Hello everyone,


As you may know, there is a guide by (Shadowstar) on how NOT to get scammed. Well, I have decided to make this "parody" version of it in hopes of getting a few lol's here and there. Maybe a few trolling comments. Idk, I'm just bored ok, here goes...


The following "guide" is NOT to be taken seriously, but may be useful... Somehow...


Rule Number One:

Take part in "out-of-trade window" trades. This will ensure that you get scammed about 80% of the time!

Whatever does not fit in the trade box may be too awesome to fit in there so it must be a good sale! EXAMPLE:

Person No. 1: yo guys, I'm selling this guild with 3rd guild halls, *insert name here*, for only 250k! It's the bargain of the lifetime! Just give me the gold, then I will make you guild master!

Person No. 2: thinking: "Wow, I always wanted to be a guild master, especially of a guild with third halls!"
"Ill give 500k for it!"

Person No. 1: *takes money* *kicks you from the guild* *logs off*


Rule Number Two:

DO ANYTHING TO TRADE MONEY FOR PLAT!
If a guy goes around saying, "Hey guys, give me 1mill and ill give you unlimited plat!" By all means, go for it! This is a 100% scam, gf.

If he could make someone have unlimited plat, he could do it to himself right? And if he got unlimited plat, he could get lots of gold. So why shouldn't you?

Also, Make sure you go on websites that people advertise In-Game, who knows, it could be your lucky day...

People do this all the time (if they lost a brain or have had too much to drink 0.o).


Rule Number Three:

Listen to gold doublers.... You'll get rich?

Scammer: Doubling gold!
Innocent person: ok!
Scammer: give the money, ill double it!
Innocent person: *gives 1k*
Scammer: *gives 2k*
Innocent person: OMG I LOVE YOU MAN!!! *gives 1mill"
Scammer: *takes money and runs away*
Innocent person: He must of had connection problems, he'll be back, I hope...


Rule number Four:

Never check the trade box, I trust the person on the other side. The confirm button is there for no reason.

Scammer: Selling demonic mace set 5 mill!
Buyer: Ill buy!
Scammer: *puts demonic mace set.*
Buyer: *puts 5 mill*
Scammer: brb, afk *takes demonic set away and puts useless trash items while you think he's away*
Buyer: *confirms*
Scammer: NOOB! HAHAHAAH!


Rule Number Five:

Always lend your items to beggers, I'm pretty sure the'll give it back as soon as they get drunk and have no sense or piece of mind...

Beggar: I want to borrow zuraz shock lance.
Guy: sure *hands it over* give it to me next week.
Scammer/beggar: OK *removes from friend list and never gives it back.*
(Congrats! You got scammed.)

Well, it's the "General Discussion" section, so I don't think there is anything wrong with this post -.-

Now, if it were on the "Player Guide" section, I would agree with you.
