If they have been around this site for a while, have three or four figure post counts, have a lengthy build thread or make other knowledgeable contributions, and have a reasonable stable of poscats, they are probably safe.
If they have single figure post counts, joined yesterday, contact you by PM after you post on somebody else's post - tread carefully, VERY carefully. Any one of those would have me avoid them, two or more and I report them to the mods as suspect.
Use your commonsense. Sending money on trust to strangers is inherently risky. This is a well run site, with active mods, who do what they can to eliminate undesirables, but they can only act after the fact - you need to do your due diligence BEFORE sending the money. .
