    I havent been scammed, but I noticed a new scamming method used on me today:

    IGN Ipwnyouz contacted me in Paradise Pier, said he wanted to buy my Magma Totem og Potency for 500k. My magma was in auc, so I guess he saw my IGN there. I said ok and went to cancel my magma totem in auction to get it out and ready for trade. When I returned, he was gone, and he had logged off - and cancelled our friendship in social. When I returned to auc, I saw the same user had just put up another magma of potency same as mine.

    So his "scam" was to make me pull out my item in auction, so he could list his own (more expensive) item at 500k. Mine was listed at 425k.

    Not a real scam, but still, its irritating for me having spent +20k on a 425k listing that he made me cancel thinking we should trade.

    Its now my mission to find and report him. IGN Ipwnyouz, beware!
