    New Scam on DP - People Reposting Flippa Sales

    A new scam I've recently noticed on DP and just posted on my blog about - scammers reposting flippa sales threads on dp and pretend selling the sites using all the site data and information from the flippa listing.

    While it's fairly easy to spot if you just request some ownership proof or insist on an escrow transaction, many people fall into this since it's still a step up from the regular scam attempts when scammers just pretend to sell sites/domains they don't own - here they have all sorts of screenshots and actual site info to back it up - so beware!

    DP has more scams than Flippa and we tend to forget about DP because of the sheer volume of junk and scams.
