List Of Scammers. Please Help! - Homicidal#9 - 07-28-2009
A stickie has been placed in the classifieds section, with Justin's approval, to keep track of issues like this for all of you to use. We will be watching it carefully though, just in case it were to get out of hand...take care,Tommy
List Of Scammers. Please Help! - travsall - 07-28-2009
Deadguy hit the nail on the head with an open black list, on paper this is a GREAT plan and would save a lotta guys time, energy, money and frustration, but in reality, it becomes the communist black list pretty fast. If someone is a week late, and the other party isn't exactly patient, then their name is submitted and can ruin a great reputation unjustly. It can also be used as a weapon, 'you better make me happy or I'll add your name to the list.' A bad deal is VERY different from a scam, we've all had enough of both to know the difference without me going into it, and most of the time it's just buyer beware, a risk we take shopping online, no ones fault, just one of those things. This kind of list can become a very slippery slope very fast, and get out of hand before anyone can stop it. Any warning list about other people is that way, however there are a LOT of merits to a protective watch list that can warn people about real risks, and if done properly it could really help cut down some of the recent surge of scam artists that seems to have cropped up, and I think that's what EA is getting at, not necessisarily a posted 'wanted' list but more of an inside who's who to try and slow these bastards down, and stop them from hopping around pulling the same crap. So if you have been ripped off by a member here, a genuine stole money or goods case, send EA the username through a PM.

It threw me off becuase the Original poster said he'd been scammed once, and then put one transaction in the "list" and it was a positive one.Why not streamline that first post, and then update it with subsequent postings? rather than one transaction per post. That way you can do the CNTRL-F search on a single post.. no matter how long, rather than "25 pages."Also, I assume this is to cover transactions on here that occur today or in-future, correct? not past transactions, or off-board transactions?(I wanted to discuss it here, so as to not ruin that thread with extra postings)

The good, the bad, and then the ugly. The reason why I didn't post my bad transaction is because that was a long time ago and that member has since been banned. Past transaction and off-board transactions can be posted in there as long as the person you bought from is a member here. Let's say for instance you purchased something on MM.net or the HMA, you could post a feedback of that person since he is also a member here. I also can't remember every single person I've dealt with on here so I only posted the one I just did a deal with and how that turned out.I also thought about streamlining the post and updating all names on the first post but then it would just become a Good vs. Bad List. This is a feedback type system. There should be posts about who you've dealt with and how the transaction went. Did it go extremely smooth? Did you get the item but maybe the shipping could of been faster? Etc. Etc. Etc.But to be honest with you; it's a work in progress and all things should and will be considered.
