    Default Jblazer's Guide to avoiding scam attempts

    He guys!I decided to make a guide on how to avoid scam attempts.As you may know the only way you get scammed is if you fall for there plan.Here are some scams that I've heard and seen myself.(I have not fell for any of them though)


    1.If you see someone say they can double your money,just ignore them or report.
    2.If someone offers to buy you platinum they are going to attempt to get your account.
    3.If someone random that is not your VERY GOOD friend,and asks to borrow something and they will pay you back,it is most likely a scam.
    Just overall if anyone needs your account info to do something for you it is a scam.
    Don't fall for these scams.These are just the most common scam attempts.There may be more but if they are similar to these it is just a scam.

    Scams are never a good experience.I'm happy for those who read this,I hope it has helped.I will be doing more mini guides in the future.STS is a great community,but there's always the people who want what they want when they want it!This thread is to prevent these scams.

    Let's get these people to learn there lesson.Most of us know that earning money,and leveling up isn't always easy.But scamming will not get you anywhere.It will get you hated and banned.When you think about it you know that you may have got what you wanted,but it ended up bad in your direction.

    Thanks for reading everyone!

    Hopefully this benefited you.

    Hope it helped guys!See you guys around!

    This stuff "should" be common sense to the normal player. But even so, good job.

    Good job JBlazer :-) But I recommend you take the two scammers names of your guide, to follow procedure of the don't name and shame lol

    But I'm glad you made this guide, as it will hopefully help those players who are likely to fall for these scams.

    Good Job :-)

    Nice job on taking the time to do this.

    Please don't list names as said above. Only leads to flaming. Otherwise looks pretty good so far. Are you gonna keep updating this as you learn more different types of scams?

    I hope he does, its a good guide. Unfortunately only 60% of SL population go on the forums. So its still a major problem.

    Awesome,will do.Thanks bro!

    And i'll make another guide I guess once I feel like the people who should read it have.

    Like Zero said,Sometime players just don't pay attention and lose it.I guess this more of a "wake up call".Sometimes we may think we can outsmart them.But it's best we avoid them.

    @Samhayne-Can this thread get transferred to the Player Guides section?Thanks,I wasn't able to make this thread there.

    Hope it helped guys!See you guys around!
    Or you could sum up the entire guide by saying one line. Anyone offering to do something against the ToS is a Scam nevertheless beside the grammar and minor technicalities good job.
