What is Caveat Emptor?

Caveat emptor is a Latin phrase that is translated as “let the buyer beware.” The phrase describes the concept in contract law that places the burden of due diligence on the buyer of a good or service. Caveat emptor is a fundamental principle in commerce and contractual relationships between a buyer and a seller. 

According to the caveat emptor principle, a buyer is responsible for performing the necessary due diligence before the purchase to ensure that a good is not defective and that it suits his/her needs. If the buyer fails to perform the necessary actions, he or she will not be entitled to any remedies for damages in case the purchased product shows significant defects.

Sample scam recently sent to us:

 This guy below turned out to be a scammer.  I called him back and caught him off guard at which time he said “I am interested in your ad.”  I asked him what he wanted.  Then said “Oh ya, you have a car for sale on Facebook.”  I told him no that I had a bike for sale but did not include that It was only listed on the CVMG site. 

Then he sort of caught on said “oh ya, you have motorcycle. I like British motorcycles.  What model and year is it?”  The discussion went on a bit at which point I confirmed that he hadn’t the slightest idea what he was supposedly interested in. This was all went on with a heavy middle eastern accent.   After I of queried him a bit more I told him to forget about it.

This is his reply message to my ad:
