I'd just like to give you guys some advice on how to reduce your chances of being scammed when selling something on HF.
Step 1 :
Don't put your skype in your thread / thread design what-so-ever.
I recommend doing this because anyone from HF can add your Skype, and make a deal with you and buy something and you will have no idea what the profile is at all.
Whereas if you don't put your Skype but you say in the thread "PM me for my Skype" you will have PM proof of them asking to add you on Skype, so you have some proof to fall back on.
Step 2 :
Don't make a deal over Skype without asking the person buying to send you their HF profile.
If they don't send their profile, block them and move on because they are most likely trying to scam you and trying not to get caught.
Step 3 :
Just have some common sense, don't be fooled by people on the internet.
Treat your business like you would if it was an in real life business.
If you have any reason to believe someone is going to try scam you, do NOT deal with them at all.
Always make sure you keep screenshots if the chat starts being a bit weird and you feel the person is sketchy.
Happy Selling!
