avoid getting scammed!

Thanks. I Might put this in my sig
 
Well.. Time and time again so called "trusted" members have scammed. More often than not, this includes staff. I have been here for a couple years and a lurker for years more... and, once again, I have seen hundreds of moderators come and go... they are legit until that last big scam. Right now, you can dig around and find some dirt on some current (and recently past) staff members.

So I suppose it's safe to say... only trust staff that have remained as staff longer than 2 years. Even then...

I got scammed a couple time on questing.

If questers are going 50/50, Take a screen shot of the Quest complete page once your done and show it to the other member if you are taking payment of the account.
No "I have to check if its done" bull shit.

Ive they are paying you after the quest however, your just going to have to have trust

Yeah its pretty hard to know who is trusted and who isn't. Some people might wait for that big moment to scam like with GUNOT for example. I mean you are behind a computer and can't really face the person yourself. Hell even the real world you can get scammed (I surprisingly haven't yet) Like recently with the pardons that was a huge shock. Even though this is true there is still a handful of people that are trusted and would never step down that low and even learned their lesson and matured. Most scammers will learn one day what they are doing is wrong but there are a few that will be losers no matter what.

I have come a long way with Sythe. First time I traded I got scammed (got it back though) ever since then I always paid attention and do a "check" on who I am trading with.

Great guide for all newcomers. :)

I agree. In my eyes, the most trusted users on Sythe are those who have had "shop" for a long time and have handled a lot of cash directly. Namely R2Pleasent, video, and Viou. I just don't trust all these staff who just come and go like flies. Especially when some of them are in that teen stage :P
