Yeah, something needs to be done to let the old threads (older than 2 months at the minimum) die.

Wait untill you get caught and then we'll see your opinion change.

Trade me is as near perfect as it can be. Just leave it as is.

310660 2006-01-31 02:33:00 I have found in my experience that 90% of international traders are NOT genuine.

"I need you find out the shippings to Nigeria with DHL courier. When the auction arrive I will deposit the monies into you credit cards. I need you credit card number for depoist of the moneys with western union when the item arrival."

310661 2006-01-31 04:56:00 SCAMME are bowing to pressure from the authorities to do something positive about the epedemic of SCAMS on SCAMME.


Expressions like SCAMME (and TELESCUM) are a poor substitute for cogently reasoned argument. If that's the best people can do to express themselves, they'd be better off becoming preachers, where all their thoughts and words are pre-scripted; or falling under a train or something.

The internet is a jungle, but it was made that way by its users, so the users are to blame, not those who try to provide a service. Trademe is successful enough to prove that it is bigger than the scamsters and the moaners & wingers. Its success is driven by people who are aware of the risks but are savvy enough to take adequate precautions.

People have to be pretty damned gullible (or greedy) to fall for most of the scams anyway, if it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't.
