Never have been scammed. I was almost scammed by RetroActive122 (AIM) but luckily my credit card was denied when I did his offer.

Never- always try to get to know someone a little before you trade with them

I haven't been scammed yet, except for being a n00b I guess I scammed myself when I first started this. I signed up and greened for myself on freepsps lol...

The poll should have been made differently. You should be able to distinguish 0 from 1... oh well.

I've been scammed once. AIM was bllrsrllon22s I forget what his forum name was, but he was banned. He got a green on psps4free out of me. He was a new trader and I was a new trader and I went first from him. Lesson... don't go first for anyone under 5TR, and if you do... do a trade, don't send paypal to new members.

Unless gustonetwork doesn't pan out... then I'll have been scammed twice.

Got scammed on my very first "trade" ever by bennyboy (from these forums). Learned from that experience and haven't repeated since.... at least as far as I know. Still need to submit a few for approval.

Overall trading experience has been pretty positive. Best to stick with the old-timers when you're a n00b and stick with the n00bs when you're an old-timer. We're all trying to get the same things in the end.
