[NoN-Official] How Not to Get Scammed Thread
« on: April 21, 2006, 01:03:20 PM »
Due to the limited control we MM's have as a group, I've decided to have this ONE post with everything an anti-scammer would need to carry out a safe transaction in this jolly black-market of ours.

I'm going to try to be basic and for any further questions, just [color=\"#33CC00\"]PM[/color] me.

[color=\"#FF0000\"]On a side note, please do not ask me how to macro, as my methods are different from 98% of macroers [since I actually know what I'm doing] and will NOT disclose any info whatsoever on that subject, traders secrets http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />.[/color]

In every trade there is BUYING and SELLING so I will cover those two categories

Selling:
- Have the person PM me you from there [color=\"#33CC00\"]THETECHGUIDE[/color] username.
- Take screenshots of the MSN Convo & RS Convo EVERYTIME -- [color=\"#FF0000\"]TEXT DOCUMENTS ARE WORTHLESS[/color] - [color=\"#FF0000\"]REGARDLESS IF YOU'RE SCAMMED OR NOT[/color]!!!
- Most importantly, to avoid being paid with a stolen paypal, have the person who owns the email send you an email from their paypal email ([color=\"#FF0000\"]this is a must[/color])
- Only sell 3mill ([color=\"#FF0000\"]maximum[/color]) to first time customers - Never sell over 3mill, next time, if 1st trade is sucessful, they can get more!

[color=\"#000099\"]MY UNIQUE SAFE-WAY FOR PAYPAL'ing[/color]: When selling mills, require the person have a note in the notes section when sending money. [color=\"#CC0000\"]This note says they are satisfied, and got their product.[/color] (Of course, for less-known members, you may have a hard time using this, cause you're less-trusted but MM's should have the authority to have you include such a note pre-sale)

BUYING:
- When buying, follow some of the same steps, ,uch as identifying the person on THETECHGUIDE (have them PM you)
- Take screenshots, regardless of the outcome.
- Buy from a trusted user, even if it cost more. Would you rather have 2mills @ $20 from a trusted user, or 2 mills @ $15 from an untrusted user. Chances are, the low prices are there to lure you in and scam.


[color=\"#000099\"]List of TRUSTED MM's[/color] along with there contacts!!

could also add: bought a runescape username and password for www.runescape.com, got my item.

this way if they try n chargeback paypal have only got to see the note to realse its non tangeable item http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

yes it does, but I don't have 'sticky' abilities, so I didn't put much effort into it, I'll be updating it daily, so it will at least make sure that MM's and scammers are known to these forums and will teach newbies on how to buy/sell.
