Re: Person to person transfers.

I didn't follow the old huge thread because I never really had any need to transfer so this might have been covered somewhere within the 30 pages of posts.
Anyway, how safe are the funds you receive? Is it possible that someone can load up $500 in fraudulent funds on a site and then transfer to you and you're on the hook for that money? Any safeguards we can take to prevent this? We see those posts in the Zoo stating, "LOL I deposited $2,000 in bad funds on stars - should I pay them back?" but those usually end with the person losing all the money rather than trying to "launder" it to a new site. It all just seems risky to me. Am I paranoid or can we receive "bad funds"?

I would assume it is most certainly possible to be the recipient of fraudulent funds. People could deposit with a fraudulent cc and then transfer to you. FTP seems to prevent this. Stars is another story alltogether.
