Do you guys not know how easy it is to just right click and edit the number on your pp/coinbase/bank account?
I just want to ask for the name and receive it. Don't want to have to go take a screenshot and jump thru hoops just to see a name I won't even like, especially if I'm on mobile.
Anyone intelligent asking for proof of funds for a larger priced item will ask you to send 0.01$ to confirm its your Bitcoin address, or to screenshot your paypal transactions as well as just the number.
If people were a little bit smarter, they would request proof of funds via iPhone or Android browser. Because it's harder (not impossible) to inspect element that.
When I ask for proof of funds I ask them to make it a .gif and of they can't do that either skype, join.me, or team viewer and if they "can't" do that he was trying to scam.
I am yet to ask for proof of funds. But if I were to sell a gamertag that was worth quite a bit I would certainly be very strict on who gets to know the tag.
