Is everyone on BHW Scammers?

[klique]

You jumped the gun, didn't read the rules and went and bought a fake service from a non upgraded member, who likely was new himself. How does that make the rest of us scammers again? Reading the rules of a new community you're joining, especially one that you plan on conducting business on, should be common sense my guy.

Regardless, what has happened has happened. Learn from your mistake, and move forward.. what's the purpose in attempting to put down other people who had nothing to do with the situation? I get this is the internet, but that's not really a mature way of doing things. You were better off sharing your situation, expressing how you were upset, and you never know someone might of offered the service to you for free. While you claim were all scammers, some of these guys are actually stand up guys that will help out a stranger if they feel enclined to.

But hey, you're entitled to your opinion.

One numpty who does not read the rules and makes a bad decision (YOU) does not equal all members here are scammers. All you have done here is insult a bunch of reputable people...Good job.

Let's just say I'm in a very bad mood tonight, so my compensation has gone on holiday.
Right from the start, the moderators, and administrators openly state that there are precautions to be taken on this forum. Obviously, you didn't follow them, and now you're insulting us all?
You've just arrived here, respect the rules and if you have a dispute with a member, there's a section dedicated to that.
I've also seen your other posts, especially the one where you say you're going to comment on all his posts. Where do you think you are?
Do you have a problem with a member? Contact the moderators and administrators, and open a ticket in the appropriate section. Don't act like a child, we're not here to educate you.

My next transaction, the profile was made in 2018, they have the jr vip badge on the site, refreshed. I dont feel good about paying crypto now, nor any upfront. But they wont conduct the work without. Whats the happy medium? Third party crypto holding site like swapd does?

agreed. But now trying to work with legit sellers is virtually impossible.

Sorry to burst your "exclusive club" bubble but disputes are a thing here for a reason, even you, the """elite""" of the forum can be scammers.

So OP, never deal with jr vps either, as some of them are scammers as well.

Yup, kinda true. I don't understand what they are saying about "you won't get scammed by jr vip" - it's even better to scam with jr vip than without, that's why tons of people spam to increase their post count quickly.

The best rule to follow, don't buy here because no escrow system and if you buy, let them deliver first and then you pay, or no deal.

I don't know of many reputable sellers that would work for free. Reputable means they have done the work in building their reputation so that they can get paid for the work they are to carry out, and the buyer does not have to worry. A buyers worry is not going to dictate how and when I get paid for a service. Most people wont start work before getting paid. If a seller does not deliver then there are procedures for a buyer to follow to deal with that.

If sellers start to work for free before getting paid they often become the one getting scammed.

The solution is to work with people who are trusted and to do your due diligence before sending someone money, and when you're ready too be sure to have all aspects and expectations of the order laid out first. Things can still go wrong though, that's just life"!

Nah, I have enough experience with those so called "reputable sellers" - especially in the freelancing category. You will pay them and they are like "yeah, bro, tomorrow" and tomorrow it's another tomorrow and you can't even pressure them because they got the money already. A bit pressure is needed for people to work, it's the core of capitalism.

I did those mistakes in the beginning as well. I was like, I need that website + features and gave the guy $2000 and he cloned the website design, but not any features of it. Haha.

Never pay first. Exception is indeed super reputable people (ie. with a company and a real address and real people), but not some random jr vip guy on BHW, hahaha.

Also most people don't start work before getting paid? My freelancer.com client account has 300+ projects done, all safely done via their escrow system and none of them got money first

if you have been scammed please follow the dispute resolution process.

The lounge isn’t the place for calling out members.
