Warning New Scam

Hello forumers! Yesterday I was hanging around in Travelers Outpost being random and just doing nothing, Until I saw this person who said 'Trading a leap for 9 locks' Now if you were someone who read that and thought it was real you'd most likely instantly trade him 9 locks in hope he 'd give you a leap because you were getting a bargain. However I didn't fall for this. think, how many crates does he want? 9, How many can you fit in a trade window? 4, So it is VERY likely that you were going to trade your first 4 crates, then your 2nd set of 4 crates, Then you finally trade the last one it you realise you've been scammed. I've seen this person multiple times in kraag and in travelers outpost, if you see him make sure to report him. Have a good day and don't get scammed by this pathetic person.

wat is dat scammer name?
anyway nice info rebornblaze :)

In a one hour period standing in travelers outpost I saw 5 different people try the same thing. I ran all 5 out of town by telling them 8 locked don't fit in trade window and if they want to trade I would give 4 locked and the amount of gold the other 4 were worth. Of course they refused and left town but another would show to take the last ones place.

sts should add something like "dont make trades for more than 4 items as its not possible at once and is likely a scam" to the warnings and such on the character screen.

I can see a bunch of noobs falling for this one.

Then why asking for other people's money? Couldn't he multiplicate his own money? lol what a low stupid trick to scam players...

I have seen multiple people in towns now attempting this new pathetic scam, I can see a lot of new people who desperately need lep falling for this. If you see someone doing this scam please warn the other people so his attempt fails.

Thank you Zylx :)

I also remember another scheme which scammers have tried in outpost. It was when we could trade mythic eggs( I guess this happened in Jan). So this guy says that people should give him 39K, he'll convert it to plat and give you Abbadon egg. Reported -.-

I got my lepre from Cokeandacid. He quit and gave me

STS should increase the amount of items to be trade...say 100...so if someone ask for 100 crates for an item, there will not be an issue of scamming..

And also a counter so we can know how many items are in each side and don't have to keep counting

Or by the time you count your crates either the seller will get frustrated and leave or scam you out of a few.

If someone attempts to try this scam on you don't let greediness take control always think straight and tell him to wait a sec so you can convert the lockeds to gold they sell extremely fast, then proceed to put the lockeds in the Cs sell them and trade the money for the lep.

If the guy doesn't agree then just don't do the deal cause it is probably a scammer and not a serious merchant.




Anyway i am 100% sure this is a old scam method but lately it seems to be getting reused.

I once encountered a clever scammer with a clever method. He was spamming in paradise pier that he's looking to have his mythic rogue helmet swapped to a legendary ring, forgot what it was called but i went to check cs and there goes the ring he was looking for, lonesome and priced ridiculously high. I figured the guy shouting is definitely the same guy selling that ring.
