THIS GUIDE IS WELL KNOWN, OBVIOUS INFORMATION! Just restating it to reinforce the point people
K, well I've been going around looking for pins, and every once in a while (and by this i mean 9/10 threads) ill see a very VERY obvious scammer. I usually post on the thread and warn the noobs, pointing out the obvious classic scammer traits of the seller. Despite my efforts, noobs go ahead and trade with the asshole. Afterwards, they bitch about it even though I warned them and im kinda tired of it....
No more on that topic though, because I piss and moan when i get jipped too
anyhow, before any trade check for these details.-----
1) The person's post count. -dont go first to noobs
2) The person's profile to check their average number of posts a day - check for spam nubs
3) Look through their vouches
4) Try to remember if the name is familiar- have they been around sythe alot?
5) click on vouch links to see if they are legit.
6) As stated by vlad, ask for a pm or confirm that the MSN does belong to that person before initiating the trade.
HOW TO TELL IF A VOUCH IS A REAL LEGITIMATE VOUCH
1) Check the thread to see if it is a real buying// selling thread-also check the post times. A ridiculously fast trade is fake.
2) Check the voucher's details (post count, vouches, familiarity, etc)
3) Verify, on the thread, that a post was made addressing the thread owner before the vouch-asking for msn or pm, etc
4) Usually scammers will have vouches from their own multi accounts
These accounts will be leechers or their average post count per day will be super high to get their "trust" up.
I realize that using an mm would be safer, but it can be costly and, when using the bh method, risky and a big hastle.
Well, I hope this helps and dont get fucked.
