    Avoid The Scammers.

    I'm posting this thread here because this is where the majority of scammers, Scam people in this section.

    Tip's
    1.If there user your trading with claim's they have a MiddleMan ready ask who? if they reply Czar , StayTrue Then send a private message containing some kind of message.

    ''Hi Czar/StayTrue Its ''Your Name'' please reply to this if it's you in our msn''

    Wait for a reply no matter how long it take's

    2.Remember never go first, unless you know for 1,000,000% that the other user is truthful

    3.Check the email address if they claim to have a middleman the second step from messaging a Middleman is to look at the email the supposed ''MiddleMan'' is using (Perhap's this can be stickied for this section and the MiddleMan's can post there email's)

    3.Don't trade with someone under 100 post's unless they say they wish to use an official MiddleMan

    Common Issue's
    1.Disconnected You have given your information to the user but they claimed to have been disconnected from the internet but, actually it's more likely they did this to buy time to change your login information.

    2.They claim your login information to be incorrect which can be a possibility but again likely they say this to buy time so they can change the information.

    When Selling.
    1.Using PayPal can be slightly weird as to my knowledge when sending money it isn't exactly instant but if they claim to have sent the money then wait for it's arrival when it does Give them The Information.

    2.If someone says let me login on the account please <-(Using Please) can be seen as slightly begging therefore they may just be interested in playing the account for what ever time they can and not bother paying.

    3.When No.2 happen's say sorry your not logging in on my account ''But have the official MiddleMan say to them don't worry his account is the right login etc.

    4.A stickie situation a user keep's asking for login information or random question's to confuse you unless you know them block and delete them.

    When purchasing.
    1.When purchasing account's for let's say Steam have them send you screenshot's of the game in the account if you notice anything slightly odd either ask or just block them

    2.Never send money before receiving an item such as the account/item.

    3.When buying an item always use a MiddleMan as the person holding the account could a phony or scammer claiming they have an awesome account.

    4.Too Good to be true when an account and the price is just to good to be true? we all know this phrase it likely means it is.

    5.Ask around about the user your buying from maybe he has scammer before and someone in the forum may be able to tell you this before you go for the plunge of buying there account/item.

    Solution's

    1.Quite simple use a Official/Verified Middleman if one isn't online then just wait because it could save you £1~£1000.
