Yeah, can't state this enough. No matter how fancy or professional the thread looks, 100% of the newbies with locked threads I've encountered have turned out to be scammers - even those who have been willing to send "vouch" copies

Like nothing I have seen, I am getting to the point where i am not doing business with anything that looks off at all, new or old. 

That's just about everything! Cheesy

Flagged

This seller is offering unreal discounts and keeps deleting posts and locking his thread as soon as someone complains.

Flagged. Besides, this user is almost certainly laundering money. Even if he does send the cards they will probably fail later and the buyer can get legal problems for using a code bought with a stolen credit card

Here's a good chuckle (it shows how no one looks).  "PS30" (AKA Skelder/JAACoff) actually lists a vouch for himself in his own thread.  Guess he can't keep track of all his alts.
Indeed! It's getting absurd

Even most registered users can't see it (and the scammers know) unless it is set in the user profile.  You don't see the "untrusted" trust which contains 95% of the warnings which usually are correct on those scxam threads.  Only DT shows by default.
Every registered user can see the trust according to their trust list, which is DefaultTrust initially.
My point is non-registered users can't see any trust at all, not even as "untrusted". I've asked that to change

Yes, understood, but I'd bet but virtually no one logging on here for the first time (or 50th) on this section has a clue as to what a "trust list" is or how it works and certainly doesn't change it so all they see is the "default" trust which, if you look at the "major" scammers, usually shows 0 since with very few exceptions no one on default tags them. I fully understand the reason for that but it doesn't give an "up front" mostly true picture of who you are dealing with here in the ScamWorld section of BCT.

Thempanince, premiumCodes, baluba and uniqueAmazon have been flagged. Thanks.
It's a shame non-registered users can't see the warnings. It seems they are the main target of these sellers. I hope that changes soon.

Since you're neg-reping scammers, might as well as do this one too:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-aws-code-credits-sd-pmt-sboard-sr-eel-and-more-3001489
Shilling a known scammer's posts on another forum, and apparently is still trying to bump the scam threads despite evidence being posted in his thread.
I don't see enough evidence to tag it. I'll keep watching it. I recommend you to open a thread here with the proper format

I'd love to have big fat red warnings on locked posts or posts that are "managed".

Even better they shouldn't be allowed in Goods at all.

Anyway, escrow should always be used.

I am not sure whether this point is necessarily valid, since for small trades, the time and effort required to find an escrow and cover the escrowing fees often exceed the value of the item itself. When the marginal benefit of escrowing is negative, rationally people will not escrow.

These smaller trades are therefore much more vulnerable to scams by those fly-by-night scammers.

Also, bump.
