Dont know if its new or old but someone offerred 6m for an item, confirm then ok then his inventory is full.

He traded again and this time its 600k. So always double tripple check price info name of item color before clicking confirm and ok.

Good thing, i tripple check everything, hope karma gets you Sunsmoke

Be vigilant guys

I will only do transaction once.. if player trade then cancel.. i will just cancel the deal.. if they are serious buyer and honest.. they are ready to trade without any excuses to cancel the trade 😊😊

Its not a scam.
Its on you to be sure the amount is correct.
This was tried on me a few days ago as well, same guy, 3 tries.
Changed 1.4m to 140k.
Because you used igns this thread will be closed and even your attempt to raise awareness has failed.
Sorry for your losses, its a tough lesson to learn.

I didnt get scammed.

but for the others, sorry all - so we should ignore all 2nd attempt trade.

Suggestion to avoid or reduce stuff like this (gold scam where they reduce one 0 on 2nd trade, from 700,000 to 70,00) is STS should increase font size and spacing for the gold denomination on trade window UI.

The reason you leave trade, at least for a period of time, is to clear your mind and your preconceptions. You saw 7m, expect 7m, so you might fool yourself into believing 700k is 7m. There are several ways to "reset" yourself, in real life, that can be applied in game. Such as slowing everything down: walk away (for awhile); close your eyes, go eat something, come back, start again; read the transaction aloud, which is much slower than your eyes. It is the game equivalent of "sleep on it".
