    Exclamation Beware of scam

    Hello everyone.
    I don't know if anyone had posted about this kind of scam. But I would like to share what I know.

    I have seen quite a number of people using this type of 'Scam' or should I say Trick.
    Firstly, they will list an item in consignment shop, usually overpriced if it's the only one in auction. (sometimes normal market price, the cheapest one in auction)
    Next, they will use a different toon and shout in towns (mostly outpost) that they are trading lepre for that item xxx. or paying high price for that item xxx.

    Don't fall into their traps!

    This is a trap. You will think it's a good deal and you will buy that item xxx.
    After you buy that item, they will either logout or they will say they already traded it with someone else.

    And boom! There's goes your gold.

    Just sharing what I know.

    Always be careful when you are trading, double triple check the digits and items.

    Thanks

    Its a common scam. Always offer pure gold in a trade unless you already have the item in your inventory.

    Same... That's how I got scammed for the first time. If the deal is too good it ain't real.

    That's a great and useful warning. Yep. We will bear in mind about this.

    Also , that's why i trust auction sales more than the random players that shout item sale in the town..

    Some players are genuine and honest. And some are scammers.
