I purchased aws account from someone recently and I got scammed with 120 usdt. Almost every seller available in BHW marketplace accepts crypto as payment. As soon as the payment is made they delete telegram chat and blocked me. Is there anyway to know if the seller is valid? I see too much scams here in BHW which makes me really sad, scammers you can do better in life.

That's frustrating! BHW can be a mixed bag! Verifying sellers beforehand is tough, but look for consistently positive feedback beyond just recent transactions and check if they have a long-standing reputation on the forum itself; newer accounts with glowing reviews should raise suspicion. Crypto payments make recovery very difficult, so prioritize building trust through extensive due diligence before committing funds.
 
Here are some short and practical checklist to know if an SEO seller is legit


✅ Green flags​


  • Shows real case studies (Search Console / GA screenshots, not rank trackers only)
  • Explains how they do SEO (no “secret method” talk)
  • Uses brand/domain-relevant links, not spammy lists
  • Offers realistic timelines (2–4 months, not days)
  • Has aged profiles + real reviews (Fiverr/Upwork/LinkedIn)

Red flags (walk away)​


  • if they 1 ranking in 7 days
  • Google stacking / 10k backlinks” as main offer
  • Refuses to explain link sources
  • Only shows Ahrefs DR increases
  • Uses Bitly, PBNs, or automated tools without transparency

Quick checks​


  • If they ask Show me one live site you ranked
  • Ask: What links do you build first for a new site?
  • Check if their own website ranks for anything

Rule of thumb​


If they sell speed it’s usually spam.
If they sell patience, they’re likely real.
