Yeah, like DD can track who is lurking on the forum. How dumb someone has to be to not understand the simple concept.

Sorry you got scammed, it's an expensive lesson. However, I would keep plugging away with your goals. The resources, ideas and information you can get from this forum can be worth it many times over.

You have to learn the hard way, bud. This is how the world works. Won’t gaslight you. You just joined May 2022, and you got scammed multiple times already. I don’t know what you are smoking, but I am new here as well. Never had random dudes messaging me. You just have to be careful. There is no perfect rule. People will always exploit something.
What is worst is that the world is full of people who knows that what they are doing is bad. Still, they opt to continue it. Those are the real monsters.

There are plenty of reputable sellers here who provide the service you are looking for. I tend to stay away from threads that aren't a few months old with feedback from the community as well as to check their previous post history. I've bought several services and methods here, one of which was a threshold guide and I was never scammed before. It happens, everywhere, even eBay. Just have to do a little research on the seller's prior activity in the forum

True enough. Even though I never got scammed, I tend to get better service with older threads than newer resold works.

When did i say to "pay through BHW"? I said you should've paid the scammer through your credit card through a platform like Payoneer where you could reverse your payment.
And you not being able to pay through BHW is the whole point of this forum. This is not Upwork/Fiverr. They take a commission out of your payment and pay their freelancers.
BHW is not like that. People providing their services here don't get paid by BHW.
Think of this place like your newspaper's Classified listing. People pay money to advertise their Products/Services. But if customers get scammed, it's not the newspaper's fault. All they can do is remove the Scammers listing.
(and that has been done, the scammer has been banned)

Good idea
@BassTrackerBoats is this possible?
When you go to press the "Buy Now"
An IQ test pops up, if you can't pass it, you cannot buy it !
Kinda like Locked Content offers right

Just came here to say that. I'd probably fail too.
And then you'll display it next to my profile "BlogPro - Failed miserably at BHW IQ tests # 32432 - Probably should have his internet access revoked."

Sadly I think you don't get the point. BHW does not offer any service. BHW is literally a forum. You know that, right?
People on the forum are the ones offering services. the visitors must be careful, this is the internet. We do live in a jungle, the internet is a jungle lol. How is that not obvious, I don't know
Upwork is different. Set up mainly for business transactions and the businesses are done on the platform.
If you met someone here, and you do business outside the forum, I think it's on you to do all your due deligence before doing the business.
BHW has done a lot to protect people and the rules of the forum make it difficult to scam but that dosent mean it can't happen.
However this will be a lesson to you going forward and other buyers.
Buy only from upgraded members alone. They have a lot to loose if they scam.
