Really in depth guide OP! I'm not sure if i missed this or if it wasn't in your guide but also be aware of people who screenshot an email from popular websites such as "Steam" and "Humblebundle" where the text has errors such as Don't will be Don/t that's a common error among spoofing programs to where the ' is replaced with a /. The Scammer can send himself the email to make it look like he received a game key. Also signs of a fake email can be how they crop out or block the date that the email was sent.

very helpful , but some newbies like me might not have the opportunity to see this.

Scam methods have changed a bit in 2016.
I'm just going to sum it all up very quickly to make it obvious for the traders around:
- Paypal money is recoverable, but not if you send it as friends and family. Never go first when you pay as friends and family, and never pay as friends and family if the product you receive is not complete. example: a life-time warranty netflix account, a SE'd product, ..
Note: paying as friends and family will also get your account flagged. This would result in you having to provide real life photos of your identity, which is a big problem for a lot of people. Be very wary with friends and family payments.
- Bitcoin is not recoverable. Alot of sellers who enforce the use of Bitcoin with no reputation are not here to complete your order and ask you for a nice little feedback score. They're here to take your money, delay the order as much as they can and leave with as much cash as they can. DON'T PAY UNKNOWN PEOPLE WITH BITCOIN!
Alot of traders these days do not use the recommended PayPal note.
If you do not know your buyer well and do not know if he is to be trusted in long-term periods or not, force them to pay with a note if they're buying via goods and services or you'll end up with a chargeback and a limited paypal account.
Just do it, the note is to be found in the thread.
Beware of new MPGH members who have donated and created a 'reputation' for themselves and try to sell things. Some are legit, others will take as much cash as they can before they get banned and repeat their process as a new person.
There is not much to be added for 2016.
BE FUCKING CAUTIOUS WHEN YOU USE BITCOIN!!! It is a scam paradise.
Get confirmation through MPGH each time you trade with a person through Skype. Get confirmation again even if you have had them added for a long time and gotten it before. This is to ensure safety and security for both parties.
