Transactions like this should be done using an escrow, any attempt to do dealings without an escrow may result in a loss of money. It happens a lot in the lending board, we see users default loans and even though the account is painted with red trust, the lender has no way of getting his money back. AFAIK, Igebotz is the escrow of the local board and should be involved in any such transactions if it is goin to be on the local board.
I've stated several times that the board will not be held liable for any loss of property, money using escrow outside of the local board.
• This us not an exchange board, so trust score is not visible here, this will mean that someone who doesn't pay much attention can easily trade with a scammer and lose their naira or Bitcoin,
• Without an escrow there's no level of protection. Why anyone go send first to an anonymous person here when your only guarantee us they should be scared of getting red trust?
I serve as the local board escrow, so I don't understand why we need to take our local business to the general board; aside from myself, we have some other respected members who can handle things. Any member of the community who trades with someone without reputation (a merits number is not the same as reputation) without an escrow is doing it at their own risk.
