    Default New type of scamming

    My friend was buying steel commando vest for warrior then this guy tell me he was selling for 1.4m

    my friend said ok i will buy it. 1st trade he place the warrior steel commando set then he canceled it he said he was lagging.

    2nd trade my member placed the money 1.4m and my friend did not notice that he already change the item to steel commando vest mage that is worth only 900k in CS.

    my friend know that it was his fault he did not double check the item he placed inside the trade box.

    but im sure he is scamming people round buying and selling and replacing the items.

    lesson learned please double check the items on the trade box.

    This is nothing new to the old switcheroo. It can either be a similar named item, different class, or what's easily missed nowadays is the level of the item as well as the type of gem.

    At least we have commas now in trade!

    Yeah. That happens more times with red arlor-red founder. Scammers change red arlor with red founder fast and then you are lost :P. Thanks for telling us

    So it's his fault, what are they gonna do? Let the scammer go free? That's also foolish.

    If I ever trade with anyone, if for any reason the trade window gets closed I am immediately skeptical.

    Lol xeno..I can't beat u in discussion . .but what is your say? Will sts ban him? ?....based on my experience no...I have been scammed of my lepre in very early stages. .I left the game and came back...sts will never ban these type of so called "scammers"
    If sts would have put a ban on these type of people, the entire breed of "scammers" would have wiped out by now..

    This is really the only thing I consider scamming in AL. While the definition of scamming is much more broad, most "scams" are people that leave themselves open to such behavior. I don't consider that scamming.
