Hey HF,

Losing money to a dispute or chargeback sucks. If you deal in the marketplace using non-reversible methods or digital goods, keep an eye out for these 3 red flags:

1. Massive rush to finish the deal: Scammers hate waiting because it gives you time to notice anomalies. If they are aggressively pushing to skip middleman verification, walk away.
2. Mismatched details: The email they use to message you doesn't match the payment email, or their Discord account creation date is less than a week old.
3. Refusing basic confirmation pm: If they won't send a simple PM on Hack Forums confirming their identity and the exact deal terms, they are likely an impostor.

Stay safe out there. What's your number one rule to avoid getting burned?

Another one to me is outside platform pivot, not fully a red flag but it's how so many people get scammed.
The moment you leave the forum's PM system, you have a higher chance of losing your paper trail.

Another one is a brand new account that somehow knows exactly which forums to post in and is speedrunning its post count.
