Default Member verfification checklist

Similar to Ryan's (hi Ryan) first post, here are some more/redundant, thoughts. They can't be stressed enough. Rarely a day goes by that I don't get PM's concerning verifying members and that is a good thing.

When you think you have received one of those scam PM's or emails -

1. Check to see if they are already banned.
2. Do they have broken/really poor grammar?
2. Check to see when they registered.
3. Check to see how many, and what kind of, posts they have made.
4. Trying to take money via a no refund method and in a hurry.

If they have been here for years with lots of posts, they aren't a troll/scammer. Anyone can still do a bad deal but those are telltale signs of the trolls.

KNOW YOUR TRADING PARTNER
Please always check with me, or another moderator, if there is any question whatsoever on someone's credibility.
