If it happens to you it's you're own fault for believing the nonsense. Most of the time middle mans work depending on how legit they are, I know a couple people that I have had. And what I do is tell my guy to buy it on ebay that way I have to give it to him. Also if someone says "you go first" just try to fix it and find a legit way or just don't take the risk. The only people you can trust are people you know so don't take the risk.

If someone puts to post about it to make everyone aware of it, they can.

"If you get raped it's your own fault, you were the one that was walking down the street alone at night. You didn't have a ride? You could have fixed it and found out."
Pretty much the logic you are using. It's not their fault. How can you even say this. It's users that are desperate for a certain thing so they trust the individual. By no means is it "their fault"

I could not disagree more, in no way is it similar. Getting scammed is 95% the persons fault. 5% the other for even trying it.

No offense Mickers but that's not true. The user Hybs for example has two wall posts worth of "good reviews". Sakho was highly knowned among the Fifa section. For a new user that doesn't know the ropes yet, this is a credible enough person. So they go about the transaction only to find out that they were wrong. So for us to turn around after they've been stripped of their money and tell them "sorry but it's your own fault" is just ridiculous.

Well technically speaking, most of the times people are scammed, they're in breach of the site rules for buying/selling coins etc. So it's their own fault in the sense that they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
However it is certainly no more there own fault than the person that scammed them. Far as im concerned people that scam for such small things like coins or even little amounts of money are just scum and quite frankly sad/pathetic.

People should just avoid trading on forums etc, and just use trusted sites for selling/buying. Saves a lot of hassle, and saves posts like this being around.

Just close the thread. It's done nothing, but spark nonsense debates.
