I see lot of posters on this forum with this under their username


Trust: -4: -1 / +0(0)
Warning: Trade with extreme caution!



Can someone explain what these numbers mean?  I seen this in quite a few posters.  The thing is i see they still have logged on recently so wouldn't that mean they aren't scammers b/c a scammer wouldn't even log on to that account anymore?  I'm confused.
It all depends. It means that the person has done something untrustworthy. For the most part these are your basic scammers, ripping people off for their coins. In some cases, its just people doing something dishonest, like breaking a contract or not fulfilling a contract fully. These aren't scammers, but they are distrustworthy. at any rate, you shouldn't trade with people on the forums at all. even if you establish a relationship with someone on skype and think they are your friend, you should never trust anyone online ever. Don't make any deals without escrow. Some scammers have admitted their wrong doing and repented and/or paid back their debts. Most have not. This does not mean you can trust the ones who have paid back, it just means that they either paid it back out of a guilty conscience or are turning over a new leaf, but it does not make them trustworthy.


How is it debatable? From everything i saw, he took the money claimed a hack, then got scared and made a partial payback to his customers. So where'd all the money come from he used to payback the customers, if all of the money was indeed stole in the hack? the facts didn't add up on that one, atleast that's my opinion on the matter.
