Western Union/Paypal/Escrow...safe ? - GSM-Forum

45PR1 · 05-31-2004, 14:34

I notice there are many people getting scammed in this forum. Maybe would it be a good idea to post here some useful tips and share experiences. Don't post sentences like : "pay cash in hand" because people are coming from all over the world in this forum.

Are Western Union, paypal, escrow or any other kind of payment methods safe ?

Is there any other way that just looking at the number of posts and asking in this section if he/she is a cheater or not ? (it's so easy to creat fake nicknames and answer)

This post is yours (if you are a cheater, don't post here :-) )

Western Union is safe but expensive for example you want to transfer 50€ you have to pay 10€ to the wu office 200€ 17,50€ and so on...

Paypal depends on the person cause you should change your password from time to time and its cheaper than WU

Western Union is safe, but for the seller only. If he is cheater the customer lost.
The credit cards and the check are very dangerous for the seller. He lost every month 20-30% of chargebacks, the customer don't lost, because have insurance.
