On a forum or in life. Never do a deal with someone you don't know personally.

I used to be a dealer and I never sold to someone I didn't know. If anyone sent someone my way I would send them away and tell the person who sent them to find a new dealer. Everyone knew that I was serious about keeping it honest. I only dealt to people I knew and trusted. If someone else wanted something they would have to go through them and never see me personally. Two times people tried to get me to do deals with people I didn't know, and both times I later found out it was a set up to bust me, and dismiss those persons possession charges.


Never move outside your inner circle when dealing. Its a dangerous business and you will get caught if you don't play it safe.
