    I haven't been scammed yet on DP, so fingers crossed it will stay that way :)

    Never been scammed anywhere having to do with the web, but I have had some interesting proposals for business, including to "transfer the domain over for a test".
    "We will sign a contract and everything". LOL.
    Silly rabbits.

    I am selling a 30 year old Virgin e-cookie for $100, Paypal only.
    Wanna buy??

    BTW, No one scammed me so far.. but I always researched a bit about the buyer or seller before doing any business..

    Here's my trick. If the user has low itraders, I ask them to pay upfront - if they say yes, i send them this message:

    "I was just kidding. Will do it right away" :p

    I have a couple of payments pending, but haven't been scammed yet :)

    Haven't done any deals at all here but I plan to do so in the future, when I can. I'll be extra vigilant when buying, selling or trading. :)

    Haven't been scammed yet, and don't plan on being scammed :D
    Just won't do any money trades on DP.

    any thing from some one just show up in your Yahoo Messenger or what ever

    online , Just Go to the Mother Trusted Sited And Buy Your Head Comfort .

    RapidShare Offers You Many Many ways to buy : wire transfer , Paypal ,

    Phone , Even Now Local Resellers , whats more you need . . .

    They tried with me a lot but hey . . . Not Me

    Not in this Life .

    I'm new to this forum and was curious what external methods are used to prevent scamming (Other then the obvious searching on email, username etc)?

    I know in some other forums where I buy/sell a lot of things (computer hardware) we used heatware.com
