    Exclamation Watch out for this rip off!

    Well then, I have come across a rather Clever evil pot by the masterminds in pocket legends.

    This is basically a warning for all the merchants who wanna make quick profit lol.

    Anyways, people are in balefort saying stuff like "buying alien robes 50k" when In cs it's listed for like 30k. They make you buy it then when you do, they run off. They overprice useless items and claim to buy it for more and don't.

    I'm not sure what kinda hooligan stunt this is but just be careful lol

    I've seen 3-5 people do it since yesterday. Not sure if it's the same guy but still.

    Um, here's a better idea

    List a item in cs for wayyyyyy Over priced

    Then on a different character list that same item, but a lot cheaper!

    I've seen this yesterday with a noon buying Seers blizzard stick (Purple) and it was 50k in cs but he was trying to buy for 100k. He wanted to make someone else buy it and he ran away after.

    This is the most genius market tactic I've ever heard of.

    Yeah, this is a classic scam in PL. It's been going on since the CS opened. The devs know this scam, so be sure to report it.

    I first encountered it when I was in CS after farming Boulderfist. The scammer said he'd pay 20K for a green that was dropping like flies off of Boulderfist, so I went over and gifted him, and told him, "You shouldn't pay that much! It's a common drop." Then I went on to CS to put up a pink, but first I looked to see if anyone was selling that green and what the true value was and guess what? You already know, of course. It was listed in his name for 10K.

    He wanted to take advantage of a greedy person. In this classic scam, the greed of the mark is part of the equation. A nice person would say "Why not just buy the one in CS for 10K?" But a greedy person will buy the one for 10K and try to immediately sell it to the con man for 20K, who amazingly just bought it from someone else. What really happened is, he sold a POS for 10K.

    This isnt necesarily scamming. This is a money tactic say i put up robes for 30k then blast in balefort huying robes 60k someone will see oh they 30k ill make 30k profit from this dummy well in actuality hes getting the 30k running away farming again and doing same thing so its not a scam in my opionion just smart way of making money. Lol
