Watch out for a Scammer(s) on the Board!

It sucks that people continue to go through this. Protect yourself, pay the extra for G&S, if you send F&F to someone you don't know, you might as well mail cash in an envelope.

Just curious, does anybody at least try to check N54 references before going through with larger BST transactions?

If someone asked me for a hobby reference (or references) because of a large transaction, I wouldn't be offended. To me, it's the other person being cautious and smart.

What do people think is the best way to conduct business in the BST? What would be considered the "best practices"?

I recently closed a 4K plus transaction with a long time member who I haven't done business with, as a precaution I messaged Leon to confirm good standing, I hope he did the same with me.
