Avoid auto-buy links, mainly locked or self moderated. Register before dealing

Thempanince, premiumCodes, baluba and uniqueAmazon have been flagged. Thanks.
It's a shame non-registered users can't see the warnings. It seems they are the main target of these sellers. I hope that changes soon.

Even most registered users can't see it (and the scammers know) unless it is set in the user profile.  You don't see the "untrusted" trust which contains 95% of the warnings which usually are correct on those scxam threads.  Only DT shows by default.

Every registered user can see the trust according to their trust list, which is DefaultTrust initially.
My point is non-registered users can't see any trust at all, not even as "untrusted". I've asked that to change

Bump this to keep it visible. And be cautious folks of this newbie with the usual locked thread and rocketr buy links.....the one and only omyyy

Yes, understood, but I'd bet but virtually no one logging on here for the first time (or 50th) on this section has a clue as to what a "trust list" is or how it works and certainly doesn't change it so all they see is the "default" trust which, if you look at the "major" scammers, usually shows 0 since with very few exceptions no one on default tags them. I fully understand the reason for that but it doesn't give an "up front" mostly true picture of who you are dealing with here in the ScamWorld section of BCT.

Bump for the cause

This seller is offering unreal discounts and keeps deleting posts and locking his thread as soon as someone complains.

Flagged. Besides, this user is almost certainly laundering money. Even if he does send the cards they will probably fail later and the buyer can get legal problems for using a code bought with a stolen credit card

Here's a good chuckle (it shows how no one looks).  "PS30" (AKA Skelder/JAACoff) actually lists a vouch for himself in his own thread.  Guess he can't keep track of all his alts.

Indeed! It's getting absurd

Thank for warning me.

Like nothing I have seen, I am getting to the point where i am not doing business with anything that looks off at all, new or old.

That's just about everything!    

[fiscorcle]

Yeah, can't state this enough. No matter how fancy or professional the thread looks, 100% of the newbies with locked threads I've encountered have turned out to be scammers - even those who have been willing to send "vouch" copies

You should add self-moderation to the title, they are starting to unlock and just rely on self-moderation, haha

Yes, it seems some of them changed their modus operandi :/
I've updated the title and OP and flagged a few more

[gr8fuldea]

Bump it up, keep it strong. Yes it is nice not seeing locks all over the place, but be just as cautious with self-moderated threads.

I just did a Google search for PS3o (AKA JAAC / SKELDER) Skype email jwh.0155@gmail.com and found he was BANNED on the MPGH forum. Why don't they have the balls to ban scammers here? That's probably why they all end up here.

Bump it up

Can we ask the mods to stickie this? I think this is quite important and I've seen this quite rampantly in the past.
