Maybe you can ask them if they can add someone the discussion who can vouch for them someone who is senior in thread and someone you trust?

You’re fine. Reassuring you 
It’s great that you speak up for yourself and are willing to solve problems. That is more than enough to show how much you care and it shows how trustworthy you are

Yes, thank you. Forgive me too.
Too much suspicious activity on the forum lately,and we’re all under the radar lol
Your problem is most likely that you don’t have SOL
But that’s not a topic of conversation in this thread.
Once again, please accept my apologies

Thank you for understanding my side, I assure, hence going forward all my trades will include someone senior (if they’re comfortable) and then only I will proceed ahead with anything.

I think they meant previous trusted traders. - regardless…
This is how things can start to get more complicated and risky by adding a middleman regardless of trust status. Also considering that staff members cannot always be here and if everyone starts doing this, you see how that can get more friction pretty fast
It also is not our responsibility as staff to do these kinds of transactions and if anything may be more as a volunteering support.
Up to you if you want to add a 3rd party that’s trustworthy
Like what’s mentioned in this discussion here for future reference
We need a more reliable, self sustaining system of operations. Hence starting with something like this thread and this discussion Trust Levels for Traders

Agree, was only suggesting besides the onus is with the person who wants to prove his/her trustworthiness, asking 3 NFTs first and audios and only after that s/he will send NFT will need that person to bring a person who can vouch for him/her else it is easier to be safe than sorry.
If the person turns out to be scamster then the person brought as arbiter is a potential scamster as well.

If anyone asks for telegram or whatsapp during trade or any such talks, immediately add them to list of suspicious people. They are likely going to ask to send audios or do something nefarious of that nature through the outside chats. That doesn’t 100% confirm that they will and sure it could be innocent but a good percentage of the time, it’s to do something shady. So I am just letting the forum know now, that asking to speak outside the forum during financial talks, brands you as a suspicious user.
Or even if you are a new user and jsut asking to talk privately in whatsapp or telegram.

@anon24540511 is 100% a scammer.
Please be cautious about new users.
They seem to be using uploaded audios/NFTs as bait. But they don’t actually have a wallet to transfer the NFTs so that’s when things go sideways for them.
He posted screenshots of his “audios” which perfectly match the illegally uploaded audios from a certain youtube channel (they’re named in a specific way) as his “proof” of ownership.
Don’t waste your time.

I think from now on, no audio should be sent, unless they can prove their purchase or trade

The sheer volume of new users that come straight to the NFT threads looking for audio.

Guys please dont forget to link this report thread and / or the NFT guidelines (depending on if it’s NFT related or Gumroad) as some people are honestly misinformed or misled and may have not done their research.
It’s a good idea not to be so quick in assumptions / judgement on labeling and still stand your ground on informing with reference no matter what situation they claim to be in. 'Guilt tripping’ should not be tolerated.
Especially when they feel that it seems right -because it appears to be done in good faith - to see sites with ‘free’ (it’s actually pirated. And originally is not free, so it won’t work.) uploads and then downloading from them to share.
Downloading content ‘for free’ off of ‘pirated content’ then attempting to trade or sell or freely share such things is not right / fair for everyone else who have put in honest work / money to earn them. That is considered a form of blackmarketing (prices rather than taxes) / bootlegging

Hmm, I have an idea and we can discuss to see if its fair or not.
Only users at the member level can do trades. I know some of you have been here a while and done many trades and are reliable without being ‘member’ and you can message me privately and I can perhaps raise you to member.
As for selling, I’d prefer not to limit new users from buying. I know that sometimes you got what you needed from an NFT and would like to sell and being limited to only members would limit customer potential. But perhaps new NFTs can only be sold to members.
It’s very likely that some of the people that are doing these nefarious things are unactive ulor new users that sre just popping up to buy or trade. It’s not always the case of course as we certainly have lurkers who are just trying to get NFTs. But there’s also the possiblity that it’s a trusted member who is spreading around these things. And I certainly have that in mind.
It’s very possible these counterfeit groups are all chipping in to buy high priced NFTs to then upload them/share them around.

Yes, please do that first. Give that courtesy. Not everyone knows our rules and it’s not safe to outrightly assume that someone is doing some nefarious when they might just not know how these things work.
