I am basing this on my latest experience of being scammed here. @My_Khaos has a scam report on the user @F4tal but edited it to reflect it being "solved" only to find out that the user did in fact scam him. I did my due diligence and reached out to the user only because on @F4tal's profile there was something along the lines of there being an open dispute (which I guess disappeared a certain amount of time after it was marked as "solved" - it was never solved, I think he just lied to @My_Khaos to prolong his stay here to scam as many people as possible). Had that not been there at the time, I would've thought this guy was legit, doing his boxing thing. There were other red flags, like this guy commenting on every fucking buyer's thread, clearly I was naïve in thinking he had pull or skill. It was an easy to figure out scammer now that I look back. Had the user @My_Khaos not been able to edit the original thread (which I've never seen), perhaps I could have gauged who I was dealing with. It's probably a silly suggestion but I figured it might help others determine if they should be doing deals with an individual given their history. I'm sure @CShelbyould have appreciated that too.
