How to go about it?

[Mr. Pull]

How do I go about finding out if a source is legit or if it is a scam.
I diddnt see them on the scammer list and was wondering how to go about finding out their reputation.
This will be my first mail order and would like a little profesional
advice. I just cant make that long drive to the border anymore life has got too busy.
Dont ask for the name, I will not post it on this board.

I am thankfull for any help.

You should probably e-mail a MOD. Just remember every source turns scammer eventually. They either take your cash and then post they got busted and will repay you and then this happenes and then that happenes and before you know it you just donated some cash. Wait till you have the time and take the drive ,do the transaction and leave with your gear.

SOURCE OF INFO

1. Obtain your source that needs checking,

2. Do a little leg work yourself first. Email the source first and ask for his references. He should be more than willing to give you these. If he doesn't, find someone new.

3. Once you have the email addresses of the references, stop, don't just email those addresses.

4. Find the boards that these guys post on, chances are that they will either be Vets and or Mods.

5. Check the addresses of the ones that the source gave you and the ones listed in the Mods and or Vets profile.

6. Whatever account that the reference has, you get a corresponding one. ziplip to ziplip, cyber-rights to cyber-rights...etc

7. Now your ready to check on your source by asking these references..

8. Once your done all that but you don't really know the references that well, then go to a MOD or a VET that you trust and ask about these references and the source.

Chances are that the guys that you trust will know at least the references, if not the source also.

BUT DO THE LEG WORK FIRST.

An example of what you should email your friend that you trust MOD or VET:
Make damn sure that you trust them!

Hey(Mod or Vet)


I've be checking out
[email protected]
He gave me these guys as references

[email protected] and
[email protected]

They said that the guy is good to go, what do you think?



MAKE SURE TO HAVE A SECURE EMAIL

Hey thanks for the info guys, I will do the legwork and find the credibility of this source.
If they are it sure will be a load of my back, that run to border is a stressfull trip. If its a scammer Ill just keep on hunting.

Thanks again,
