Nobody wants to waste time talking to a scammer. T

Are you asking a question or something? Not sure of the purpose of this thread?

I don't advise that - You would go thru that with a legit person, basically throwing at their face they are scamming but they may not be I'd delete you myself if that was the case, but that wouldn't mean that I was a scammer. You would then be wasting their time, I feel you need to rethink how you are interacting with people.

Also, some scammers are persistent, and will continue trying to convince you they're legit, or try some other trickery you may not catch while you have them added.

Hello @Digitalhax

Just by advertising a trade on CSGOLounge to sell your items/skins for "Real Money" (PayPal in this case) is enough to get targeted by scammers there. Even if you get a payment through PayPal that user can still easily chargeback the funds so you are not 100% safe just by getting the payment on PayPal as it is mentioned in your trades there but I am sure you know what you're doing.

Best practice (imo) is check out the user prior to adding them in the first place.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that +rep comments on people's profiles, no matter what they say, who posted them, or when, are absolutely worthless. You should never, under any circumstances, use +rep comments to to determine whether to trust someone. Traders often post them for non-trust trades, or without any reason other than being asked to, and scammers often either post +rep from their alternate accounts or pay people as little as a scrap metal each to write fake reputation comments on their profile. Meanwhile, any negative comments indicating someone shouldn't be trusted, get deleted, so you would never see any signs of a scammer that in profile comments anyway.

I highly recommend you read over this guide, written by a retired SteamRep admin:
