Isn't it your own fault by dealing with these kinds of people?
That's one of the most fucked up things I've evar read!
It's one thing, if a user here posts a question, who is this jalphei biatch and is he to be trusted. Then after hearing several members post horror stories, or links to other problems with him, they decide to go thru and engage in a deal with him.
It's an entirely different matter, when a seemingly legit trader here, or anywhere else for that matter, turns bad, skips out on a deal, and scams you!
If you have no advance warning of someone, it really isn't your fault. Well there are sometimes subtle signs that one may be a scammer. usernames & email addys like dirtyboy69 or scamer666 or
I_eat_your_soul@aol.com these peeps I'd steer clear of, but that's just me.
Dirtyboy was also a member over at Atariage, and he's been here & there for some time. He didn't just jump in here overnight and take advantage of people, he was a memeber who became a scammer/bad trader, and who is not trusted now, or probably ever again. Hopefully he will make his wrongs right, but it doesn't seem like he even knows whom all he's scammed.
