deonnaveen Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Okay, I got a message from a buyer telling me to scrape some details from a website called OLX as a sample. So I told him, how much data do you need as a sample and he told me he need atleast around 7000 data scraped. So I though it was a scam because he could use these data and not need to pay me and I ended up reporting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk1000 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I’m not sure reporting him was necessary. You could have just said you don’t provide samples or don’t provide samples of scraping over x amount of lines/data items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
