like www.NuDeal-Site.com or similar, it is likely a scammer site setup for fraudulent reasons.

Be Aware of Fake Email Addresses
It is possible for a scam artist to send emails that look legitimate, but are fake. Be very careful when you receive
email correspondance (even from those you know) to ensure you are dealing with a real company. Ask for multiple ways to contact their company including their
phone number and fax number. Verify their business registration in the country they propose to be from.

Suspect Shipping Addresses
Certain parts of the world are unfortunately known for higher rates of fraud. These are Central America, Western Africa,
and Eastern Europe. Be extra cautious when dealing with individuals and companies from these locations.
