This is something I have always advocated. It's even in the OP, in different words.
There are very few scams that couldn't have been prevented by people taking a little extra care over sending their money to internet strangers.
If this thread wasn't here, I'd bet a dollar that trading would go underground, and a lot more scams would be attempted.
I am going to unban royhobbs62, but he is being told that he is not allowed to trade for six months. If anyone receives a PM from him trying to buy or sell funds, please forward it to me and, upon confirmation of its veracity, he will be perma-banned. I believe his known poker SNs are: ACR poe99, True micha49, and BCP fearedbyall. If anyone knows of any others, please let us all know.
