when putting up items for D4, sometimes I get people who want to BIN something for let's say 850 fg, but when I look at their profile they only have 500 fg. Haven't been trading here since release D2R. Annd I never had a bad experience. But these people raise a flag for me. Is it fair to do so? Are there a lot more scams here now? What are your experiences?

How can I prevent being scammed? Always use mediator? Screen record your trades? Never have had 1 bad experience, so wouldn't know what to do incase I get scammed and how to best cover myself.

maybe they buy fg just for that trade.

i have done so multiple times in the past.
But its always good to be aware, there are scammers. regarding this issue though, i just think they get some fg just for that trade (if they really need that item).

you can request them to pay first if you think their account doesn't have enough fg. i've done quite a few trades with people not having enough fg too. they happened to get someone else to pay. idk but if you're not comfortable with that trade, request a mod

i do that people i dont like
