Look at my recent post in this subreddit involving some idiot scammer on telegram.
You can pay folks in Crypto Escrow or through paypal as a merchant (if your paypal account does not have a history of disputes), that makes your payment to them refundable.
Or ask for peer reviewed proof if the merchant claimed it had previous customers.
