FREE TIPS: USING TRUSTED SELLERS ON NAIRALAND! by gigathon: 8:41am On Apr 28, 2017
We have already talked about the recommendations on how to spot scammers on Nairaland.

As a buyer/seller you must be able to identify a scammer by knowing the basic tricks they use, such as, profiles with missing details, suspicious amounts in transactions, information that doesn’t coincide, lack of posts, etc.

But what happens when you make a transaction with someone identified as a “trusted seller” and then they disappear?
Here are some advices:

A trusted seller isn’t always real

The first thing you need to know is that when someone seems to be a trusted seller that doesn’t exempt the person 100% from being a scammer. Sometimes the person wants to build trust between the other members of the Nairaland community, by doing small transactions, to then launch a big burst and disappear. The greedy scammers will make sure to engage in legit exchange, even with you for some period of time in order to earn your trust, and then they will jump to a higher transaction after which you will never see them again.

A good way to identify if the alleged trusted seller is real is by noticing if there is a sudden change in the quantities they negotiate. If they have been doing smaller transactions and then take an unexpected leap to a much bigger amount, beware. Investigate first if they have done this before with other members of the forum and try to get as many references as possible.

Another good sign might be the use of another trusted seller for the transaction. Getting wives, partners, and friends involved in the transaction is a possible red flag that you will be scammed and both users will disappear after the transaction is done. Again, the best thing to do is investigate as much as possible even if you have done previous transactions with the seller. The appearance of a third party is a warning.
