I'm fairly new on here but have done about 15 trades so far and have a good Rep and Trust thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190440.msg1972777#msg1972777I have gotten scammed three times and trying to learn more to avoid this, and also what do I do when I get scammed? I can post here, but should I report the person to one of the administrators so they can investigate and possibly give them a scammer tag on their account? I'm sure they don't have time to investigate scammers all day but I just don't know what the proper procedure is, post scam. Thank you.
The procedures used to be that making a special thread in Scam Accusations delineating the evidence would result in a mod reviewing the case as soon as practicable and a tag being given out. The process can easily become very intensive (both timewise, to read the otherwise meaningless drivel scammers (or
their shills) often produce and knowledge-wise, as the issues raised occasionally require a phd in law to see through) and is often enough not a practical use of resources, so it's been pretty much abandoned by now as a matter of course.
The best way to not get scammed and the greatest thing you can do for your own future is getting in the WoT and learning
how to use it.
