Do you need to know the person real name before making some serious business with
 

Do you make seroius business deal with people you only know their handdle name or do you need to know their real name first?

My name is Sly. I go by nothing else!

Depends on how you define serious.
Small sums under 1000.00 yes I have not known names and just the handle. Over that amount and typically I want to know a little more with the exception of which handle it is.

Most of the people ive ever done business with ive not known their names till the deal was done where after we either spoke on teh phone or simply emailed.
Then again most were referred by other clients and still are.

Still only been ripped off once, by David Slaughter which i believe a fair amount of people on this board knows about....
He ripped 4 other providers in the process :321GFY

its all about trust. most people would fuck you over if it means gaining 2 bucks. i would meet them first in person.

So you would have no problem cashing a cheque issued to Sly?

Hell no..it is important to know as much as possible in case he tries to rip you off

I usually want to meet a business' owner(s) before doing anything signicant with them.

Name (first and last) is an abolute minimum... I prefer more.

If you're legit why wouldn't you give me your name?

All i need is their first name and where they are from
