Thanks for the post, there is another scam I have run into that should be added.

"In this scam people will trade you when buying or selling an item. They will give you 10x less then asked for. Example: Actual trade 1111k for 1010 shark. They will rush the trade and instead give you 111k for 1010 shark."

I have seen this three times with varying items.

yer that's why I always take a few seconds to confirm the second trade menu.

Fairly certain I have rushing the trade listed. In any case you should always watch the trade window carefully. If someone is rushing your trade, it's just not worth it.

I only added as they do not have to rush the trade. It's more of the window looks correct but is not.

Which is why you take the extra few seconds to make certain that it is correct.

This basically. Always scrutinize the second trade window.

They won't be able to reimburse your lost items unfortunately.

Best bet would be to scan your computer, remove any malicious material, and change your pass word. Just be patient and wait for the email to arrive for further instruction.

Not sure if this one is listed, but I see it all the time. Unfortunately, I don't think you can report this, but here goes. Someone will say that he/she is selling 100k Fire Runes for 3m (3ea) and that he/she will only sell all at once. For anyone that didn't fail 3rd grade math, 100k x 3 is 300k, NOT 3m. So in reality, you're paying 30ea for Fire Runes, way more than their market value.
