RE: Talk Channel: "Comment or ask a question"/ Comente o pregunte (week 263) in the WOX
I think the middleman earns trust through his reputation. Haha, I don’t think I would trust friends or relatives if their reputation is bad. As Publilius Syrus said, 'A good reputation is more valuable than money.'
It is a risk indeed and I never took it. I know who did and received the name years ago and refused. What also is important is that I should be able to do it myself.
It makes me feel uncomfirtable to deoend on someone who can be too busy, ill, absent or die which would make me stand empty handed plus I have the stress of figuring it out myself without help.
It depends on what you will exchange for it. Sometimes, it's worth trying and taking the risk to trust the other side.
The risk? My trust doesn't go that far to trust people with a few thousands of euros. If you do that you are an idiot and will definitely be fooled, next to the fact you will only attract parasites. It's here not different from real life.
