Hi all,
A bunch of friends have been messaging me lately that they've been getting scammed trying to get rich at the trade tables. It seems the scammers have been using one old method that i'm sure most of you may already know about. This thread is a warning for those who don't already know of this scam.
When you walk into the trade tables it's common to see people saying "Buying (item) for (item)" or "Selling (Item) for (Item)"
But when you walk in and you notice someone saying for example "Buying Red Plunger Trashpick for 10,000 tro" and then you go to a different floor and someone is saying "Selling Red Plunger for 5,000 tro" most likely you're going to think to yourself 'emggg if i buy that plunger for 5,000 tro I can sell it to the other guy and make a 5,000 tro profit" WRONG!!! Though this might be true sometimes it's common to see 2 friends working together saying such things. When you buy the Red Plunger you would have gone to the guy buying it for 10,000tro and he would simply log off or ignore you.
It's best to trade with friends or join a trading gang to make sure you're up to date with the current values so you can avoid scamming; always be cautious.
