I would like to share. I've had my fair share of getting scammed and getting ripped off.
The thing is that here, you can protect your money via MM but NOT YOUR TIME while for most of us Time = Money.
The common scenario of getting 'scammed' for time by time waster is like this:
1. You see a post or shout on SB by HIGHLY REPPED member.
2. You think wow this guy looks legit and then there is a service you'd like to buy. Say B4U
3. Then the guy say 'You should go first because he is highly repped than you' and say things like 'why would i scam you for petty money or stuff like that'
4. Then you proceed to pay him first.
5. This is where shit begins *drum rolls* : he is not responding. Only a few lines everyday. "sorry i got some stuff irl". "I am having college". "exams and stuff"
6. Then you wait for 1 month, 2 months. Nothing.
7. Your time is successfully wasted. Imagine if you are trying to start a project and everything got messed up by this guy.
8. There are some scam reports even the supplier allegedly delete the discord or telegram (this is super hard to contest) and you will likely lose
SOLUTIONS? Listen:
a. Always do BACKGROUND Research on the vendor. Any scam reports previously opened on this guy? if yes, what were the cases? Sometimes it's behavioral and he will likely repeat. AVOID
b. When committing always set a clear and definite TIMELINE to agree mutually. the vendor can take the time of his life and come back in 2024 and you got nothing. Bind a mutually agree timeline to fulfill order if not REFUND.
c. Always take screenshots of all your conversation and transfer proof. Take screenshots like a crazy paranoia - YES but it is never too safe here. Once they delete Telegram or Discord, you are defenseless - money and time gone.
d. With all above, please always use MM @Liars or @Lucas whenever possible. IF your time is wasted at least your money is not gone.
This is a forum of many diverse people. Each of us have our own problems and shit can happen anytime, to safeguard our interest please be very very picky and careful when dealing with anybody here.
