A trusted member messaged me after I asked about buying btc and said we could do a transaction. They assured me because they were a trusted member and had a reputation to keep, that I could feel safer about getting my coin. I was paying pay pal and because I had no recourse I only wanted to do a fairly small transaction to test it. The trade went fine and the btc was delivered as promised. I did one or two more transactions over the next week or two and again it went smooth. So my question is, is a trusted forum reputation enough to trust someone? I’m at the point now where I want to buy a substantial amount and it is too much money for me to feel comfortable doing the same type of trade. What should I do or suggest to the seller? An escrow of some kind? Thanks for your help.
Even a trusted member sometimes can do bad things if big amount of money is involve. Always be careful in dealing to person you dont know because in these times were a lot of people need money , they can do bad things.
if you put a bait on a trusted person then you are adding risk to be scammed whoever the person is temptations are to be controlled but not every one can take it. there are lots of options where to buy safely then why risk? for me personally its a big no for me
