Question about banning

Not Recently Bumped
Mods will usually ban them instantly if they have made a new account to scam again. They can always check the scammer's IP

You as the buyer just needs to be careful and do some background checking
 
In most cases, and by most I mean almost all, Common sense and a little history on the person you're dealing with can be the difference in getting scammed or not.
We ban people so they can't accumulate rep and scam legit people. Avoid most of the no name low rep people who want you to go first and you won't have any issues.

Use a verified middleman and be even safer. Simple steps can go a long way.
 
Yes a scammer can change their IP address and a few other things to remain undetected, but this is why we have multiple levels of verification. Getting a new Paypal account and phone number is very time consuming and if the scammer is constantly getting banned and remaking accounts, they are obviously aren't going to try to get verified each time because they know they will get caught even faster.

For $3 there really isn't any good reason why everyone can't get verified especially if your buying or selling accounts regularly.

If you're dealing with a new member and they don't want to get verified just tell them you'll pay the $3 verification fee by either adding it to the cost of your purchase or subtracting it from the sale. If the person still says no, they are 99.999999999% a scammer. Very easy way to weed out scammers this way.
