Where should I post about being scammed on Numista?

6 posts • viewed 203 times
Hi all – I was scammed here on Numista, almost $60 worth. Where should I post about it, which forum?

One of the problems is that there's no way to leave a review of the seller/scammer on their profile page. They might get away with a few more scams because it's so hard to leave reviews, and some of their reviews are obviously fake (I didn't pay close attention before, just to their overall rating...)

Thanks.
Write directly to Xavier, he can at least ban those users.

Please, describe the situation and a nickname of the scammer here.

Why there is no possibility to leave your feedback? For the future I'd recommend (in case of the sale) to confirm an empty swap to be able to leave a feedback...

Just my opinion. Numista is perfect for swapping, not for buying. If you buy you should estimate all risk. Thanks.
Best regards,

​Indeed yes, the button in the upper right corner of the profile page.

Were you scammed on Numista or simply robbed by someone who is coincidentally also a member? If the transaction takes place using the swap engine it's perfectly possible to leave negative feedback. Private sales are exactly that - a private matter.

It would be great if people had some way to publicly name crooks but Dear Leader has always opposed this for perfectly good reasons. On balance I disagree but his house, his rules, I reckon. At least currently it's possible to identify a thief by his user name but not to give out personal information, not too long ago you couldn't even identify a sketchy type as "COINZDUDE666" without the warning being deleted. Baby steps folks :)

EDIT: Sorry, forgot my manners. I should have at some point said that I'm very sorry to hear that your trust has been taken advantage of. Please don't let this mar your enjoyment of the world's best coin website.
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.
