Title: On guard in the marketplace
Post by photojoe on 11/09/10 at 08:48:32

Just a reminder to my fellow Savages to keep our guards up when buying/sending money in the marketplace. I've seen it happen more than once in other forums I frequent. People transfer money to newbies with items never to be seen. On one photo forum I visit, more than 10 people got burned by one person. I sat, watched and warned. A few took heed, and those that didn't got burned for hundreds of dollars.

Not directing this at anyone in particular. Just a reminder to remain vigilant. If in doubt, walk away. Never do a money transfer to someone you don't know, use a CC instead.

Sometimes it is a long setup for a few hundred dollars. I got lucky on this board a while back when the scammer somehow missed claiming my payment. Others were not so lucky. Just be careful every transaction.
