    If you have any ideas or experience how to protect from scammers please add them to this thread.

    My advices for sellers:

    1. Check seller's nickname in google;
    2. Check seller's email in google;
    3. Check seller's reputation in DP;
    4. If seller sells only in bulk, order at first just couple coupons for test;
    5. Check seller if he gives 2 or 3 times lower prices for bulk purchase;
    6. Never use Wester Union transfering the money;
    7. If you were scammed, dont think that Paypal dispute will be allways won by you;
    8. If seller asks you to add him tos skype, after you add him check how many contacts he has in there, if he has couple contacts that means he is changing the skype nicknames often.

    If you were scammed you can fill the form at FBI Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) www.ic3.gov.

    Only buy from members with good reputation. Never buy someting from noobs unless you pay after getting the service done.

    Kind regards,
