Scamming is a problem how can we fix it?

[DarkKnights22]

Scamming will never be stopped. It can be slowed or hindered, but clearly, both staff members and users have no interest in doing anything about it.

Indeed, bust most of all, just use common sense lol

50% of smart people get scammed because they think they are smart and no one can scam them.[DOUBLEPOST=1571409637][/DOUBLEPOST]50% of smart people get scammed because they think they are smart and no one can scam them.

Solution: don't use MCM middlemen.

...unless it's me?

 

[Desert]

Why is that needed? Some prefer not to have one.

[Drubiz]

Let me give you a sprinkle of reality. You will be scammed. Trusted middlemen like ImPrank and Doggy Fanpage have scammed out and there was no way to know that. 95% of the time, you won't be scammed by a middleman. There's a risk in every deal.

Fraud wasn't really reputable, his group just shilled him to make him appear that way.

Well congrats to me I have 5 rep and been scammed off of $160 and 2 yt channels and a discord all adding up to a total of about $450 or so not exact.

Scamming is the biggest issue on mc market and I wanna find a way to stop it.

Maybe have a middle man bot that is safe to use like playerup?
Maybe have staff moderate deals like selling channels ect?
Make it a requirement for people to have a profile picture?
When banning someone Ip ban them?

What do you all think.

Never go first

TL;DR
1. dealing onsite is safest
2. if you deal offsite confirm the identities of everyone in the deal.
3. nitro scams exist. don't just look at the discord user's name/id and think they are who they say they are.
