1️⃣ Never trade with someone who isn’t authenticated .

2️⃣ Never trade with someone who doesn’t have a long and good AND RECENT trade history.

3️⃣ Never trust anyone on a proxy / tor / vpn / vps. if they don’t want you to know who they are, where they’re from, etc., you don’t want their business.

4️⃣ Anyone with the words 'btc' or 'bitcoin' in their name is automatically suspect

5️⃣ Never lend bitcoins. you will probably never see them again. As Coolio- used to say "Loans are a gift".

6️⃣ Don’t trust anyone from Argentina or Brazil; or Russia or Ukraine, etc.

7️⃣ Don’t trust anyone from Florida

8️⃣ Don’t talk about your money, worth, or wealth

9️⃣ Don’t leave large sums in shared or online wallets (or other online games or services)

1️⃣0️⃣ Encrypt your wallet. if you keep backup copies, encrypt the entire wallet file in a second layer of encryption (most contents of wallet are not encrypted)

1️⃣1️⃣ If someone is scammer tagged, don’t give them the benefit of the doubt. it might feel weird to consider someone guilty until proven innocent, but it will save your coins.

1️⃣2️⃣ High yield investment programs (HYIP) or loans are pretty much always scams. think about it. if it sounds too good to be true

1️⃣3️⃣ Never let someone control your computer (teamviewer scams). Don’t install anything suspicious on your computer (trojans, viruses). Ideally have a clean dedicated computer for your transactions. Wipe that computer regularly.

1️⃣4️⃣ There are no tricks to avoid chargebacks on paypal, credit cards, moneypak, dwolla, banks, etc. some services might be harder to chargeback, but nothing is immune.

1️⃣5️⃣ People with good reps can turn bad or get in a bad spot. having a good rep does not mean they will never scam.

1️⃣6️⃣ Break up large transactions into smaller ones, preferably with multiple people

1️⃣7️⃣ Never trust a man who β€œjust moved” to Mexico (or Costa Rica, offshore, tax havens, etc)

1️⃣8️⃣ Don’t trust someone who can’t speak proper English or your language of choice. this may sound classist, but your money is on the line trade with professionals or reputable people

1️⃣9️⃣ It’s ok to demand to see someone’s ID, a webcam photo, or other info to inspire trust. get their phone number, email address, address if you can. you can’t get legal help with a scammer if you can’t find them.

2️⃣0️⃣ Don’t trade with someone you can’t press charges against or that is geographically inconvenient for you to show up at their house.

2️⃣1️⃣ Get it in writing. it’s easier to state your case and enforce an agreement if it’s formalized. a chat log is ok, a gpg signed piece of text is better. spell out the arrangement, avoid ambiguity, include specific dates and times,amounts, etc.

2️⃣2️⃣ Don’t trust fast talkers, sweet talkers, smooth talkers. don’t be swayed by emotion or inability to think. a good deal is rarely time sensitive.

2️⃣3️⃣ If someone gets agitated when you ask questions, they were probably trying to scam you

2️⃣4️⃣ If you meet someone face-to-face, meet in a public place. bring backup. or protection. your best bet is a crowded coffee shop or bank lobby. if you’re carrying cash, deposit it in bank immediately or at least make sure you’re not followed.

2️⃣5️⃣ Many people offer escrow. use it. BUT ONLY IF YOU TRUST THE PERSON OFFERING ESCROW.

2️⃣6️⃣ Pay your taxes. it’s better than getting ass-raped in jail

2️⃣7️⃣ Don’t trust gamblers, addicts, or people who are constantly broke

2️⃣8️⃣ Beware trailing β€˜ or ` or _ characters in names

2️⃣9️⃣ 5 is not a good rating. 10 is not a good rating. 20 is a barely passably good rating. Don’t let someone tell you they are "highly rated" when they aren’t. And revisit rule #2 about LONG TIME ratings

3️⃣0️⃣ Someone buying just to build ratings is suspicious. this goes for the OTC, btcjam, or anywhere else.

3️⃣1️⃣ Don’t use paypal. come on. people tell you this all the time. and for a reason. it’s easy to get scammed by people using paypal. and it’s easy for paypal to freeze your assets and hold your money for 180 days. [same applies for ebay]

3️⃣2️⃣ You will eventually hear someone say β€œcome on, it’s not like I’m going to scam someone for just $___”. yes. someone would scam for that amount. don’t fall for it

3️⃣3️⃣ Don’t trust anyone on bb.sky. why are these assholes so frequently scammers? I don’t know. but they are.

3️⃣4️⃣ People with non-random X ending their name are highly likely to be a scammer. Have you ever noticed that everyone with names ending in a random x is highly likely to be a scammer? "freefox <– non-random", "thetruthx <β€” random". Also, framing x’s are not so random "xFBASTAGEx <– not so random"

3️⃣5️⃣ Unsolicited messages/spam/requests to trade are almost always scams.

3️⃣6️⃣ Trust your gut. if someone gives you a bad vibe, there’s probably a reason. be safe rather than sorry

3️⃣7️⃣ Set up both gpg and bitcoin address authentication in OTC. if you lose one you won’t lose your account and reputation
