with new green feedback system , even proven scammers are having green trust ratings under their username, and they can scam users again using their green trust ratings Sad

Not exactly, an user should not see only the 'trust score'  Roll Eyes but also check the user's history and use always an escrow if he does not trust the other part.
yes we know this but what about new users or newbies who was always trusting green trust users blindly
they think green is symbol of trust

Like this dope

Fooled by the nice color and now out of 0.7 BTC
this one has black, i have seen scammers in green
now its a lot of work for default trust members to spot the scammers and help the community

This happened earlier. I was giving an example how color can fool a newbie. In that case it is even more so as there was very specific rating warning against that very particular trade. Goes to show that they rely mostly on colors and hardly on the text.
