Well honestly scams in the past were checks or wiring money.
People need to be more aware of scams, I think as a community someone posting should make it aware that there are scams.
With the rise in scams I can see there being a rule to use only G&S as payment, luckily we live in a free country and can choose how we accept payment.
I personally stay away from having to send a check or cashiers check ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
