September 20th, 2008 EnhancedPixels Posted in Guide, Online, Regular Posts, Security |

Making transaction on the internet is nothing new, but scammers are not a new thing either. There are some ways to protect yourself from scammers, but you should never buy anything from someone you don’t trust. Here are some things which you may do:

  • Buy from established auctions like eBay and only from people who have a lot of positive feedback. Most of them would not be willing to lose their reputation in order to scam somebody once.
  • Do not use egold or other “junk” type of payment, but rather use PayPal which usually offers protection for the buyer.
  • Don’t buy anything really expensive from someone who doesn’t have good reputation.

    • As long as you adhere to the guidelines above, you shouldn’t have that many problems.
