Basically in bhw we all know who is about to do scam but can't do anything. Telegram is heaven for scammers.
Also I really feel WTB section and Hire a Freelancer section need feedback show on profile section not after mouse hover.

You can actually help.
I report scammers on a daily basis here. I think I have a record of 30-40 Ban people who tried to scam

Yes, but if you go ahead of that in your mind and assume that client will chargeback, and if he does, someone will shoot a bullet in your head and you will die. Not lose money, your life ends then.
Then you start using your brain and figure out how you prove that you delivered and client can't chargeback.
He can try only. I am not interested in teaching people how. If you can't see how, it's not for you.
I agree.
All the Old School Black hat methods are dead. The other ones are exclusive that nobody shares. It’s not an underground forum selling illegal stuff. I don’t see why there is a dire need to allow sellers to retain total anonymity.
Fiverr has basic ID verification for sellers, and a refund system in place to actually protect both buyers and sellers too despite it’s really shitty reputation and even seoclerks has at least an escrow. There is ZERO consumer protection here. It's actually the only marketplace / freelancing site i've come across that seems to feel it's got absolutely NO responsibility when it comes to user protection whatsoever.
The quality control over the forum element of the site is equally bad. Again, the anonymity does nothing except encourage multi-accounting scammers and bots that know they don't even need to hide it here like most places - 'wow, amazing answer thanks'.
Just some honest user feedback.
My advice is to not commmit to any service where there's no actual need for a seller to even be in 'blackhat' mode and don't pay in crypto for ones that are, at least until there's an Escrow.
Is it entirely though? I feel anyone absolutely new to SEO and IM who will most likely come across this site at some point... for better or worse, will see some of these odd mickey mouse SEO packages with marvel and disney cartoons.
And anyone, esp those with no clue who doesn't think it's designed to dupe clueless kids may in fact think it's impressive that a company or person here can afford to pay big brand millions of dollars every year in royalty and licensing fees... for their cheap SEO packages. Well at least I hope they do pay for them. Otherwise I think besides IP infringement it's also false advertising isn't it? Suddenly it turns from '$197 SEO packages..? Hmmm. Probably not.' To '$197 SEO packagers backed by big, connected companies with plenty of money?' Sure, why not?
Do your approvals checks for things like licensing too? Can't really say a buyer is to blame enotrely if a Seller on the platform happens to somehow be illegally allowed to infringe big name IPs to create the impression that they are bigger, and their stuff more reliable and effective than it is too. And their seems to be a lot of them being backed by big brands on here.

If Joe Blow or Mary Bikini offers a product or service, we review the offering and if it matches what they want to sell, and it is done in a timely manner we allow it.
We don't judge if it is good or bad, we judge it what they offer is in line with our review process.
If it violates the terms of service we bounce it, if what they offer is not what they produce in a review we bounce it, if it violates the law we bounce it.
Infringing on someone's IP is generally a civil issue and not a legal issue and we don't deal with civil issues.
I've infringed a hundred times and made stupid money doing it and dealt with numerous C&D letters (heck, my username is one of those companies, thank you Tracker Boats for the house on the lake) but we don't do the protect anyone from a civil issue thing.
I'm on the marketplace approval team and I see the approval process, and if someone does not provide in a review what they advertise they get bounced.

I did write in the suggestion that anyone with a sales thread should not be able to hide their post history. I think what you wrote is a good way to check out the seller and totally agree.
Got told by the big man if you are not happy with the seller don’t buy from him. End of. Thread closed.
People keep scamming and the world keeps spinning.

OH really sorry to hear that. Sounds like you never met an experienced seller here.

I know you're trying to check if a seller is legit, but this itself sounds like a scam to me. Why would someone want id vid from me? What they plan to do with it? Maybe they want to record it and steal my identity, do illegal stuff in my name, cause me trouble? I had a prospect like that once on linkedin, I told him to fuck off, sounded like id theft attempt to me. That was on a profile that had my real name and photo (obviously, linkedin).

Some products may be considered trash to you
But that's someone else's treasure
May not work for you doesn't necessarily mean it's a scam
Sometimes, it is your own interpretation that leads you to believe something than what the product really is.
Misleading marketing strategy doesn't mean it's a scam
"Premium" backlinks doesn't mean it's too notch SEO service.
... Nvm, some people would just never understand due to their narrow point of view/already made up minds
