Blueprints for Scammers

[siamdao]

Just an observation and wondering what thoughts are.  Many of the postings in this discussion are made by sellers who either have been or feel as though they will be the victim of a scam of some sort or another.  They go into great details regarding the history and outcomes of such transactions.   I sometimes worry that there are users who regularly browse these topics to get new ideas for how to perpetrate their next scheme.    I know it's important to share ideas and such, but wondering out loud what the potential downside of it is.

Sorry, with ebay you dont have to practice scamming.  I buy a 800 dollar item from you.  I say it is not as described.  I send you back a rock, I get my money, you are out 800 bucks.  I do it 2 or 3 times, make 2 or 3k and Im happy.  I go to create another account, rinse, repeat.  There is no magic.  That being said, 99.9 percent of the people out there are honest and would never do it.
