Thread: Warning: Trade Table Scam Discovered

    Warning: Trade Table Scam Discovered

    I recently was at trade tables to advise somebody if the trade was good or not. During the trade at the last second, the other trader, who had 13,000 shells on the table said: "let me give you something free" his chat covered the shells numbers. He added a flower but at the same time removed the shells. I know how it's done, but only reporting how it's done to admins. Pictures below: (the person the picture is not the scammer, he's just my friend who discovered it from the scammer.)

    Also, iMoney was the scammer. He was in disguise but I added him and he changed his name & look later.

    I'll think of something for the ammo text, maybe limit the player's chat in these areas?

    Would it be possible for the trade table to be displayed on the trade confirmation window so you can see what's on the table without any obstructions before hitting accept? I don't think players would like chat limited since they try to advertise their items using the tables.

    Make the trading table item text in front of the speech text.
