I want to say 1 thing :
The acc scams

1 time I got scammed where i lost 400k
The deal was 50% start 50% after checking if the acc is true.
I gave him the 50% ( ithought now he will ran away)
He gave me the acc infos and they were wrong.
Then he said me that the acc is over google+.
So I logged in with the google + and it worked.
I was happy that he didn't scammed me.....I gave him the other part of the gold.
I tried change the password but i noticed that I couldn't change the pw.
It is not possible as soon as it is not my main acc in my device....After 2 hrs later he finished his scam and changed the password.
I wanted to add this because when you try to buy an acc google+ doesnt work and you can find out that it is a scam

NOT: I know I wrote this text strange. I'm sorry for it...I can't do it better :/
And when I am wrong please anyone correct it I don't want to give wrong information.

[Spartansultan]

But when you find it out its too late :/
And sts please don't ban me now. I know it is wrong trying to buy an account from another one

The Real-World Trade Scam

I don't know under what category this falls under, but last night a guy advertised he was selling 4 locked crates for 45k. So I traded him and put in 45k as he put in 4 locked crates. I press confirm and then he swiftly removes one crate so that im actually buying 3 crates for 45k. I message him and say one more and he says laaggg. I thought I'd give the guy another chance after he closed the trade window but he tried the same friggin' thing again on me.

Bottomline is NEVER RUSH TRADES. One crate may mean nothing to those who have been playing a while. But for some that is worth their potions for levelling, decent gear so as not to die too much.


Sent from under the sheets.

This scam will happens when you tell someone that you got an arcane/mythic item[red/orange colored items] at a low level and the scammer tries to trick you and buy it at ridiculasly low price

Example: you purchased some plats and got Samael's Egg when you tell someone that you got a red Egg or samael's egg they will tell you that they will buy it for 500000gold! Don't think that he offers more than the egg cost...the egg costs about 24000000g many new players get affected by this...Never trade a orange/red item without checking the price in CS/Auction House

Many people are selling real promo codes with lvl 1 items for 10k this isn't really a scam but some people are saying there is a 50% chance to get platinum but I want to get my 10k if it doesn't work with plat too.
