How do I avoid scams?

Advertise on BHW
Scammers will give you the easy way to part with your cash. People who are legit, won't put any pressure on you, and will provide safe payment details (not crypto) and will have good feedback from established members. The problem usually is the noob that hasn't learned not to avoid these venus fly traps, and instead goes running round like a headless chicken, trying to pay random people as much money as possible to abuse the platform they are working on. Be it facebook, adwords, open ai credits.

They think "if I can just pay someone random a few hundred or thousand, then I'll be rich soon!" This is the first thought in every one noobs mind that parts with their money to abuse a platform.

When you've WORKED online for long enough, you soon learn to spot these scams a mile off. As you get them in all your dealings at some point. Be it spam virus emails, or fake sites or fake telegram links whatever.

You don't want to get scammed. Don't part with your money then. Go make money on youtube as one example, and get the money flowing in a positive direction.

Offer them to take the payment using legit sources like Paypal or escrow. Usually scammers doesn't accept them and push you towards crypto. Because you cannot get the money back once you send it in crypto.
 
Use bhw pm as a communication medium.
 
As one of the BHW team members handling disputes, please for the love of all keep your communication on BHW. IF you did your due diligence and it still goes sideways, you can still try to get your money back.

Oh, and if it appears too good to be true, it usually is.
 
Mostly they are people who ask you to do deals on TG and then ask for large crypto payment(s).
 
When you ask for proofs and vouches:
scammers in general will say ''I'm on BHW for a few years and had never any problem'', ''I'm a premium member, so you can see that I'm allowed to sell and I'm a reputable seller''.

When you ask for an Escrow service:
scammers in general will say ''we can use this one (than he offers a completely unknown service)'' or simply deny to do that using some random excuse like ''I had hundreds of customers on BHW before you and nobody asked me for it, so I can't accept it''.

not really - I would suggest to go for legit websites and services if you earn really hard money. You must use some Mid escrow platforms.
 
if he's not an upgraded member, tell him to fuck off
if he only accepts crypto, tell him to fuck off
if he doesn't agree with the usage of an escrow service, tell him to fuck off
if he doesn't want to provide the service before paying, tell him to fuck off

What if he's a upgraded member but only accepts Crypto. Lol. I think Crypto also protect sellers as well. Because some people will take your information or service then want to try and get a refund. So this a double edged sword.
