How has AlternativeCypt avoided scam tag or ban? He is clearly disruptive and a fraudster.

He will soon...
Regardless - this guy is just going to keep creating alt accounts and scamming those that aren't careful. To minimize your chances of getting scammed it's simple:
- Don't trade first with jr members
- Don't trade first with anyone that doesn't have an established history here
- For large amounts split up the transactions
Obviously you'll also have to use your best judgment, but that covers it 99% of the time. AlternativeCypt was clearly a scammer if you checked his post history, so this all could have been easily been avoided by the OP if he took the time to check.
