Look out for the people who arent willing to do escrow. Their will be guys coming on here promising you any gift card but you first must send them money. First sign is low posting number. There is a lot of signs showing someone may be a scam.
It's a mere a scam if someone that will tell you not to willing to escrow and has a low rank and doesn't have any trading history, don't trust that person if you won't hire an escrow. You can trust those people that has legit and positive trusting rating from other reputable members that are in this type of business but still be vigilant because there are people who are just using fake trust vouching to attract others.

All this is common sense when making any purchase and even when making a sale, we must also be alert when they offer us products well below the value that corresponds
Correct which it would really just require common sense for you to engage on these kind of things which we should really set some escrows before making some deals online. Dont trust anybody here on internet because you wont know if they are legit or just scammers. Better to be safe and cautious than sorry. Always set out safety transaction procedures because if we do value our money we would eventually do these steps.

Everyone should know at this point to either use escrow or expect to lose your money. Some people are really too trusting

When dealing with people you don't know always be careful, better to pay for an escrow than loosing all your money.
Bitcoin users are anonymous and transactions can't be reversed so there will be no way to get back your money.
A scammer always uses a new account thus if he get negative feedback he will simply create a new one and start over.
Always take a look at the profile page of the member you want to deal with.

Only reason some are trapped on this scammers hand is greediness without even using oneself common sense.. Some might even know and have doubts at first but ignoring it for a same reason they want easy money that don’t required more work or with promising high interest.. For them,, risks is part of it but they themselves don’t understand what this statement really means..

It is true that there are a lot of scams out there, especially for crpytocurrencies, since there is anonymity and there is no one or governing body that is watching over transactions, there is no doubt that people will try to scam others, what we need to do before we enter a so-called investment that will double or triple our money, we should do a research first, since it is easier to scam people who do now know anything than people who do their research and question what kind of an investment it is, we should also be aware that there are not only scammers out there but also hackers, we should be more cautious.

I agree. There are so many scams nowadays buyers and sellers beware. If one of the party is not willing to use escrow and the transaction is in a decent amount of money. I would considering as a red flagged.

Better to hire an escrow that is expirienced and already given a high trust ratings, you can trust a middleman like that. They are recommended mostly of everyone having transactions with some strangers. Never do a transaction on a stranger with out a trusted escrow.

You should look at the trust before you shop with someone. These days we often hear these kinds of things. Unfortunately, no matter how much precautions we take while shopping, there is always risk.

Everyone needs to be careful in performing transactions with anyone in here. If he cannot use escrow, then you shouldn't trust the person.
It's all about being vigilante especially when dealing with newbie accounts, because most of these scammers will choose to operate in that way.

I often make a deal without using escrow cause I'll have to pay fee for escrow service and sometime I have to wait a little bit too long to be able to use escrow for my deal but luckily I never being scammed before. LOL. But for now, the number of scammer is increasing very quickly I also suggest that escrow is needed for every deal. Cheesy

I would never do a trade here without escrow when the person I'm dealing with isn't a trusted member of the community, let alone go first. With Bitcoin, you have to be cautious about everything. Since you are in control of your money, all your decisions, actions and mistakes are final.

But not all newbies are scammers. Always use escrow, or don't risk what you can't afford to lose. Simple.

First of all why would you send money to an unknown escrow or untrusted escrow in the first place there are some indications that a user can be trusted by their reputation there are many escrow in this forum that offer those services but if you dont like something and something is fishy then that escrow is doing some suspicious in his activity then better dont do any transaction with that person if you dont want to lose your money.

There is a tons of ways to spot a scammer, but if you on the fact is providing some mysterious activity and accusation someone might consider you a (scammer) on the other hand pinpoint your own humbleness inside the forum might accept you as an escrow even if you don't have any trust or feedback.

why you send first for unknown escrow ask first if this escrow trusted and then use it.

also check url good and you can use bitcointalk escrow

This is not new and few people have already got trapped considering that they could save the escrow fees and have landed up in a loss. Especially with the newbie or Jr member they become the easy target as may not know much but it is always recommended to use escrow unless you are trading with legendary or hero member who has good reputation here on the forum.


For how many times that I have read complains like this, that is why its really really better to read and understand the fundamentals. Somebody doesn't understand what escrow is, and after that complaints and awareness are appearing in different kinds of boards.

If people will just be wise nobody will be fooled.

escrow does not guarantee us from scam, but only minimize scam.
We used an escrow to make the transaction safe and both parties will have confident to make a transaction but must remember the guys who are very trusted escrow and do not deal in any other people who have no history of trading. It is good to choose member here in the forum who have more green trust and i am sure they are person can give them more trust.

I have good experiences with green trust members or members, who already got feedbacks. Mostly they offer themselves escrow service. But your warning is useful for newcomers or members, who didn't trade yet and we can't warn enough to not dealing with untrusted members who refuse escrow.
