why would you go first? He also asked me to go first but obviously I did not. Never go first.
If you're dealing with someone who has a reputation to lose and are prepared to pull through hurting it by having theymos publicize the PMs and make a big fuzz about it, you can easily do that.
Otherwise just use escrow. It's not so hard and costs max 2%.
I've "gone first" on many people here, but only ones I knew I would have the ability to hurt by attacking and damaging their reputation should they not comply and try to rip me off. That has never happened, because guess what: those dudes have never left me dissatisfied.
I have quite good reputation myself and people "went first" with me and I never disappointed anyone because I want to keep my cool online karma (also because principle, but that's not the point))
well yea i'd go first with respected members, but obviously that name sounded fishy bcs there was another scammer in this topic called hashmen (which is really similar, probably the same guy). If you don't wanna lose money, don't go first, it's as simple as that. I still can't believe how much forum members are getting scammed here each day.
another tip: ppl selling far below the price on the exchange (cryptorush) are usually scammers.
i was trading before it was traded on any exchange
