Unfortunately it is not just sites, there are nefarious individuals as well and they will take most forms of payment and not deliver. They also use stolen or co-opted id's, real street address etc. etc.. Face to face is better but not foolproof! Even a 'brick and mortar' store can scam you. This is not a new thing, recall the Trojan Horse!
Sigh, guys use a bank issued credit card for anything you buy. Online or standing at a counter. If you get burned the bank just refunds your money. This seems over the top hard for many to grasp for some reason and I can't understand why? Making a list of "scam sights" would take daily updates. The scammers put these up, they get pulled down like whack a mole. The only people who get burned are those who for some reason I still can't understand have to pay some other way than the safe way. Who then cry
