Prevent Being Scammed From Previous Scammers

1. Search the email on a search engine such as Google!
You can never be too careful when trading with people on hacking sites, so search the email on a site such as Google, Yahoo, or Ask.
Google and Yahoo generally give out the most results so those two are your best bet.
Don't just type the whole email in, type the prefix of the email too.
If you were looking up someone named adam1337@yahoo.com, type in adam1337 if you didn't get any results from typing in adam1337@yahoo.com.



2. Search the forums!
Use the search function to your advantage.
It's there so you might as well take a minute or two to possibly save yourself from being scammed.
Just because there is a post about someone being a scammer does not mean that they are a scammer for sure, but it is always good to check.



3. PM a staff member
This includes Moderators (orange), overseers of The Pit and Writers Haven (a sort of turquoise-ish color), Super Moderators (purple), and Admins (pink).
You can view the list of staff members here.

You can ask them to check the IP of the person you are trading with to see if they could be a potential scammer or a previously banned member.



4. Check other hacking sites
If you are a member on a site other than GG check there too!
You never know, they could have been a known scammer on that site.



5. Use a middleman
If none of these work for you use a middleman. Middlemen can reduce the risk of you getting scammed if you know who to use.
People who I would recommend are staff members or VIP members, which have a yellow name.

THE END


If you need help or are looking for a middleman you can PM me and I can help. Hopefully people will read this and possibly help themselves from not getting scammed. Yea some of you may think it's common sense but a lot just don't use it so they end up getting scammed. If you don't understand something you can just ask and I will respond.

Thank you for reading this, if you did.

Oh wow. Tyler how many rep do you have. And if anyone steals my previously banned member guide you die. Also you should Sticky this in the trading sections. It figures you would make this since you are always banning someone for scamming.

Haha. Well if you steal my idea for a guide on spotting previously banned members, which will be somewhat similar to this guide, but significantly different. You will die. That's all. M'kay.
