How to prevent being scammed Buying gold
Always use a MM (MiddleMan). The best MiddleMans's are the staff of OSBot, or trusted members of the community
Always make enough evidence when you are trading. Are you having a chat with the seller/middleman outside OSBot, on skype for example? Then record the whole conversation. Always record the trade it self as well, to have enough evidence if you are getting scammed. To record things on your computer, you can use programs like Hypercam.
