⚠️Protect Yourself from Scams: Tips for a Safer Experience ⚠️

As our community continues to grow, it's crucial to stay vigilant and protect ourselves from potential scammers. Here are some tips to help you navigate safely:

Don't Send Money If The Product Is Not In Front of You • Be cautious when asked to send money to someone online, especially if it's for a transaction that seems suspicious or too good to be true.

Exercise Caution with Transactions • Be wary of engaging in transactions that feel dubious. Double-check the legitimacy of the deal before proceeding.

Check User Karma • Take a look at the karma of the users you interact with. While karma isn't foolproof, low karma could be a red flag. Consider it one of the factors in evaluating trustworthiness. Also note reddit engagement over time. We're they active 5 years ago, silent, then suddenly active just this week with comments spamming "dm me"? Probably a hacked account.

If You Can, Misrepresent Your Location • Scammers will always be about an hr away from wherever you are so it's accessible, but not convenient. If you say your in some random place, see how they respond. Chances are they are magically close enough to you to make the deal happen, but they will need a deposit to get started due to the distance.

Beware of Unsolicited Messages • Be cautious with unsolicited messages, especially those urging immediate action. Scammers often use urgency to manipulate.

Stay Informed • Keep yourself informed about common online scams. Knowledge is your best defense against falling victim to fraudulent activities.

Remember ⚠️ your safety and security are your top priorities. By staying vigilant and following these tips, we can build a stronger and safer community together.
