Title: How to prevent yourself from being scammed Post by: Tomatocage on November 14, 2012, 06:37:59 PM This topic is a spin-off of my "How to spot a scammer" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=119896.msg1291483#msg1291483) thread in the Lending section, which I'd urge you to read first before attempting any transactions here. It's geared more toward loan scammers, but a lot of it is applicable to Goods as well (tangible and digital).
How to protect yourself: 1. If you're thinking about purchasing anything from a relatively new user from this forum, ALWAYS USE A TRUSTED ESCROW. Yeah, that's about it. It's so simple I don't understand why people don't do this ALL the time. Good luck, and happy deal hunting :) |
