    How to do a source check...4 Newbie's

    Doing a source check
    1. Obtain your source that needs checking. (email,Website,etc..
    2. Do a little leg work yourself first. Email the source first and ask for his references. He should be more than willing to give you these. If he doesn't, find a new one reguardless.
    3. Once you have the email addresses of the references, stop, don't just email those addresses. Be smart do not act like a fool.
    4. Find the boards that these guys post on, chances are that they will either be Vets and or Mods. If not do not bother.. Only follow up with mod's or vet's noone else.
    5. Check the addresses of the ones that the source gave you and the ones listed in the Mods and or Vets profile.
    6. Whatever account that the reference has, you get a corresponding one. ziplip to ziplip, cyber-rights to cyber-rights.hush to hush..etc
    Do not use hotmail,aol,msn etc.. these pm's will be not be answered.
    7. Now your ready to check on your source by asking these references..
    8. Once you've done all that, but you don't really know the references that well, then go to a MOD or a VET that you trust and ask about these references and the source.
    Chances are that the guys that you trust will know at least the references, if not the source also.
    BUT DO THE LEG WORK FIRST.

    An example of what you should email your friend that you trust MOD or VET:
    Make damn sure that you trust them!

    Hey(Mod or Vet)


    I've be checking out

    [email protected]
    He gave me these guys as references

    [email protected] and
    [email protected]

    They said that the guy is good to go, what do you think?


    Make sure you do this on secure email zip to zip, elite to elite, cyber-r to cyber-r, opra to opra, hush to hush..etc if it is not secure the pm will not be answered...
    Golden Rules..
    Be smart and safe
    Dont act like a fool
    If you need a "powder source" stay a while, rome was not built in a day
    The chances are only scammers are gunna pm you out the wall, not a trusted source
    The long you stay and get to know peeps, the more they will trust you
    This is not a game for newbie's.. If you are serious..Do not act like a fool
    Always do your research and only trust VETS or MODS.
    Good Luck...

    It's not WHAT you are supposed to ask, it's WHO.

    WHO would be those that DO source checks. Simply research, take some time, and find out who those people are.

    I am not one of them.

    I had to answer that ridiculously assinine brain fart of a statement with something of the same intelligence level.

    Unfortunately my response was still way above the one I was responding too.

    Dah well, it's too hard to act stupid, just doesn't come naturally for me.
