5.''Always make sure your payment method can be reversed if the service/product provider flakes. Don't send as a PayPal personal payment, don't western union.''

In my opinion paypal is ok..you can make a dispute...western is not recommended (you cannot ensure the money - in case something goes wrong)

Why are you bumping this thread and replying to random users?

I reply because people should know, that even someone pretends that is serious and reliable (like elance) can be scammed.

great post zen,

a lot of it is probably common sense but I am new and for other freshers this is very helpful as we learn the ropes,rather than making expensive errors

Sometimes people add you on Skype and you can't tell whether they are who they claim they are on BHW. This isn't a big issue now perhaps but it could pose problems later on, especially if trusted BHW members get their Skype accounts hacked into.

I haven't really been on these forums long enough to know whether this is important though, but if you do suspect something I suggest you request for a PM. Just a heads up.

In any case thanks for the tips!

I think that being recommended someone may also help when a person is looking to outsource. That way there may be more than only a relationship between you and the outsourcer.

I have deleted several of the recent, short, spammy posts
on this thread and I am now closing it to prevent further posts.
