There's only two things that i can really say about this:
1) Your credentials are of your previous history, background, characteristic, as well as your allegiance. For example, if you are dealing with Aso from world 3 Lost Cavern, you are most likely guarantee that his trade is genuine as he has a history and credential already established. In contrast, if you are dealing with me, you are not as secure as I am some guy with a low post count and (supposedly) unknown affiliations, and no I am not a trader.
2) Use some secure method of security to ensure that you will not be raided. In general you should use a temporary trading post anyways to avoid the mole item trick. This is a loose example but Constantinople was a semi-secure area because they enforced a no-politics region.
PS: As for my opinion about "RUA" and Pandemonium, I don't care either way.

An enemy will only fight if he believes he either has a chance to win, or you've backed him into a corner and he's fighting for his life. A completely crushing victory provides an enemy with neither.
