Preventing scammers

How do i know that when i pay for a gun on this site to somebody that i will receive it? or that when i send a gun that i will get one in return? im a little bit afraid to risk this? what should i do?

Ask for feedback.

There is also the option of using a 3rd party trader. This is when you and the other guy send the gun to someone who is trustworthy and they act as the middle man. Most proshops offer this service, and you can try to ask some of the mods on here, and even some of the older users would be happy to help you out. I know I would, but you probably wouldnt trust me either:D

get as much info on the person as possible. (home and cell phone # and address if possible. You could probably get his address if you got his home phone number)

One would assume he would be able to get his address if he is sending him stuff.

He might not be sending him stuff. You can do it through paypal (I don't thing you need to know the address of the other person for that)

k, thank you all

[wablez]

when he gives you an address always use google maps to verify its real.

[Mean-Midget]

yes that is true

One of the mods does third party trading, probably even more on request, I'd ask for someone to help you out. That's what I'd do if I was kinda iffy on the deal.

when im selling i always give my home number and address. You can verify that the address matches (assuming landline not cell phone) the number by going to 411.com and doing a reverse phone lookup. After that you can call them via that phone number and talk to them.
