    How to know a possible scammer.

    Well this is poorly written. Yes these are all signs of someone new to msn or to sythe, but that in no way implies that they are scammers. I have made a few trades with people that fill almost all of those points and none have attempted to scam me.

    All of the things you posted just correlate with scammers (sometimes), but does not identify them.

    verifying ingame or private messaging is a huge thing, even if u dont want to use an OMM, mention one, to see if they will or wont use one, wich can be a HUGE tell tale sign

    Well..I have to disagree with you some points about the font and MSN personification. Some people like me do not like to reveal too much and privacy is precious.

    If people are ignorant to read the stickies, then that is there own fault. There are numerous guides far more in-depth regarding anti-scam (Such as this one).

    This guide will not help identify scammers, it will only further the sterotype of new members being scammers.

    I'm not here to criticise your guide to the point where you delete it. I realize that you had good intentions in writing the guide. I just would like to see you put more effort into writing a guide, especially one that is as important as this. If you are going to try and inform users, you should do it properly with as much information as possible.

    Also add that they try to rush because "they need to go somewhere in a second."
