The other way of playing safe is for you to make an unsolicited approach for a domain. The chance of encountering a conman this way are much reduced.
Frankly, it is not a problem that I am encountering at the moment, as I am doing new registrations. The problem here is finding something of value that nobody has yet thought of. The biggest opportunities here lie with IDN which still offer some interesting situations.
