I am being very cautious as I want to make sure they are reputable.
We all know speeding has consequences, some still choose to go over the (speed) limit as their hearts desire.
Whoever is doing business with mileage brokers should feel comfortable enough to take his/her own risk, because selling miles is in direct violation of TOS of every FFP I know.
See these existing threads for once-too-many discussion on this very topic:

Take a special note from
our knowledgeable forum mod's early reply in this thread:
If you use "Search this Forum" with the keywords: mileage broker you will find several previous discussions of this topic.
Mileage Brokers cannot buy your miles, instead they will instruct you to redeem an award from your frequent flyer account in the name of the buyer. This creates a clear audit trail from the buyer to you. The buyer is at risk of being denied boarding. You are at risk of losing your mileage account balance.
