Staying Safe
When making or replying to HAFs, please be aware that Black Hat World offers no guarantees about the OP or the freelancers responding to a thread. To make sure that you stay safe, please consider:
- using an escrow service
- conducting a background check
- using a payment method with strong buyer protection (i.e. paypal - not using friends and family)
- making sure the communication stays on BHW in a DM so you have grounds to start a dispute if things go sour
For more information on staying safe, please read our thread titled, "Avoiding Scams & Staying Safe On Black Hat World".
Above all, use common sense. If you are not happy with an agreement, inform the other party you do not wish to continue before you commit to providing or buying a service. If you feel you have been ripped off or a transaction is not conducted properly, please post a thread within the Dispute Resolution forum. Make sure you read the Dispute Resolution section rules first.
