Avoiding fradulent buyers

    I've read a lot of people complaining about fraudulent buyers on these forums, so I am about to set up a script tommorow on of my servers that will hold a database of all these fraudsters. It will allow users to add information, about fraudsters with almost all possible information about them.

    I'm hoping this way fraudulent transactions can be avoided.

    I was wondering how many of you have been through fraudulent transactions and are willing to add information.

    I meant a more generalized system as opposed to one only for Digitalpoint.

    That would allow users of various forums to keep records of fraudulent buyers.

    Well.... but I would be worrying about the fact that fraudulent buyers are usually hard to track, as they are hiding behind nicknames, fraudulent addresses and payment cards, etc.

    Anyway... there is never enough of good resources to prevent fraud, so good idea if you have the power to implement it so that it works for people.

    To answer your question, I have never had fraudulent transaction anywhere on the internet. Maybe pure luck. But I am rather careful.

    Best thing to do is just use escrow.com for sales.
