People, use your heads and stop feeding the thieves
by CompleteGibberish
I get PMs every few days about someone asking me/we/us to "check" someone's IP and such to see if they have been accused of scamming or if they are a scammer whom has managed to get back on the site under a different name and IP. Now, I see so many people ignoring the SIMPLE rules of trading so much, I must repeat them it seems.
IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE A BID ON YOUR TRADE,JUST A PM, AVOID THE USER !!!
PEOPLE WHO ASK YOU TO USE MSN ARE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT,TRYING TO SCAM YOU
PEOPLE WHO ARE IN A "HURRY" NEED TO BE AVOIDED
DO NOT RUSH A DEAL,HASTE MAKES WASTE TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS !!!! DO NOT TRUST THE SELLER/BUYERS MOOD OR INTELLECTUAL LEVEL BEFORE YOUR OWN "GUT" FEELINGS !
PAYPAL TRANSACTIONS OVER 50.00 ARE DANGEROUS !!! USE ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF PAYMENT. WIRE TRANSFERS ARE SAFER.
DATA ! DATA ! DATA ! GET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. ANYONE TOO LAZY OR " I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH ALL OF THAT" IS TRYING TO SCAM YOU OR INTENDING O SCAM YOU. PHOTO ID WITH ADDRESS OF METHOD OF PAYMENT LISTED ! SELL THE GAME CDS AND GIVE THE ACCOUNT AWAY ! SEND A PACKAGE ! LEAVE A TANGIBLE TRAIL OF YOUR TRANSACTION IF YOUR STUPID ENOUGH TO USE PAYAPAL !!
