Brandon11167 - I am a F2P player so I currently don't know the full extent of the members' scams. Also, this guide was based off of some other guides and from my experience. If you'd like to suggest anything, just post it here. I'll try to cover p2p scams in the future... Try :)

Nice guide. - If something seems too good to be true, then in most circumstances, it is.

My suggestion never rush a trade and all check and double check everything. If the trade screen is repeatedly closed to start the trade again it is probably a scammer.

Always bank all your items before going anywhere with a stranger. If you have nothing on you then you loose nothing. Educate yourself and read all the stickied threads eg Mod Poppies safety thread.
Be alert and never fall for the same scam twice.

dont forget about the free account scam someone gives you an account and pass then you think cool now i have a high level account and it was free then you go and put your money on it by using a freind you can trust or using 2 computers or how ever you do it. then they hack the account back and you loose everything on it
