Alright, so I've been PM'd by a few people what red-flags to look out for since I have a pretty good track record of spotting scammers. Sometimes I get it wrong, but better safe than sorry. Here's a couple rules to follow to avoid becoming a victim:
1. Newbies, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER NEWBIES, EVER. There are plenty of veteran members to do business with and ALWAYS use escrow. If you're a newbie and you're doing business with another newbie, there's nearly a 100% chance that one of the parties is a scammer. I can not stress this enough.. just work with people who have been here at least a year.
2. Always use escrow.
3. See rule #2.

Im glad there's a thread like this in the forum , a guideline for everybody who wanted to enter the trading industry .
We know now that there are many scammers here in the forum , they are trying to make friend with you and eventually steal your accounts or money.
We need to become aware of this. Thank you sir for this ! I really appreciate this.
