# I bought an NFT from someone, but I think I was scammed. What happened?

One of the best things about web3 is that anyone can transact with anyone else anonymously. Unfortunately, that also applies to scammers.

While we immediately ban any confirmed scammers from our platform, web3 is permissionless. So the best way you can keep yourself from getting scammed is doing your due diligence and research on anyone you buy or trade NFTs with.
