Every few weeks/months there is a user who gets away with a huge exit scam. These scammers tend to stick around MPGH for a while posting/contributing, doing giveaways, making their account look legit warding off suspicion. Then they will accept orders in large volumes, and disappear.
Tell tale signs a exit scam is about to happen?
- User is opening up many services
-Usually SE services (Fitbit, Jabra, GoPro are common)- User is taking A LOT of orders
-You will be able to see how many orders he's accepting based on how often he is replying to people on his thread.- User opens Currency Exchange thread
-Scammer will try to exchange his PP funds into BTC/AGC- Buyers cannot get a hold of OP
-Scammer is taking longer to deliver confirmation for orders, tells customers to be patient.
