How To Identify An Online Scammer by Resuscitate(op): 2:51pm On Feb 28, 2021
Hi everyone, this is my first time of creating a thread here and I created this thread out of necessity to seek for your help.

I have some payoneer funds I want to sell to an exchanger, though I'm yet to pick any exchanger since it's difficult to identify the legit ones, but the problem I want to resolve first before engaging an exchanger is how can I identify or verify that an exchanger is legit and isn't someone that will abscond with my hard earned money.

we all know the transaction is going to be a payoneer to payoneer transfer, while the person is going to pay me in cash, and should anything go wrong, there'll be no way for me to trace the exchanger's Nigerian bank account and seek for it to be blocked should he/she refuse to keep to his/her end of the bargain. So please, what are the things I need to do to verify the credibility of the exchanger before engaging in a transaction with him/her.

please, those of you that have exchanged payoneer funds before and it was successful should please help me out. Thanks in anticipation of your helpful responses.

There are many legit payoneer exchangers on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/5828664/currency-e-currency-market-deals-2020/802
They are the ones you should identify and trade with. If you are unsure of anybody use escrow. You will find legit escrow on that thread too just ask and don't trade with anyone without doing due diligence simply search their username on nairaland.

You just need to be careful with anyone you're gonna deal with here because it's really every difficult to differentiate the legit guys from the scammers as some of the scammers were once legit people. Try to get the person's personal information and if possible request for his/her bank account number even if the transaction is going to be on payoneer.
