How to stop SCAMMERS *********** EASY *****************

[Zab]

infractions should be given to anyone mentioning paypal, dealing with a trade, in the chatbox or in a thread.
so many infraction results i a temp ban, with perma ban consideration.

if people PM and bubble about paypal, its on them

but i think PO should be firmly against paypal n poker trading

Um, this is pretty much what we do now that you don't like.. "If people trade outside the marketplace, it's on them" but it's ok when we're talking about paypal?

See my point?

We are against ppl going outside the system, and loaning in market place, you guys just do it anyway.

There is another option, but it will cost YOU THE USER.

There's a system in place on my other site Ownedcore.com where traders can verify their identity. You would have to pay XX # of points do this feature, but do it once and you are good to go.

Scammers probably wouldn't go through the hassle... +if you agree to do it, both you and the person you are trading with will have access to the information (name, phone #).

I'm all for this. You're right, most scammers aren't going to want to spend something to get something.

I'll add this, but like I said..it will cost you 1000-1500 pts to get this done

I think those who are serious about trading in good faith would consider the points a small price to pay. New users will find it cost prohibitive I'm sure, but then again this isn't a trading site rather it is a poker site that should accommodate trading ONLY as a courtesy to those whom have put in time here.

Bottom line ZAB, You have to have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Blatant scamming. I saw a thread in here the other day, a scammer was trying to get reinstated so he could do more biz. The guy ran off with some dude's money and blamed it on Drugs. The simple fact that this guy was even getting a chance to state his case made me want to throw up. These crippled dogs have to be put out of there misery.

im all for stopping scammers but i think insta banning ppl for mentioning paypal or infracting them is just plain retarded. i could post my transaction history from paypal and show you thousands of dollars in trades from ppl here on pokerowned involving paypal. NOT ONCE have i ever been scammed or have i screwed another member using paypal. i just trade with longtime wellknown members.

furthermore i like the idea of people adding screennames during a trade. ive mentioned this before. if someone scams then we should get their poker accounts banned. screw being banned here. ppl dont care about that at all. proven that its easy to just make a new account here. you take away their way to make money from scamming(POKER ACCOUNTS) then they will be screwed for a little bit. at least til they move or whatnot.
