Problem with DP (digital point)

scammers more than spammers, its a hot spot, you have to look out for yourslef

 

Shawn is the biggest threat to DP

failing to stop the influx of scammers and allowing them to buy/sell the tools of their trade, (forged/stolen paypal accounts, forged bank accounts, forged documents to obtain the above, and money exchanges, draws in the scammers that spoil DP from what it once was, to a laughing stock of webmaster forums.)

i bet 20% of new DP accounts are made for scamming sooner or later.

 

the people who say "HOW DO I MAKE MONEY?" and do absolutely no research for themselves

 

here here...
BAN CURRENCY EXCHANGES

 

Scammers of course. Nobody likes getting ripped off.

 

I dont think there is a forum that would do that lol...

 

Scammers and spammers of course.

 

I can agree with that, if these were forbidden, it would eliminate most of the problems. However, greed will always attract a new scam. If you look at the majority of scams, the person who got scammed used little or no common sense because they were greedy or it was easy.

Here is an example of the newest I got scammed thread:

His reasoning was "I knew he looked like a scammer but I was desperate and I asked him not to cheat me."

With marks like this, why wouldn't scammers flock to this forum.

 

I'd say guru's and members that help people.

 

I have always said that DP is: The forum where Scammers, Spammers, and Noobs hide. There is no way to defeat them, this is why I took a month "break" from here. We need more good mods to do something.

 

Your Join date is why you think that

In 2006 it was no where like this at all.....

 

in 2005 i dont think i seen a thread with the word "scammed" in it

 

those were the good old days? well, i'd say more members now means more contributions too... so it's pros and cons.
