how to avoid scammers?

Post by amazn »

i just want to know how the scamming works....

ive gotten to a point where im upgrading weps and what not so when i sell i dont want to fall victim to a scammer

ive only experienced it once where someone offered 2mil for my dog, but b4 she accepted, her gold became 21k....., didnt fall for that XD

is this the only way people get scammed just by being too hasty, or should i be on the lookout for more stealthy ways people scam

thanks for the help

Yeah, and also other stuff like switching items when you're purchasing 'em.. (it's been so common that ppl even switch +1/+2 items to regular white one's, it's terrible).

And be careful when you're buying som/sosun's so that they don't switch to regular sos (lol.. "regular sos").

Easy.

* If you are selling items for gold, set up a stall.
* If you are buying items with gold, tell them to set up a stall.
* If you are trading multiple items, take your time and look over everything before you hit ok and before you hit approve.

I've noticed at least on Alps, more and more people sell via stall. When someone offered to buy all my weapon elixers, I set up a stall. Just makes life easier for everyone. Just make sure you double check the price you have before you hit "open stall " ;)
