Safety Tips When Using BoomerLink?

While most individuals who use TheBoomerLink.com will have success using the site, it is possible that people may try to scam or default our members. We hope you will take the time to read these simple guidelines to protect yourself from such people.

Always remember these 3 basic principles:

  • Always plan to meet in person and view the product you wish to purchase. (Never agree to transfer or exchange funds online)
  • Always pay in cash and in person. (Never give your credit card number, bank account number, or other financial information to anyone online)
  • Always keep your personal information private, until you are sure of the product or service being offers. (Never post an ad with your personal email address, personal phone number, or address information.)

We have provided several security features on the site to help follow these principles:

  • We never display or show your personal information with any ad you post.
  • All communications between you and another member on TheBoomerLink.com is through your TheBoomerLink.com Inbox. If after several communications, you are sure of the other person's intent, product or service, you may then request information facilitate an in person meeting.
  • All email communications between TheBoomerLink.com will be through simple email messages. This will help you to spot potential fake emails asking to reveal your personal information.
  • We maintain as little information about you as possible. This is to avoid any attempts to gain your information from us. The only information needed to use TheBoomerLink.com is your email address and your password. If you forget your password, you can request that it be mailed to your email account. If you cannot gain access to your email account, you can create a new TheBoomerLink.com account using a new email address. We will never give out your email address or password to anyone.

You can help protect yourself and other TheBoomerLink.com members if you follow these basic guidelines:

  • Inform TheBoomerLink.com of any attempted fraud or suspicious emails, ads, or other activity by community members. In case of fraud, file a police report and contact us. (See below for more details on reporting scams and fraud.)
  • Use common sense. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
  • If you see a listing on the TheBoomerLink.com site that you suspect is Spam, illegal, or otherwise violates TheBoomerLink.com's policies, please click on the links found under ""Flag this ad as"" in the bottom right of the ad's page. Flagging ads brings the ad to our attention so that we will review and can take it down quickly if appropriate.
  • You can also use the ""Report illegal/infringing Ad"" link on an ad's page to send an email to the TheBoomerLink.com staff regarding a certain ad.
  • If you reply to an ad and the person who posted the ad emails you with a suspicious request (eg. asks for money to be sent to them via a payment service), please forward us the email and stop all communications with that person.
  • If you are the victim of fraud, inform TheBoomerLink.com and your local police service.
  •  If you have any other security questions that aren't answered above, then please contact us.

We hope everyone who uses the services of TheBoomerLink.com will have an enjoyable and profitable experience.
