    Obvious Scammers?

    Is someone an obvious scammer when they say

    "No I won't use Skele Master, I want to use a OMM, I've been scammed by a normal Middleman."

    Like really? Skele Master is a moderator+ he has 700+ vouchs and this guy declines, even though he used Skele before.

    Nope. If he says he can use an OMM, then that should be fine. I'd keep an eye on him, but I wouldn't be downright worried. He simply might not trust Skele.

    but if he insests on using a certain person or email be very careful and check the middleman email list.

    People say no MM only OMM to delay the trade(sign of a scammer) and to hope in the end result you'll just not endup finding and MM or nobody wants to pay fees so you'll go first.

    Slick fucks aren't they?

    Still though, if you wanna be mr splitting hairs benefit-of-the-doubt then you can waste your time, sure!

    ^exactly what I was gonna say.

    Also if you're gonna use an OMM make sure you make him pay because he did request it or make it 50/50.

    Obvious Scammers?

    2 points of view:

    1) He may just say that to try and get out of the trade (cause hes a scammer), hoping you wont want to pay omm fees

    2) He doesn't trust Skele (E.g, there is an OMM I'd never use too, so this MAY happen, but slight chances.)

    Probably #1 if the solution in your case.

    If I refused to use an MM, would you call me a scammer too? :(

    People definately are if they say 'I not scam' *wink wink*

    Sorry for slight off-topicness.

    But i think you are correct in your post to an extent, but Necromancer makes a good point.

    Because Skele is the main reason why they're banned. (Go scam reports!)

    You can't blame someone for not wanting to use a regular MM. Maybe they aren't comfortable with anyone except an OMM?

    Obvious Scammers?

    Here is a normal conversation with a scammer :

    Scammer : " Hi there, Do you want to buy my account? "

    Gdapro : " Sure, How much? "

    Scammer : " $50 "

    Gdapro : " Well, I dont have enough "

    Scammer : "How much do you have? "

    Gdapro " $15 "

    Scammer " Sure, I'll do it for that "

    They make it look like your getting a bargain and then say

    Scammer " Can you go first please, I've already been scammed before "

    They try and make it look obvious, By dropping there prices from a resonable price to a price which is / looks fake!

    Beware out there GUYS :)
