Yes. Thank you for bringing this scam up. In my stupidity, I have gotten caught in one of these scams. A low level Mage asked me to buy him a Bonechill Staff that costed over 400k in exhange for a hemmingvilla helm.

I soon found myself staring at a empty space behind me.

Sadly, I didn't catch the name to report to STS about this scam. But I soon came to realize that I probably deserve this for believing this guy wanted to exchange such a high priced item for a staff.

Luckily, my dear friend gave me the amount of gold I had lost. At the time, 300k-400k was all the gold I had. And because of this scammer, I almost thought on deleting AL because I lost all my gold, and couldn't continue to play like I used to.

Quite recently, the same low level Mage came to me and asked for an expensive item in exchange for a Hemmingvilla Armor. I refused. I told him he was the same scammer that I met before. He seemingly disappeared.

That is my story. I couldn't believe I got caught in such a simple scam. I learned my lesson the hard way.
