He traded me his get4friends account for a green on his site, and my method of getting green. I finish the get4friends and get slapped on hold....
and this is what pookie tells me
"There are 2 accounts created under baseballdan716's IP. The other account name is circuitdan. This violates our terms of service."
Fuck you Dan....
This makes my Scammed list rise to 5 . Wohoo seems like im the guy to scam!
are you having them take screenshots and things to protect yourself from being scammed?

What is a screenshot gonna do against someone having two accounts?
Honestly screenshots don't do much good against any type of scam, considering how easy photoshop is.
I just don't trade with anyone with less than a +2 trade record on this forum and I make sure to at least make the initial contact through pm here so I can verify their identity. I have yet to have a problem.

Good point, kevxross. Screenshots don't do any good to prove you signed up or not. And if they did signup, it doesn't verify that the offer they are showing was done for your site.
So far, I've traded with several noobs and haven't had a single issue. Most of it is just pure trust that the person you are trading with is just as honest as you are.
My rule of thumb... act professional and I'll treat you professionally. Most of the scammers that have AIM'd me were rude and angry. Pissed off little shits that only care about them.
i wasn't saying screenshots will prevent all scams but they do help some.

Possibly. Personally, if you have to require a screenshot, there's a bit of untrust there. That's a given to a certain degree, but it's more about trusting the person they are going to want to do a good deal.

Thanks )
Needless to say I got bored one day. It's nice now though because it's easy to edit and keep track, like you said.

I thought that lady from get4friends said that it was ok to sign-up under yourself (2 accounts) in a post she made on this board?
