This topic is a spin-off of my
"How to spot a scammer" 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
