How about a " been scammed by this user" section?

    Just yesterday I was scammed for $49. I'm sure most would agree that, that's not easy to admit but, As a new user.....live and learn!
    Turns out some folks knew that this person was a scammer, but, by the time I found out, it was to late. Not only did I get scammed, others did as well.
    Therefore, I am requesting a thread to post issues you've had with such users (of course, providing proof to the scam) so that this does not happen again. Seems to happen to NEW members here! Kinda like, New members being Prey to these scammers. Having itrade points does not help cause the person who scammed me had itrade points!
    IMHO, there should be a "BEWARE of these USERS type section! Surely would help to know who's legit and who's not as well as help those who are legit make some extra bucks :confused:

    Hope to get some feedback on this!

    I agree with you... but I don't think there is a need for a "Beware of these users" section. Because if someone is not able to be trusted I don't think they should be a part of this forum.

    The proper way to alert members to a problem is via itrader. Itrader provides a quick reference to traders history rather than trying to scan an entire category and miss someone's post.
