People are getting scammed by fake Skype ID, etc (often by the same seller)

BST Owners are not including Direct Links to Skype or other 3rd party apps.
(if an app or chat platform do not use direct links for chat, then seller cannot use these)

BST Owners often type their contact over the sales landing page (an image), which should be forbidden.



If the seller has a contact other than an email address, BST can't go live until the seller fixes (removes) his Skype ID from the Image of his Landing Page.

Below the landing page, seller should list his contacts with links only. Example:

Skype: https://link


For anybody who might be confused, every chat app is offering a direct link for starting a conversation, so seller can't say: this is not my chat ID later.

Unfortenately, some sellers are using this as an adventage and they scam every 'x' person, or this helps them to 'live' longer on BHW, increasing their scam income.



BHW is still approving these nonlinked BST's and this simply has to stop.

Regardless of buyer's IQ, BHW should do their best to protect them.

Edit: And also protecting some sellers from other/random scammers who use their contact ID's.

Agree :)
 
Yes exactly,Sometimes I think these Impersonators are the BST Owners itself (Most probably not)

But when they give a link directly,It wipes out 99% of Scam Chances unless someone is really mad.

That is possible.
 
I do my best to start on DM, moving to skype only after the deal has been closed and continue the conversation exactly where we left off.

To clarify you're asking that we stop sellers from communicating with customers via skype, due to potential typo's when a user connects with them?

Currently, if you're unsure of a members details and want to communicate with them, via any channel outside BHW, then I recommend you ask them to confirm those details within the thread. However please note that if that communication goes outside of BHW then there is little we can do to verify the veracity of any order. We recommend using our conversations functionality for 1:1 discussion or posting your questions in the sales thread if those questions are of a public nature.

Use the platform you found them on and you know you're talking to the right person, the move off-platform to save a few seconds isn't worth the risk. We try and maintain a level of safety in the marketplace but sometimes common sense must prevail. You’d never walk down a street and throw money at someone that looked like a supplier, the same logic should apply online.
