scams and how to avoid them

Just realized this scam is not on your list yet:

It is the one where the buyer drops a digit in the trade window....so 1111111 becomes 111111

This is an old scam, but it is still a problem....and will continue to be a problem until commas are added to the trade window.

Just count 3 and put the commas in your head :P

lol....And some people are playing on phones with tiny screens. What often happens is people are really careful to count all the 1s, but then the seller backs up a screen to add an cheap item to the trade (excuse is to make room in their inventory for the new item) and when they do they also dropped a 1. The buyer might not realize the trade amount changed.

Sorry to hear you got scammed this way. I know a lot of people that have been cheated like that.
