Anyone who's spent enough time in the War Camp on the Eng-1 server will have seen this person being named and shamed each time he comes online. I saw his name appear in all chat this afternoon as about five different people claimed they were scammed by him before. Anyway earlier on tonight I was trying to sell my Fleshweaver today for 50k and he offered a trade. Enjoy.

I don't have a screen of the trade window but he tried to pull the classic 55g instead of 55 plat trick on me. A word of advice to all of you; take a few seconds to double check each trade before clicking accept. This will save you from being scammed 99 times out of 100. I know this has been beaten to death on other threads but I couldn't resist. I was laughing when he tried to bully me into accepting with all caps. Oh well. The dumb remain dumb.

*edit* fixed jpg.

Psst... you didn't block out their name when they accepted your offer.

I'm not sure that's a scammer as much as a mentally challenged player...

yeah i was quite confused on what the scam was, he just seemed to be either stupid or not up on his english... or both

I pmed one of the players who was warning everyone in local chat about him. He told me that another one of his scams is to replace a green shield with a normal shield with the same skin, so you get a lousy shield for the price of a green one.

It's just that I've never seen so many players react negatively to one player entering an outpost.

Hehe, it still works. Tried it with Globs of Ectoplasm and Spider Webs (which used to have the same picture, not anymore though) once with a stack of 10, it actually worked, though, I was in a good mood and gave him the Ectos after all, though, look out for the scam, people can still do this with weapons/off-hands/shields, always check what's in the screen before accepting, this also goes for the gold instead of Platinum scam.
