Analyzing scam risks

[Coolserver.host]

Hope this helps a few people out not getting scammed. This is how i analyze scam risk:

1. Trust score

If the user has RED trust and/or open scam reports <-- Red Flag

2. Post history

Check the users post history - If the user has a serious gap in posting (4 months or more for regular posting users) <-- Red Flag - Ask the user why he stopped posting for a long time and if he/she can sign a message from an old staked address.

3. Password or Email change

Check the users trust, if the user recently changed his/her password or email it will show on the trust page <-- Red Flag - Ask the user why he/she changed password and/or email address and if he/she can sign a message from an old staked address.

4. Domain age and/or dns updates

If you are wondering about a crypto related site check the whois of the domain. If the domain was registered within the last 3 months or the dns changed <-- Red Flag

5. Is the user willing to use forum escrow

If you are doing a trade or money transaction with ANY forum member, ask if the user is willing to use a forum escrow. If the user is not willing to do that or asks to trade outside the forum <-- Red Flag

6. If it's too good to be true

It ain't true!!!!!!!

I hope this helps a few people not getting scammed on the forum.

Feel free to add more tips.

Anyone can come up with valid scam accusation if he has valid proofs against the accused. Trust ratings/score shouldn't be a factor to consider whether a scam accusation is valid or not. I though get it that most of the negative users come up with baseless accusation and troll in the section but that doesn't means that every scam accusation coming out from a negative user should be neglected.

Its great that someone is coming forward to make people aware and advice what to do in such situations.

Trust score does give a general idea though and its up to the user to have some common sense and read what the ratings are for.

You are right though, this is not always a negative factor.

Trust score is shit and it is the most abused part in this forum.
Soon you will realize all of you.
If you do something that's against of the interests of the DT mafia, you will get red trust soon or later
