I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but I've seen people claiming to be selling clue reward caskets for large amounts of money. These aren't tradeable, and they're just selling overpriced caskets from fishing.

That falls under "selling identical items". Tell people being tricked into doing this to check the second trade window carefully, and remind them clue scroll caskets are intradable.

You missed one of the most common ones; "Selling clue scroll casket, 20k!".

Incidentally, I only read the first page when I wrote that.

Wow, awesome guide very informative.
Someone tried to scam me a few times saying show me your items and ill fill the rest of yr inv up with ppots/snapdragons etcetc, so for fun i traded him (get him a little excited) went to the second trade window with it and cancelled, then reported :P laughed at him and followed him around calling him a scammer till he logged. Good funz :)

I am happy we atleast have the flashing "!" in 07 i remember when we didnt even have that and ppl just swap stuff out really fast before the accept is it and bam what you just thought you got is something different worth nothing :P

ah gotta love it. Be vigilant ppl and keep your wits about you :)
