With _account signing_ anybody virtually gets trusted from simply trading with a signed user. This adds no protection since no real proof of trust is delivered. A scammer can operate as normal.

Here suggesting a new model for security:

1. **Information on users**
Total number of trades and account age are important metrics that indicates trust. This should be displayed on all users.

2. **Raise limits not only on account age**
Limit raise is triggered instantly from a combination of account age and number of trades per payment account, as an automated criteria for trust (“PoT”). Number of trades * account age > N. The score can be displayed for self tracking.

PoT = Proof of Trust

Note that the risk for cashback scam can never be eliminated.
