Rep vs rep

[Yaya]

I have been here only a few weeks, but I have seen alot of this taking place. A reputation scam is basically a user frequently talking about his reputation, saying you need to send big amounts because his/hers reputation is ''trustworthy''. Remember - Reputation means nothing! There are many people making multiple accounts just to give themselves a reputation. There has also been several cases of users PMing other users asking for the so called 'rep vs rep', which means - when you ask someone for a reputation in exchange of your reputation been given to him. Do not fall for this - only reputate a user when you have traded with him/her, or if you he/her helped you in any kind of way. If you make a false reputation, in worst case scenario, the scammer can take benefit from this and use this as a way of making new users belive that the user is trusted enough to be sent large amounts to upfront.
Also, adding a false reputation will most possibly end in a warn or a suspension.
