Your post is interesting, but looking through the messages here there are many users SELLING "senior" accounts for this forum so how can you even trust "non-newbies?" I've been lucky, I am new here (found this forum searching for cheap SB cards) and have bought some relatively inexpensive items from newbies without issue. I think those threads (selling forum accounts) should be immediately deleted. How can anyone trust anyone here based on that?

Granted, those telltale signs of scammy behavior aren't going to be 100% true in all cases, but it's a surprisingly accurate set of guidelines to keep in mind whenever you're going to do business with someone. There will always be edge-case scenarios and exceptions

There are some untrustworthy people everywhere. Don't trust people you first see based on their rank. You need some proof to judge them correctly.

!! SCAMMER ALERT !!
Sent him 0.044 BTC (40%) for an amazon gift card (0.104 btc).
He sent me a " redeemed / used " gift card code, doesn't work.

Is this the guy you wanted me to escrow the deal for? You should be wary of the telltale signs of a scammer since this user fit a good number of them:

[*DING*]0. 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 you're doing business with another newbie, there's a 100% chance that you will get scammed (or you're a scammer yourself).
[*DING*]1. New account (usually created within the last 3 months, plus or minus)
[*DING*]2. Low-medium message count with vapid posts of little to no contributory value
[*DING*]3. Use of a seemingly realistic first/last name as their forum account name
4. Signs posts with full name
5. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Lending (requesting a loan of course)
6. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Currency Exchange (PayPal, Liberty Reserve, Western Union)
[*DING*]7. Straight out of Newbie mode and selling gift cards/codes/Steam games of any kind (they'll often be purchased with stolen CC info, leaving you holding the bag later on down the road)
8. Any user blatantly claiming to be female
9. New user trying to sell an Apple iAnything
10. Sob stories asking for handouts
11. Never send to a Bitmerch.com address for escrow!!!

For future trades, make sure you don't send anything upfront and keep 100% with a reputable third party escrow.

i thought you had just 1x135$ gift card. how did you sell it to 2 members? how many do you have?

It's surprising that someone would try to scam even while using escrow Roll Eyes
