The most common scam was not advertised here it seems. I'm very much in support of public notices like this. It's people like us who have to ensure that those young and unknowing and even those experienced and over confident don't get caught out.
This is what I would call the "It's way less in cs" scam.
Our main problem here is some people might not be checking the CS as regularly as some of us to know the general price range of some items. This allows an innocent person who has got all excited about their newly dropped Loki or Kettle eggs to get influenced and scammed.
Example
Scammer 1 - Paul
Scammer 2 - James
Scammer 3 - Tom (The Egg Carrier)
Innocent Seller - Harry (The Mark)
Harry: "OMFG KETTLE?!? YEEEESSSSSSS"
Excited Harry rushes to Kraag to sell his very rare pet for a small fortune and get the weapon he has always wanted.
Harry: "I have a very rare Kettle Egg for sale! 600k!"
Paul: "O.o it's 400k in cs"
James PM's Harry
James: "Hey I will give you 300k for a sale now"
Harry PM's James
Harry: "Ah man I was hoping for a lot more... 550k and it's yours!"
James PM's Harry
James: "Ah np I''ll leave it thx"
- Now at this stage Harry is deflated and decides that he wants to cash in before something else goes wrong. Conveniently James is still lingering around Harry.
Harry PM's James: "Okay I don't want to lose too much on this, if you will meet me roughly half way I will sell it now"
- Eventually James manages to talk Harry around and gets the egg for 375k
- In short the "Mark" was spotted advertising Kettle. Knowing that not everyone has the cash to jump in, Paul and James get ready to make their move. First Tom puts Kettle in the CS for 400k. Then moves in to position and gives Paul the message that he has planted the egg. Then Paul waits for another advert from the "Mark". When Harry advertises the Kettle Egg, Paul then makes him look stupid in public by announcing his price is way too high and that someone else has it advertised way cheaper.
At this point Harry's Egg loses value and almost becomes a sore subject for him. Emotionally, Harry is now deflated and all he needs is a little tap on the shoulder and a decent price to keep him sweet.
This is a very well planned scam and is common it seems. I find it interesting then that sometimes the once advertised 400k egg is gone shortly after the sale of the egg to James from Harry.
Tip - Don't always settle for sales outside of the CS if you're unhappy with the price. Hold on to it and put it in CS when you can afford to lose 30-40k. Prices go up and down all the time and you do have time on your side.
Proof the website scam exists,
