    This is worst, now partnership section will need premium membership. If some one do the fraud , you are not going to refund the money. If you are ,than it is ok. Otherwise it is worst. Can you please explain?

    I know ,in the last few months there are a lot of scammers increased here. But this is not the way to solve the problem. Premium member just create thread but what the guarantee ,they are not doing fraud like white_powder or 121beale121 etc If i am investing the money , i am responsible. You are preferring me to use Escrow service which is not cheap, please try to understand.

    As well i can see 121beale121 is banned previously but now it is open? Where he has done the fraud with me? I do not know ,whats going on?

    I don't know why you are expecting DP to fix scumbags. There will always be scamming scum and if you are making investments then you are accepting a risk of loss. Stop by any bank or other "legitimate" financial institute and they will tell you that even their so-called reputable schemes carry a risk. You may as well bet the money on football as this is probably what some of these people are doing with it (or buying drugs, getting drunk, going to brothels, and so on). Maybe some are legitimate, but it's down to you to do the due diligence and a very thorough one at that, too. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.

    Think about your approach to how you manage your money. Look "closer to home" for how you can invest it - education, certification, pension fund, savings, buy a business, buy a property, and so on.

    That was a very accurate description of our local politicians. I had no idea that you were familiar with my part of the world.;)

    They are the same the world over. :D Maybe the OP needs to view these people (offering investment services) like politicians. They will say and do anything for your vote (in this case: money).

    There you have it, wise words. The management at DP cannot be expected to hold your hand. Buyer beware and if not then the cost of the transaction falls on you.

    I am very sorry but I haven't understood what OP is trying to say
    To create a thread in the partnership forum, a member needs to be a premium member- I get this part

    Now, whats wrong with it and any implications
    Am I missing anything?

    Bottomline is that Digital Point just gives you the PLATFORM to BE ABLE to invest your money. They do NOT hold your hand or oversee the risks and downfalls that come from you TAKING THE RISK of investing with whomever. It's not their job, nor their responsibility to do so. If you don't like it Humtuma, then don't invest, simple as that. You also have it easy as I deal with REAL investments as well. Not just those where you are "protected" with Paypal. I deal with investments where if I invest 10 grand, and the investment goes sour, there IS NO recourse, it's gone. So be happy that you have paypal as your "mediator" if you will and do not blame Digital Point as they have nothing to do with anything. Digital Point does NOT support fraud nor anything illegal but Digital Point is NOT the law so you can't expect them to be. All they can do is ban someone once in a while if they see fit. That's about it.


    Thank you.

    I feel that apart from being a premium member, there should be a condition on number of posts (more than 300)
    Of course, it doesn't prove much on their intentions but can avoid newbies who are just registering on DP and getting a premium member to hatch a planned scam
    Its a little difficult to get your count to 300 (which takes some time and given strict rules of spamming on DP, they will get banned if they deliberately try to spam)
    Just my thoughts

    I think that's a good idea but 300 might be a little much. Perhaps 75 posts. Because even 75 posts on here can take a good month if you are actually contributing. OR/AND a length of time you NEED to be on the board before you can even post in the parternships section. Maybe like 4 months as well or something. Just throwing ideas around.

    Agree,
    Right now the cost to scam someone is just $25/mo which is not really fair :)

    Those who want to do fraud. They can find any method to do. DP nor me, nobody can control it. If you remember, Riche_FNC is having the premium membership but now he is in the fraud list. DP is also helpless.

    I think before posting in partnership section, he/she must have the domain name which (who is) should be seen publicly and must be verified with DP.

    Find the right people to invest in and only invest what you are willing to lose.

    I think people here and on other forums think when they invest money they will make it back no matter what, but something investments go wrong YOU CAN LOSE MONEY. If any ask you to invest and they say you will 100% guaranteed to make money then they are lying unless they are going to pay you out of their pocket.

    It is very hard to find right person. If a person want to do fraud,he/she can do later also. Money changes everyone mind.

    That's precisely the reason you should do utmost research before investment (and gather real info about the person) and use the protection provided to you by financial institution and make use of it when needed

    Protection from credit card companies is also a nice thing.

    I have an idea. If possible please hide this section from guest and new members(if they have premium membership also). This will help to reduce scammers.
