ABOUT Scammer Awareness

It's out there.

There's a good chance you or one of your friends has been scammed, almost scammed, or have seen other people be scammed before. I myself got scammed out of $100 on paypal, just because I didn't check their Steam Rep. Yeah, it's a big mistake and it's a must for paypal transactions. I checked to see if there was a way to get my money back by doing a chargeback, but no such luck since my $100 was sent as a gift. There were other methods tried, but all failed. There was one left that lingered though, talking to the scammer and making him give the money back. Unlikely, but worth a try. To make a long story short, we asked him for the money. I didn't want this guy to keep taking innocent victims' money (he had quite a few victims), so I decided it ended with me. The FBI got involved and froze all of this paypal accounts. He agreed to give the money back to me. There's your little backstory to this group, I don't want any of you to lose your money like this, or even have to go throught that process like I did.

By joining this group you will have no marked scammers on your friends list. You will check a person's steam rep before doing ANYTHING with them. If anything seems fishy.. don't do it. It's not worth losing your money over. Even if their prices are ridiculously low.

i hate to be the devil's advocate, but as much as scammers piss me off nobody will ever be able to completely stop them :|

there are already several measures in place to help prevent/make aware but it still boils down to being human vs human. our minds perceive things a certain way and tell us to act often without hesitation or second thought. scammers are honing their skills at every attempt, be it success or fail, and are gaining experience to edge the gullible mind.

that said, taking a stance is great and i cannot disagree with your motives there. in my perspective as long as one more person is aware and able to prevent themselves from losing then i guess this group and/or idea is indeed an effective one.
