There are dozens of scams and thousands of scammers out there. For more info about internet scams in general, see www.fraud.org/scams. At Sandhills Global, our security team sees such scam attempts as the following:
- email para Golpe phishing : An email is sent to you as a “lure” to get you to click on a dangerous link, perhaps one that unloads dangerous software or takes you to a site that will attempt to steal sensitive information such as your password. How to fight back: Always be cautious about the links you see in emails. Here’s a trick: hover the mouse pointer over the link and you can usually see the URL it links to; if the link is different than the one printed in the email, that’s a danger signal. If you suspect you’ve received a phishing email through one of our websites, please contact your Sandhills sales representative immediately.
- Golpe por Chamada telefônica: Someone calls you and says, for instance, that he has a buyer for an item you have listed on one of our sites, and for a fee he can arrange a sale. Or the caller may offer to sell equipment at a greatly reduced rate. Often, you’re pressured to send money up front—this is a sure sign of a scam.
- O regime de excesso de pagamento: The buying company will send the seller a certain amount over the agreed-upon selling price, requesting that the seller then send the overage amount to a shipping agent. Victims of this scam have paid the “shipping agent” before the check from the buyer clears. Then they find that the buyer’s check does not clear, and they are out whatever amount they have sent to the phony shipping agent.
- Explore your payment options: If you feel uncomfortable sending money to an unfamiliar person(s) we strongly recommend the use of an escrow service.
On the internet, you’re often dealing with people you haven’t met and have no reason to trust.

If you have questions, concerns, or problems of any sort, please call, or email your representative—he or she can tell you whether someone contacting you has any connection with Sandhills.
