This Scammer Tactics Guide will take you through the various techniques of scammers, how they scam, how they act and why it is important on Escrow orders to extend the order if the product is not delivered within the auto-finalization time period. The scammer vendors are often scammin selectively buyers who are new in the market, in the darknet world or recently registered. They can become an easy victim because they don`t know what to do
-
A scammer can proclaim that the market`s wallets are not working at the moment / order system is not working and the only way how to purchase the product is to send money to the vendor`s wallet directly.
-
A scammer can misleadingly inform the buyer that the market charges too high order fees on bigger orders and therefore is better to make the order outside the market. Please take note, our market does not charges any fee on orders!
-
A scammer can invite the buyer to talk via Wickr, Telegram or Signal supposedly for faster communication, then they can easily convicts buyers to make a deal outside the market and make a payment directly to the vendor`s wallet.
-
A scammer can force the buyer to finalize the order before he gets the product into his hands. The reason for this can be f.e. the price of the crypto is too volatile, they need to pay for the product to their supplier. In addition scammers can reach out to the buyer they need additional fee on delivery sent to the vendor`s wallet (not market wallet). The shipping fee is already included in the price of the product on market while ordering.
-
A scammer can proclaim that he sells only bigger amounts on the market and smaller orders are made directly to the vendor`s wallet and outside the market. Please take note, make a dela outside the market means communicating through other channels than the message system of the market and without putting money into the escrow system of the market.
-
A scammer is actively answering and often quite fast before the order is made. After acepting the order the vendor`s communication is almost zero.
-
A scammer will quote unrealistically low prices of the products, so it is good to have overview of average prices of any product.
-
A scammer can ghost the buyer (pretend he was not able to be online to asnwer because of the serious reason) and this way wait if the buyer extends the order or not. If the buyer doesn`t extend the order the most probably a scammer will keep money and never send anything.
Always pay attention on the shipping detials, how long it can take to be delivered, depending on the origin country and the destination. The buyer can extend every order 48 hrs before the end of the auto-finalization, up to 14 days. The length of the extention can be selected in range from 1 day to 14 days as a maximum.
If after all the time is not enough, every buyer has right to create a dispute. Either to complain about missing order or just to extend the order more.
Please remember on Escrow orders, never let the order be finalized before you get your product into your hands. Always make sure you can extend auto-finalization in time (this option is available two days (48hrs) before the first auto-finalization of the order).
The Escrow system is here to protect the buyer`s funds while the order is on the way to you.
