Look out for the people who arent willing to do escrow. Their will be guys coming on here promising you any gift card but you first must send them money. First sign is low posting number. There is a lot of signs showing someone may be a scam.

why you send first for unknown escrow ask first if this escrow trusted and then use it.

also check url good and you can use bitcointalk escrow

That indication is not quite always happening in the community, We must understand that a green trust could be a neutral trust or vice versa.

If they are not willing to do escrow avoid at your own risk or you have to convince them to send first if you are really trusted member.

spotting a scammer is a sole discretion for ourselves.

Common sense is all you need which if you do see that you don't have any assurance or security regarding on a certain transaction then our intuition and common sense would really tell us on not to do that such transactions. Scammers are everywhere and do the things that they must do as long they can able to get money from people. Escrows is always advised and there are lots of reputable middleman on this forum which we can actually use their service. If you are on doubt then better to cancel it off than on losing money.

This is not new and few people have already got trapped considering that they could save the escrow fees and have landed up in a loss. Especially with the newbie or Jr member they become the easy target as may not know much but it is always recommended to use escrow unless you are trading with legendary or hero member who has good reputation here on the forum.

That's obvious already when he asks  to send first and his account is low rank.

Escrow guarantee to make the transaction safe in both party, they hold the funds and wait for the other party to give signal if offer was sent successfully.

I have good experiences with green trust members or members, who already got feedbacks. Mostly they offer themselves escrow service. But your warning is useful for newcomers or members, who didn't trade yet and we can't warn enough to not dealing with untrusted members who refuse escrow.

We used an escrow to make the transaction safe and both parties will have confident to make a transaction but must remember the guys who are very trusted escrow and do not deal in any other people who have no history of trading. It is good to choose member here in the forum who have more green trust and i am sure they are person can give them more trust.

For how many times that I have read complains like this, that is why its really really better to read and understand the fundamentals. Somebody doesn't understand what escrow is, and after that complaints and awareness are appearing in different kinds of boards.

If people will just be wise nobody will be fooled.

There is a tons of ways to spot a scammer, but if you on the fact is providing some mysterious activity and accusation someone might consider you a (scammer) on the other hand pinpoint your own humbleness inside the forum might accept you as an escrow even if you don't have any trust or feedback.

First of all why would you send money to an unknown escrow or untrusted escrow in the first place there are some indications that a user can be trusted by their reputation there are many escrow in this forum that offer those services but if you dont like something and something is fishy then that escrow is doing some suspicious in his activity then better dont do any transaction with that person if you dont want to lose your money.

I would never do a trade here without escrow when the person I'm dealing with isn't a trusted member of the community, let alone go first. With Bitcoin, you have to be cautious about everything. Since you are in control of your money, all your decisions, actions and mistakes are final.

But not all newbies are scammers. Always use escrow, or don't risk what you can't afford to lose. Simple.

looking for a signature campaign, dm me for that

I often make a deal without using escrow cause I'll have to pay fee for escrow service and sometime I have to wait a little bit too long to be able to use escrow for my deal but luckily I never being scammed before. LOL. But for now, the number of scammer is increasing very quickly I also suggest that escrow is needed for every deal. Cheesy

Everyone needs to be careful in performing transactions with anyone in here. If he cannot use escrow, then you shouldn't trust the person.
It's all about being vigilante especially when dealing with newbie accounts, because most of these scammers will choose to operate in that way.

You should look at the trust before you shop with someone. These days we often hear these kinds of things. Unfortunately, no matter how much precautions we take while shopping, there is always risk.

Better to hire an escrow that is expirienced and already given a high trust ratings, you can trust a middleman like that. They are recommended mostly of everyone having transactions with some strangers. Never do a transaction on a stranger with out a trusted escrow.

I agree. There are so many scams nowadays buyers and sellers beware. If one of the party is not willing to use escrow and the transaction is in a decent amount of money. I would considering as a red flagged.

It is true that there are a lot of scams out there, especially for crpytocurrencies, since there is anonymity and there is no one or governing body that is watching over transactions, there is no doubt that people will try to scam others, what we need to do before we enter a so-called investment that will double or triple our money, we should do a research first, since it is easier to scam people who do now know anything than people who do their research and question what kind of an investment it is, we should also be aware that there are not only scammers out there but also hackers, we should be more cautious.

Only reason some are trapped on this scammers hand is greediness without even using oneself common sense.. Some might even know and have doubts at first but ignoring it for a same reason they want easy money that don’t required more work or with promising high interest.. For them,, risks is part of it but they themselves don’t understand what this statement really means..
