    I've been scammed several times as well in DP before. I appreciate with all the advices here too. Don't give away your trust to someone that you don't really know or have low reputation.

    If you have clear evidence and are 100% positive you have been scammed and there has been no mistakes , contact an administrator will all of your information so they can ban the persons IP.

    It happend to me three times. People don't pay. I have no itrade and if i give negative itrade they will too. no escape from it but there should be some way to identify these people who try and cheat. It's not cool to cheat

    Guys there is a simple solution to this , become reputable members :) get some iTraders and when you want to do transactions request either a portion of the payment up front or you'll pay after the service otherwise look for someone else to business with. Part of the responsibility rests with you, remember you play a role and if you allow yourself to be scammed , 90% of the time it is your fault. take steps to ensure that you minimize risk and if the risk is to great , move on and find someone else!
