We encourage you to always use DASautoshippers.com to protect your online transactions. Fraudsters often use a variety of excuses for why they cannot use DASautoshippers.com. If you do choose to use a different Auto Shippers service, the following points may help keep you from becoming a victim:

• Fraud sites often claim they are associated with DASautoshippers.com. However, DASautoshippers.com is not associated with or affiliated with any other Auto Shippers site.
• If a site looks similar to DASautoshippers.com, it is likely fraudulent. A legitimate company will spend the time and effort to create their own brand and will not steal the work of other companies.
• Fraud sites often claim they are recommended by eBay, eBay Motors, or Yahoo! Auctions. You may see the list of sites eBay actually recommends by clicking here. Note under Auto Shippers, Dasautoshippers is The Preferred Provider for eBay.
• You should call the customer support number (if any) on the site. If there is no phone number on the site, or if you can’t reach the company, it could indicate the site is fraudulent. Consider whether you want to entrust your transaction to a company you can’t reach on the phone.
• Do a search for the company name on Google (or similar search engine). Established companies will generally be listed. Fly-by-night companies will not generally be in the list.
• See if the web address of the Auto Shippers site is registered with the Better Business Bureau by entering it in their search form.
• Determining the date that a domain name was registered can often give clues that a site is fraudulent. Many fraudulent sites claim that they have been in operation for several years, but their domain names have only been registered for a few days or weeks. To determine the date a domain name was registered, you can use the “whois” tool found at most domain name registrars.
• If a site uses person-to-person money transfers such as Western Union, it is probably fraudulent. See what Western Union says about fraudulent internet activity by clicking here.
• If the Auto Shippers site requests payment to an individual (or "agent") instead of a corporate entity, it is fraudulent.
• If a site only accepts wire transfers, e-currency, and other similar untraceable (or difficult to recover) payment mechanisms, it may be fraudulent. However, just because a site accepts credit cards does not mean it is legitimate – the site may be set up simply to steal credit card information. DASautoshippers.com DOES NOT ask customers to wire money.
• If the site does not use SSL to protect user sign-in information, it is not a secure site and is most likely fraudulent. Most browsers display a padlock or similar symbol in their status bar to show you when your information is being protected by SSL.
• Be wary of sites that have Auto Shippers fees that are unreasonably low.
• Spelling errors, grammar problems, broken links, and inconsistent information (such as the location of the Auto Shippers company) are usually additional indicators the site is fraudulent.
