Thank you.

Common Questions

Why do people scam?
Well, one of the main reasons is that some people need the money, ether if its bills, debt, or just to buy something they want.

How do I report scammers?
(Will be explained later in the post) If you are on a site, tell an Admin or a Moderator, they will handle it correctly. If you are using PayPal, file a dispute or contact there hotline and tell them your situation (1 (8 221-1161) If on a email, please visit the site I will link later in the topic. If on any other, PM me.

Can I report scammers?
Yes. Later in the post I will further explain how.

When I report scammers what happens?
It depends on how, where, and who you contact. If you contact the right people about the situation, you will
get results.

How to detect scam
(This will be regarding TTG)

The easiest way to detect scam is follow the golden rule, No Proof. Not Real. Some other ways are:
-Check the email. If the email dosnt sound like a person's name, don't trust it. Ex. "[email protected]"
- Make them show proof. If they don't, THEN DONT BUY, it dosnt matter who it is, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.
- If the seller says "shop is moving" or any other excuse.
- The seller tells you its "low risk" or "no risk at all."
- If the seller joined within 2 weeks.
- If the seller how a low rep.
- Check out his/her recent Topics and posts
- Prefer to buy from "Trusted Seller's"
- WARNING- people will steal "proof" videos from legitimate sellers, so please be careful.

*This does not apply to all Members and Guests.*

How to report a scam
Reporting the scam is very important and needs to be done right. I will list several sites and under them I will tell you how to report a scam if you are on that site.

Why not to scam/what could happen
This section is about why not scam someone, and what could happen to you if you did. This will be brief. So. If you scam someone(taking the money and not granting them what they thought they were getting) you could be in jail, debt, arrested, go to court, and get fined. It dosnt really matter how much money it is, it is still a federal crime. So please, do not scam.
