Helicopters Sales: Beware of Scams
Buyer and seller beware! In this economy, selling an aircraft can be a risky business, and it's not just the money you stand to gain or lose from your original purchase price.
Over the past few months, we have seen an increase the number of Internet-based scam emails and phone calls. Most, if not all of these scammers are working from overseas, and the scams are getting more elaborate - using fake escrow companies in Europe, and posing as both buyers and sellers and using information on an aircraft, unbeknown to the registered owner.
Of course we recommend using a broker such as ourselves when purchasing or selling, but if you do decide to go it alone, always use an Escrow Company listed on the FAA.gov website.
