Commercial Vehicle Fraud Prevention & Buyer Safety Disclaimer

All Bus Sales is a neutral venue. We publish listings and messages created by third-party users. We are an interactive computer service provider and are not the publisher or speaker of user-supplied content under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230). Editing listings for formatting, length, or search presentation does not make us the author of that content or the seller of any vehicle.

Buyers are solely responsible, before transmitting any deposit or funds, for independently verifying: the seller's legal identity and business registration; the seller's authority and right to sell the specific unit; the full 17-character VIN, matched physically against the chassis plate and the title document; title status and brands (clean, salvage, rebuilt, flood, junk, non-repairable, or export-only); lien and encumbrance status; odometer accuracy and disclosure; and mechanical, structural, and DOT/FMVSS condition.

Sellers are equally responsible for verifying buyers: confirm the identity and business of anyone requesting shipping before payment clears, be alert to overpayment or "send the difference back" schemes, and never release a title or vehicle against a check, cashier's check, or payment app transfer that your bank has not confirmed as finally settled.

All Bus Sales does not perform background checks on users, does not verify VINs or titles, does not confirm ownership, and does not inspect vehicles. Listing on this site is not an endorsement, certification, screening result, or accreditation of any seller.

Never pay by these methods: wire transfer to a personal (non-business) account or to an account name that does not match the seller of record; gift cards or prepaid debit cards of any kind; cryptocurrency; peer-to-peer apps such as Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App; money orders sent by mail; or any "escrow" website whose link or wire instructions were supplied to you by the seller.

Treat these as red flags and stop: a price far below market; a seller who refuses a live video walk-around or an in-person inspection; a seller who claims to be deployed, traveling, or acting through an "agent," "shipping company," or "attorney" holding the vehicle; pressure to act today because "another buyer is wiring now"; a request to split payment across multiple accounts; stock or watermarked photos, or photos whose plates, seasons, or locations do not match the stated location.

Wire fraud and business email compromise. Payment instructions delivered by email can be intercepted and altered. Before sending any wire, call the seller back at an independently sourced telephone number — never a number contained in the payment email — and read the account details aloud for confirmation. Treat any last-minute change to wire instructions as fraudulent until verified by voice.

All Bus Sales will never ask you to send funds for a third-party vehicle to us, to an escrow account we control, or through any payment link we send you. If you receive such a request in our name, it is fraudulent. Report it to contact@allbussales.com immediately.

Step 1 — Verify the unit and the title. Obtain photographs of the actual VIN plate and of the front and back of the title. Run the VIN through a commercial history service and confirm the titleholder's name matches the party you are paying. Confirm any lien has a written payoff and lien-release procedure before funds move.

Step 2 — Order a pre-purchase inspection (PPI). Engage an independent, qualified heavy-vehicle technician — not one referred by the seller — to inspect the engine, transmission, air system, brakes, frame and rust, suspension, DPF/emissions, HVAC, wheelchair lift, and electrical systems, and to confirm the unit is the one advertised. Referral help is available on our inspections and shipping page.

Step 3 — Execute documents before funding. Sign a written Bill of Sale identifying the parties, the VIN, the price, the "as-is" terms, the deposit and balance schedule, the odometer disclosure, and who is responsible for transport and registration. Do not pay against a verbal agreement.

Step 4 — Fund safely. Use an accredited, independently verified escrow service (verify it directly with the state banking or licensing regulator, never through a link the seller sends) or a direct bank-to-bank transfer between verified business accounts. Where practical, pay in person at the seller's bank at the time of title exchange.

Step 5 — Complete title transfer. Obtain the signed title, odometer statement, and any lien release at the time of payment, and record the transfer with your state agency promptly. Arrange transport only after payment and title are settled.

All Bus Sales does not hold, escrow, transmit, or refund buyer funds for third-party vehicles; does not originate, receive, verify, or confirm wire instructions; does not verify seller identity, ownership, title, VIN, mileage, or condition; and does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, currency, or legality of any listing.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL BUS SALES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, THEFT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR CONSEQUENTIAL HARM ARISING FROM FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, IMPERSONATION, WIRE DIVERSION, NON-DELIVERY, TITLE DEFECT, OR CRIMINAL CONDUCT BY ANY USER OR THIRD PARTY, WHETHER OR NOT THAT PARTY WAS INTRODUCED THROUGH THIS SITE.

You assume all risk of your dealings with other users. Any dispute over a transaction is between you and the other party. All Bus Sales may, but is not obligated to, remove listings, suspend accounts, or cooperate with law enforcement.

Reporting. Report suspected fraud, impersonation, or a stolen or misrepresented unit to contact@allbussales.com or +1 (321) 204-7724. Also file with your bank's fraud department immediately, with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3.gov), the Federal Trade Commission (ReportFraud.ftc.gov), and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services or your own state's consumer protection office.

Governing law. This document and any dispute arising out of or relating to it, the site, any listing, any referral, or any communication between the parties are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Mandatory binding arbitration. Except for claims seeking injunctive relief or the protection of intellectual property, and except for individual claims properly brought in small-claims court, any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and All Bus Sales shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration is Orange County, Florida, USA. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.

Class action waiver and jury trial waiver. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY. YOU AND ALL BUS SALES EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Supporting jurisdiction and venue. For any matter that is not subject to arbitration — including a petition to compel arbitration, a request for provisional or injunctive relief, or enforcement of an arbitral award — the exclusive forum is the state or federal courts located in Orange County, Florida, USA. Each party irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction in, and waives any objection to venue in, those courts.

Time limit. Any claim must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Severability of this section. If the class action waiver is held unenforceable as to any claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed from arbitration and heard in the Orange County, Florida courts identified above; the remainder of this section survives.
