Hey man welcome to sythe.
Just remember one thing it is a "black market"
We are the underbelly of the rs community. We cheat, steal or hustle to get what we want. Everyone here is interested in one of those things right? So just watch your back, don't be dumb and always stay skeptical of everyone no matter what. Everyone has their price.
SO
1) if it's to good to be true it is.
2) only buy off people who's product is worth more then you figure their sythe account is worth. (ex. a 500 dollar donator with 100b traded PROBABLY isn't going to scam u for a 20m account.
however don't think that $25 donator with $75 dollars worth of private server gold trading vouches won't scam you 200 dollars ya feel?)
3) ALWAYS ASK FOR A SYTHE PM IF YOUR DEALING ON SKYPE. MAKE SURE YOU ARE SPEAKING TO THE PERSON WHO THEY ARE CLAIMING TO BE. CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH. ALL HIGH RANKED HIGH VOUCHED MEMBERS HAVE TENS OR HUNDREDS OF IMPOSTERS TRYING TO SCREW YOU!!
Just use your brain and be patient when it comes to making purchases make sure everything checks out, use OMM's if necessary.
READ STICKIES.
Feel free to pm me if you ever have hesitations about someone. I can review the facts and help u make a decision on if you should trust or not. Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can see something you've missed.
Sorry for the ramble fest was adding shit as it came to my mind lol.
