I get that but he's not a scammer to everyone, vouches could easily sway someone who isn't convinced otherwise, and I would never vouch based on a method that I knew was fundamentally flawed and might encourage someone that is impartial to Jon's reputation to go through with buying it and get scammed. But cjess says he doesn't care about someone getting UaP, so that's that. Get +1's wherever you can, it just looked fishy to me to say "yes this was tested" then a few days later to make this thread. That was all I had to work with and it made me raise an eyebrow. If uninformed buyers are the stepping stones to getting Jon locked so be it, but I will be sad to bare witness to it.
People who pay someone $200 for a pair of boots without googling the guy's name to see 10 years of scammer accusations against him clearly don't care whether they get scammed or not.
Taking the bare minimum of precautions would make it impossible for him to trade. The only reason he manages to scam is because stupid people think "he only scams people who think he's their friend, but he won't scam me because I'm his friend"
The logic required to get scammed by him requires you to eat Card_Sultan levels of paint chips.

Ye... it's just no longer a matter of clash tests and how long it's been used without poofing in trusted hands... it's only the latter now... rip
this threat needs stickied in trade forums clearly
It was never a matter of clash tests. Clash tests mean literally nothing unless the item poofs during the clash test.
It's like someone checking you for a pulse. It only matters if you fail. Likewise, the people getting scammed this way act like they have no pulse.
