Why do I see charges on my online credit card statement, but my ad isn't posted? 
- 99% of the time these are only pending payments - it is possible that the credit card number was entered correctly, but your name and/or address was not, so it was declined on our end - but the authorization request shows on your online bill.  Make sure that you enter your address exactly how it appears on our statement.  So if it show 'Street' or ' Avenue' - don't abreviate 'St' or 'Ave'.

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS

Be careful of anyone with a @lycos email address.

Don't accept Partial payments - over any overpayment from someone from out of town.

How are you doing today? I want you to run an urgent errand immediately you receive the check in the mail today. Payment for your services is included within the money. However, I would prefer to pay you upon satisfactory completion of the tasks. So I have decided to pay you half now and half at then end just so there are no discrepancies. Go ahead and cash the check at your bank, Deduct $100 (partial payment for your services for this week) and then go to the nearest MoneyGram to do a money transfer. Send $2000 to my supplier at this address:

If someone mentions payment by cashier's check, MoneyGram or Western Union - it's a scam.
