Here at YormeHut, maintaining a safe and secure environment is of utmost importance. The trade chat platform enables users to communicate and negotiate their trades conveniently. However, disputes can sometimes arise, and that’s where trade chat moderators come into play. These moderators ensure that disputes are resolved fairly and transparently. Unfortunately, there are individuals who seek to take advantage of these situations by posing as moderators.
In this guide, we will help you distinguish between legitimate trade chat moderators and potential impostors, ensuring that your trades remain secure and trustworthy.
Understanding the Dispute Process
Before diving into the details of identifying moderators and impostors, let’s briefly review the dispute process.
When trading parties find themselves in disagreement or encounter an issue with their trade, they can initiate a dispute. A dispute moderator is then assigned to the case. The moderator reviews the trade details, conversations, and evidence provided by both parties before making an impartial decision to resolve the dispute.
The Problem: Bad Actors, Impersonation Moderators
While the dispute process is designed to ensure fairness, there are individuals who try to exploit it for their own gain. These bad actors pose as moderators in an attempt to deceive trading partners into taking actions that could compromise the security of their trade and funds.
Identifying Legitimate Dispute Moderators
To ensure that you’re interacting with a legitimate dispute moderator, keep an eye out for the following indicators:

Things Fake Moderators May Ask You to Do
Fake Moderators often attempt to manipulate traders into taking actions that can compromise their trades or funds. Be cautious if you’re asked to perform any of the following actions:
- ORDER CONFIRMATION: Imposters may ask you to cancel the dispute and confirm the order to complete the transaction before the dispute is fully resolved. Legitimate moderators will never rush this process.
- Canceling the Trade: If an impostor asks you to cancel the trade without proper verification from the platform, be suspicious. Legitimate moderators follow a proper protocol for trade cancellation.
- Clicking a Link: Impostors might send you links under the pretext of providing additional information or assistance. Never click on any links unless you’re absolutely certain of their legitimacy.
- Asked for the YormeHut Login credentials: Impostors will lure you by sending a moderator’s statement about the trade and might ask for your YormeHut email password. A legitimate YormeHut moderator, including YormeHut Support, will NEVER ask for this sensitive information.
In conclusion, while trade chat offers a convenient way to negotiate and complete trades, it’s essential to be vigilant and cautious of potential impostors posing as moderators.
Always prioritize your safety and security, and never hesitate to reach out to our Support Team if you’re unsure about the legitimacy of a moderator’s actions.
