From primitive ghosters to long-con apex predators, and how to survive the Monero P2P jungle

We’re growing, friends: XmrBazaar is getting busier, more liquid, more useful.

And like clockwork, the “quality” of our resident scammers is rising in exact proportion. What started as “send me 0.0001 XMR first, I’ll send you the Discord account later bro” has evolved into BEP-20 fake-token dusting, months-long apex-predator ops, and (my personal favorite) scammers quoting the European “right to be forgotten” when we refuse to delete evidence of their crimes.

Evolution is real - and the scammers are evolving too. Or maybe the better we get, the higher-caliber predators we attract.

Welcome to the XmrBazaar Scammer Paleontology Museum, from the adorable primitive ghoster to modern Homo Scammus Sophisticus.

Era 1 - The Primitive Ghosting Chimps
Technique: “Just send XMR first, I’ll ship the aged Twitter/Discord account/Steam gift card right after, trust me bro.”

These sweet summer children still roam the platform. They’re the cockroaches of the scam ecosystem: nuclear-proof. They pocket your piconeros, vanish into the mist, then return six minutes after I slap a “Scam” warning on their profile with a brand-new account “selling” the exact same junk. Almost cute.

Era 2 - The Bait-and-Switch Hominins
Technique: “Trading here is inconvenient because ____ (fill in any excuse), let’s just move to Telegram / coinbazaar.com / SimpleX.”

The moment you leave XmrBazaar, congratulations: you’ve voluntarily walked into the alley they prepared.
