Title: PSA Always check the trust of the person in profile before buying anything
Post by: marty123 on October 27, 2016, 02:53:00 PM
Many are scammers who are selling, it helps to spend a minute to check their profile and see the negative trust including untrusted feedbacks. Don't be scammed, be safe.

Example check this users untrusted feedbacks https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=909561

He has few threads up and running https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1650824.0


Also beware of newbies giving positive reps to them, they can be organized scams.


There are many like him, be safe and trade safe.

This is obviously common sense.

This is obviously common sense.

But as you can see many people get scammed even after there are untrusted negative feedbacks, mostly because they have ignored the warning or have not checked the untrusted feedbacks.

Also never buy from a seller who locks their threads and also self moderates their thread.

That user got negative finally, and about five people were scammed after i posted this warning about that user,

now we have more new users popping up with same scam, it seems already few users have lost 0.5 btc+

cant you people be more careful, see thw warnings, use more common sense, look for obvious sign.
