    A Scamming Prevention Group


    I have a cool Idea, What if someone created a group (Ik they aren't a thing but listen here) that had a certain tag, this group would be like an insurance policy. You pay like 1$ a month and if you get scammed we help repay the money, the deal would be there would be a few reputable people in the group with large rep that would be dedicated middlemen, and before you do a deal you have to clarify with the group "Managers" or leaders that would tell you if it was a good idea or not, they would check out the person on or off the site. It would be a group for people that want to make small or large purchases. It could also spread non-mc stuff



    To help people that are scammed or weary of the sites/people they deal with

    I'm sure many people have come up with this idea before and would like it, however there are some issues.

    • We would rather not be chargebacked ourselves and in order to insure larger items, it would have to be a per transaction fee. In order to be profitable, we'd need to get more profit over the usual scam rate, therefore making it not as useful to the average member. Those who know how to tell the difference between a reputable member and a non-reputable one wouldn't use the service which would make a financing issue.
    • Such a program would provide overwhelming trust to those entrusted with running the system-in which MCTrades would of course take the blame if something bad were to happen. (Not Happening)
      • Yes, reputable people scam also once they would like to move on in life-or simply when they want something expensive, more than what they actually have.
    Suggestion declined, however if anybody would like to fulfill this idea on their own, feel free to do so, but at the moment we're not doing anything officially associated with MCTrades in regards to this.
