Nothing like healthy scepticism and hard evidence

You can use bitmit.net: just post anything you want to sell for bitcoins or ask the seller to do the same. The bitcoins are sent to their escrow system. Once the buyer click item received, you receive the bitcoins. If the buyer doesn't confirm that the goods were received, you write bitmit with evidence that you sent (like the transfer id) and they pay you fast.

How do you get involved in being an escrow? I would do the service, I am very trustworthy but obviously I need to prove that. But if people dont trust me to give me a chance then I will never be trusted haha! Smiley

But.... make sure you use a trusted escrow service such as one of the following:

https://blockchain.info/wallet/escrow
http://btcrow.com/

I have used both with much success, others may have differing opinions though... every consumer thinks differently Smiley

I'm looking into the blockchain, the problem would be finding someone to be the third party.
Haven't seen btcrow before.

use an escrow service to avoid scammers.

what's escrow? Smiley

Escrow meaning you find a very trusted member to be the mediator between you and the person you want to exchange.
You send BTC to escrow, other person sends LTC to escrow, escrow sends you LTC and him BTC.
The person might charge a fee.

If you believe it to be true, you can request he gets a scammer tag here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-list-of-defaulted-loans-list-of-scammers-inside-here-98684

I think that's the right place...

Let's make a list of users to stay away from just for the Newbies section.
Post a username/profile link of the user and a reason to be added to the list.

I'll start off with the user Penetration
He's been called out as a scammer and no doubt has made 50 BTC from scams.

List:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/penetration-66853 (Penetration)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/si-robertson-104073 (Si Robertson)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/clue4-110549 (Clue4)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/bitcoindesktopticker-108199 (BitcoinDesktopTicker) Infected files.
