Ok so I noticed a bunch of people getting scammed and allot of new people either wanting to buy or sell stuff so I figured I'd give some tips. Tips on how to reduce getting scammed Tip #1-Save ALL conversations with the person you are dealing with. It helps to know who was at fault and so that the other party cannot deny it. Tip #2-Look at their account on NF. Things to look for:Rep Points,Post Count and member level. The higher either is the less likely the person will scam you because they have allot to lose(this may not always be the case but often is). Tip #3-Ask for screenshots. This is just to verify that the account/pet/item is truly that persons. Tip #4-Pm some people who have dealt with that person before see if they were smooth or a bit shaky. Tip #5-See if you can agree upon a third party to do it through best people to go through are Admin,Mods and Level 3.

There is a middle man forum around.. I think they are still deciding on whether to go ahead with it.. But that's a great guide u_dwn! Thanks for the information!
Good tips to work with. I recommend the middle man idea though. It's good to have a trusted member handling things when you are dealing with somebody you aren't sure of.
