How to smell a scammer!

Hello,

My name is John
I'm 19
From Australia

Well i've been thinking, And wonder the question How do you tell a scammer from a True honest person.

Well in that Case the Real answer is You can't

There is no way you can, But you can tell by hints and the way they talk.

Ok not mentioning names

Example:

My mum said she doesn't trust you, she said the account might not work can you send it first.

Pretty obvious, think of the Fact His 13, And uses his mum paypal.

That's so not going ot happen if my mum saw my little brother using her credit card. she'll go balistic.



Ok well here are some facts of a Scammer:

What i've learnt is there is little ways to prevent if you do go first

1) This is for account, money trade only (Give them 1-2 mins after the trade to give you the money, if not quickly change your password. May sometimes work as the Scammer would check the account first
2) If he does not answer in a time frame after you have given him the account then obviously his going to change the password.
3)MOST scammers are at the ages between 13-15 As they do not earn money. So please watch out

AGE does apply to.

Even a Guru i know Age 13 scammed one of my friends ( no NAMES mentioned)

A childs mind is Open, exposed to NO responsibilties thus will do anything for money. even stealing.



I do Physcology in University. Interputing the mind of a human being. And by doing facts i came up with.

1) The scammer would not think about what the account is but just want it ASAP
2) he would be willing to raise the cost of his purchase much higher than expected
3)Obviously there is no way of him going first
4)He would make possible excuses to Pretend he is going off
5)Hesitation of changing moods
And more


Well this is what i think a scammer is to my knowledge let me hear your thoughts

 

Think this would go in Runescape discussion area. Anyway the best way to detect a scammer is to ask for an official MM, they will always say no. Some say yes but say you have to find one and pay fees etc then when you bring in the middle man they quickly leave msn convo and block you or make an excuse saying they can't trade that day.

Simple way to avoid scammers = use an official MM.

 

tyson not necessarily because some people dont trust official mms because they are known to go bad at times

 

Scamming is stupid, that's why I don't like using the black market, all those little children try to do is scam. Sythe isn't meant for scamming, it's used for commuting and a gaming resource.

 

Well if they try to pressure you to go first or say they can do any type of payment 99% of them would be scamming.

 

Scammers smell like crap. Anyways,
most scammers are kinda obvious. They
want ot hurry the trade, are paranoid,
and disparate . They dont' wanna use
a mm either

 

Most scammers are just people who don't want to put in the effort to get money, ingame or in real life to buy it.

 

with a nose

 

Is this how you always type "Mr.University"? That was one of the hardest posts to read I have ever seen. Last time I checked you don't sniff people (I could be wrong though). Also those are some pretty big assumptions. Who says there Mom can't be involved in something like that. Also there are plenty of ways to make money at 13-15, most people are just too ignorant, lazy or mentally impaired to figure it out.

PS: Don't Fill out your job applications like this post.
