Title: How to not get scammed. Post by: Raize on June 04, 2011, 06:54:04 PM There are two things a scammer wants:
1) To remain anonymous 2) To get your Bitcoin It is hard to differentiate between someone brand new who just found out about Bitcoin and a scammer, because they both seem the same. That's why you should take precautions. You should insist on a Facebook "friendship" before selling for Paypal money Make sure someone friends you on Facebook before selling them Bitcoin. Once they have and you can verify they have about 50 real life friends, then do the transaction (with them paying first). An honest buyer isn't going to care about a temporary Facebook friendship, a scammer is going to say, "I don't use Facebook." Title: Re: How to not get scammed.

Post by: Ookami on June 04, 2011, 10:22:09 PM Sure... Facebook... why not some sort of itunes id ? I mean... everyone has at least an ipod... seriously, that kind of approach won't get you anywhere, I don't think anyone here is too keen on giving his personal data to a big company that doesn't deserve your trust...

I have a better recipe for you: "do not use paypal". Title: Re: How to not get scammed. Post by: bullox on June 04, 2011, 11:37:07 PM Im not a scammer but I dont have facebook.
