Chances are that one of those Fiat payments was from an account that was hacked, and so your account has officially received funds that are associated with some sort of fraud.

- I make buy offer
- Scammer takes my offer and we enter the chat.
- I send multiple messages without response.
- I request a collab cancel due to no response.
- Seller then responds in chat AFTER I click collab cancel saying “Please send the code”.
- If I send the code, the scammer only has to click “Collab Cancel” and then the order is canceled and we both receive our sats back.
- He still has the Amazon code and I have nothing.
The crux of the scam is that they wait for me to initiate a collab cancel and then they try to get me to send the code after I have initiated a collab cancel.
Make sense?
There would be no dispute.
It would be a collaborative cancel.
As soon as the seller clicks the collab cancel button, we would both get our bonds back, and the scammer would have $100 to spend on Amazon with 0 risk.
No, I don’t think it’s really that important.
I highly doubt I am the first person to have ever experienced this before.

No. Once I submit a collab cancel and a message, I close the chat.
That is actually what I want to do but is easier said than done. The hard part is for clear net to be able to access my node behind Tor.
Darth has a guide I’ll go through and see if that works.
Don’t think it’s a degen site. I think the incentives are sound but it still requires some vigilance.
In order for anything in life to succeed, there needs to be more good actors than bad actors so I will do what I can to contribute to the honest use of the platform.

Maybe a way to rescind a collaborative cancel would solve the problem but that may give birth to new ways to scam.

Once you initiate a collaborative cancel, you can’t undue it.
So, imagine Alice initiates a trade with Bob and then Alice decides to initiate a cancel when Bob is unresponsive.
Then after Alice initiates a cancel, Bob says “sorry about that. I’m here now. Send the code.”
If Alice sends the code, then Bob can just accept the cancellation instead of acting honestly and Alice loses her money and Bob successfully scams Alice.
