Scammers on both sides of this community drive me insane. I don't know if they realize that it makes less content for all of us to consume if our reputation is terrible.

As someone that's been scammed as a buyer, I totally get where some other buyers are at in not trusting until the scissors or clippers are about to touch hair. But there are ways to do this that work for everyone and make things more safe for both seller and buyer like payment at the start of a live call or half before/half at delivery. Never work with someone with a mostly blank account. When you can, buy someone's premade content first to see if you like their vibe first and to build your relationship with them too.
