Most Trades on SmartCanucks are Wonderful

Most trades on SmartCanucks are executed very smoothly and 99.999% of trades are pleasant and positive with both traders getting what they were expecting.

Are Scams something I should be worried about?

Every now and then something wrong happens. Either someone has some kind of personal crises and cannot honour the trades temporarily or very very very rarely someone tries scamming members. To get an idea of how rare this is, we've had less than five serious scammers since 2006 with the last two eventually honouring their trades.

Not everyone who doesn't honour their trade is a Scammer

To protect members we have setup a new policy on here. If many members complain about someone not honouring their trades and scamming people, we will first make sure they are not having some kind of personal crises. It happens! People sometimes go through very rough times. From that member's feedback history on here and contribution to the community we can kind of tell whether they are simply unable to respond at the moment or whether they are trying to scam.

What Action is taken against Scammers?

If it is determined that the person is trying to scam, we will personally email that person and give them a few of days to get back to her. If she hears nothing, all SmartCanucks members involved will be contacted and we will proceed to file a fraud/scam report to their local police station. You can argue about the effectiveness of such a procedure. But personally I would not want ten or twenty different people calling my local police station and complaining about me. I would also not want to scam people who have my home address (but that's just me). Also, not only is it an unethical thing to do, but the long term losses of not being able to trade on here far outweigh the one time gains. On top of reporting the scammer to the police we will make sure that the user can never even view the forums again by banning them completely from here.


How to Avoid Getting Scammed

Make good use of the trade rating/feedback system. If you go to any user's profile page by clicking on their name you can click on the "Feedback" tab and read about other people's experience with the user. From a user's profile you can also see their recent posts and kind of tell where else they are trading, how helpful to the community they are and so on.

Also be careful of people who are willing to make huge trade sacrifices, e.g. a user willing to trade away a $100 gift card and only get another $50 Gift Card in return sounds fishy. Almost all scammers in the past were involved with things like Gift Cards and Shoppers Drug Mart Points. If the trade is too good to be true, it probably is!

How can I find out who else is currently trading with a Member

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no easy way of finding out (but I am working on an extension that would allow that). In the meantime this will be one of the purposes of this thread. If you want to check who else is trading with someone you can post a simple question on here e.g. "Can I please know who else is currently trading with Boo Radley" and others would let you know.

I'm New Here and I have No Positive Ratings, Help!

That's a tough one! Unfortunately, just like everything else in life, at first you need to build good reputation and trust and eventually you're the one helping out new people. If you're new what I suggest you do (this is only a suggestion not a rule) is that you trade with some of the highly positive rated members and you send out your trade first. Since they have high ratings you can trust they will honour their part of the trade AND once they get yours they'll send out their part.

You can also check out the "Adopt a Newbie" thread and you'll find a lot of members are willing to help you out on there




We will update this thread consistently. Please make sure that you do NOT use this thread to bash other members. Remember that attacking other members is not allowed on SC. This thread is for us to share information in a civil respectful manner and be more informed.


Again...

Bashing and attacking members is not allowed on this thread or anywhere else on SC.

[NikyK]

Thank you, Boo! Unfortunately, we do need such a thread recently...
Just one question, posting someone's name and/or address wouldn't be considered a harassment ? Cause I still remember the PM I got from faithisabel!

[leeleelala]

I agree with the posting the full address part. I'm not sure how lawful it is but surely it's unethical to breach someone's privacy like that. At the end, it's only coupons really. If someone is scamming other's GC, that's a different story. IMO, I think partial address is perhaps more acceptable.

I think address should be partial like this:

Hey Boo,

Just one thing you might want to correct,

Funny how one letter reverses the meaning

[thecountess]

Thanks Boo

(I think this thread should be stickied)

[Bloo]

ohh wow im surprised we are allowed to bash in this thread now?? :O

[seajay]

Boo, can you sticky this thread?

[sporatic]

Boo, it needs to be a sticky so people could see it rather than searching about other traders on the forum... just a thought. Guess, I am just not good doing search or it never comes up when I need it, lol.

[TheBays]

Where can I post a name for the blacklist. This has been burning a hole in me for a long time.
JOYCE

[sandiecoop1]

This is a great idea. Definately puts my mind at ease. This way we don't fix the problem, we prevent it. Please make this a sticky. Now what do we do about nasty comments, poking fun at other members not in jest, and bashing sort of behaviour? Is there something for that?

[Justine]

Great and if everyone keeps using the trade ratings properly and leaving negative feedbacks, this list will get longer and scammers will be revealed (hopefully there won't be any more to have to reveal, but you know what I am saying). No scamming allowed!!!

[tasha313]

Thanks for the post please make this a sticky. This should be really useful

[Jezebel]

ohh wow im surprised we are allowed to bash in this thread now?? :O

I think it was a typo....
