Never got scammed...Honesty pays you more scammer just realise this, if you are good enough to fool someone then you will be really good enough to earn a dime with your work. Be honest, say the truth half of your problems will be over. Actually the seller or buyer will be impressed , that you actually had the guts to say the truth. They will even forgive for a mistake that you had committed.
I thought I had been scammed once. It only took that person almost two months to do something he said would take one day. If I would have not been watching that thread he probably never would have finished his part of the deal. Sometimes I think it is hard to decide when new people are starting up a service if they are good or not. I find it difficult because I myself am pretty new hear.
I have never been scammed on DP...I guess I am lucky I hope I'll be like this as well in the future ...
