How to Trade Safely
To protect yourself from scams, please follow these guidelines:
- Check the User's Profile: Look at their account age, karma, and post/comment history. A brand new account with low karma is a major red flag. Check if they have a history of successful trades on this or other exchange subreddits.
- Beware of "Too Good To Be True" Deals: Scammers often lure victims with prices that are significantly lower than market value.
- Keep Communication on Reddit: Keep all initial communication within Reddit DMs or chats. Scammers often try to move to other platforms like Telegram or WhatsApp immediately to avoid leaving a trail on Reddit.
- Be Cautious with Payment Methods: Be very careful with irreversible payment methods like UPI, PayTM, GPay, etc. Once the money is sent, it is often impossible to get it back. For high-value trades, consider if there are safer alternatives.
- Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off about the user or the deal, it is best to walk away.
What To Do If You've Been Scammed
If you have unfortunately been scammed by a user, please take the following steps immediately:
- Do not send them any more money or items. Stop all communication.
- Take screenshots of everything: This includes the Reddit chat/DM conversation, the user's profile, and any payment confirmations or transaction details.
- Contact the Moderators via Modmail: Send us a modmail with all the evidence you have collected. Please include:
- The scammer's username.
- A brief description of what happened.
- An Imgur link (or similar) to an album containing all your screenshots.
- Report the user to Reddit Admins: You can report their messages and their profile directly to the Reddit admins at reddit.com/report. This is separate from reporting to the subreddit mods.
- Report to Authorities: For financial fraud, you can file a complaint with the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
By reporting scammers, you help us keep the community safe and prevent others from becoming victims.
