    Default How to deal/avoid scamming.

    K lol Idk but I had to bring this topic up, not sure if theres allready,a topic on it or whatever, but ANYWAY we all know about scammers, so and so on, but what people dont realize is when you get scammed just let it go you will never see that item again, its not like they will give it back so getting upset over it is pointless, also to popular belief lmao heres a secret, reporting a scam dosent do a thing for your part, they dont even consider It as a scam, what you will get is a email saying its your fault and thats what the trade button is there for, unless if you got your guild taken from you, which in this case report person's name, and guilds name its as easy,as that best way to avoid getting scammed is to not fall into pressure(begging), if you do decide to let someone borrow something ask to hold,something of equal exchange or higher so if they try to run off with your item guess who has 800k in,their pocket , if you have doubts about letting someone hold your item then dont let them chances are your intuition was right, but if you realy know the person and trust them 100% dont see why you cant do a favor anyway thats all.

    I thought this was called how to avoid scamming, not how to kiss up to your friends THEN take their items.

    Lol bro if you missed the message it says not to I did say if you trust the person there shouldn't be a doubt wether they will scam you and if that's directed toward me I don't borrow items, I just love how one person can ruin your mood

    Just always pay attention to your trade box. I always triple check before I accept the first trade, and another triple before the 2nd. I've had friends that had people switch like Commando Set, and last second changed some of the items (Arms, Sleeves) into chest pieces. This is when they were like 200k a piece.

    I've heard numerous stories of it happening. Usually happens to those 12 year olds who thinks they're going to get a great deal off something and are just so excited they click "confirm" instantly lol. It's their fault honestly if they get scammed. Just don't be stupid really.

    Agreed, that's true haha but sometimes there're kids playing and they might not have a common sense since they are just kids. So, you can't blame em
    Anyway be smart and don't get scammed
