Dispute @tigertigertiger vs @rankpro

[tigertigertiger]

Hey there,

@rankpro wrote me a DM because of a WTB thread I made. We talked over telegram and agreed on 200$ with 100$ upfront payment. He then asked 4 times for a new deadline, ghosted me in between for days while being online.
Never saw any results. He has my wallet address for the refund now

Thanks in advance

I'm a little bitt confused why he invested 97$ for a premium membership, just to get banned for 100$. People are strange.

I hope you were the only one he scammed. You might not have been.

Sorry for your loss, OP. But $100 for a life lesson is a bargain IMO.

A life lesson for what exactly? Paying 50% in advance is not something uncommon.

It isn't, yet, dealing with members that are relatively new to the forum has a certain risk, and paying with crypto has another.

Not saying you are to blame here, but I hope your spidey senses got a little sharper.

@roydan another premium member banned what you say now? I think now BHW should add some criteria to become premium member

Have you seen how many Jr. VIPs are banned for scamming?

This days are dark around here.

You don’t understand my point here buddy atleast. In jrvip member account must be 60 days old and 100 message but in premium they just have to create account buy premium and start spaming WTB and HAF.

The number of Premium members compared to those that end up in this subforum is fairly minimal.

I understand your point, I just don't agree with it.
If you stiff the requirements of becoming a premium member you are essentially making it redundant.
I think premium members as a whole add more value to to the community than the very few scammers detract from it.
This is my point.

Just curious, when is someone not new? Because this user was registered may last year.

You can try looking at this thread, as it might help you, but it's not absolute.

I should've said not that active rather than new, but I get the feeling you are just trying to pick an argument so I'm gonna leave it here.

If I'm mistaken, I'm sorry, but that's the vibe I'm getting.

Maybe I was a bit salty about the "life lesson". If you work in this shady corner of the Internet for as long as I do, you get scammed from time to time no matter what you do.
This industry depends a lot of trust. If I would have denied business with everyone that is not an established OG, be it on Fiverr, Upwork, Seoclerks or Blackhatworld I would have missed a lot of opportunities and a lot of money.
But maybe I'm a little bit too trusting.
