Re: I got scammed by Clamper13 and Blueman posers
Seriously guys, WTF-
How hard would it be for every transfer to go through the following process?
Speak to them on 2p2.
Ask for references.
Trade AIM names.
Exchange telephone numbers and speak with eachother briefly over the phone.
Sit down at a table with the amount you intend to swap.
Swap whatever amount you're swapping in 5 increments, i.e., $1K = $200 x 5
Fwiw guys, if anyone here gets scammed and has any personal information on the scammer (name, city, age, etc, etc), pm me and I can usually locate them through a database I still have access to from days long ago as an asset recovery specialist.
But seriously, I know most of us dont like a hassle or inconvenience, but practice some patience when transferring money and use protocol that reduces your risk. Take the extra 15 minutes to ensure you either wont get scammed or if you do get scammed it's minimized through small transfers instead of one lump sum.
