Sticky this?

[Slacker]

Maybe sticky this in the market place / scammers bay so new members stop doing deals off site and getting scammed?

When doing a deal with another FK member off site (meaning you contact them /vice versa be sure to have them send you a PM with the following information:

1. What you are giving (payment method / payment amount / trade)
2. What you are receiving (payment method / payment amount / items)
3. Contact information of the method of contact (aim SN / skype name / gamer tag)

The reason behind this is so that no one can claim there was an impostor, no one can claim it was not them, etc and there is proof right there that the deal was going on. This also makes it to where the deal is technically considered an on site deal so discipline can be handed out to any one who scams. I do this to every one in aim even staff.

How to not get scammed and if so have proof​

1. If someone contacts you offsite claiming to be someone have them PM you on here or dont deal with them. Ive been scammed because of something simular to this.

2. If a user has multiple negative reputations for "scamming" dont deal unless there is a trustworthy middleman or the user goes first.

3. Take your time when doing a deal if a user is trying to rush a sale have them wait until they have more time to do the deal scammers will most likely give up.

4. Dont deal with new members unless they go first or use middleman that is trusted and if your a new member dont expect for a active user to go first, they most likely will not go first.

5. If anything seems sketchy call the deal off and dont deal until you feel ready.

If any questions PM me or any staff.

Well I mean if you're gonna correct/make something more "high quality" then at least try instead of "typing it out fast".
