How not to get scammed
------------------------
1-Always take your time looking at items before pressing accept
---->Scammers rely on the fact that:
A People might be in a hurry and rush through trade.
B. People won't take their time to look at what they are buying
C. People don't know what it's supposed to look like.
2-Collector items can be modified don't forget, they are usually pale blue and have perfect mods. But these cost much less to get yourself.
3-If you're buying mods or upgrades never-ever buy weapons that have them on.
----->They are/might be:
A.Collector's items
B.Quest reward items
C.Already Customized to that person(Thus un-salvageable)
D.Have another mod on that might be salvaged instead of the one you want
---->Have the person salavage it first and if s/he does not accept then buy it from someone else (Don't insult they'll just try to scam someone else-If they don't sell they'll stop doing it eventually)
4-Never pay for these.
---->Ex:
1-Running services requiring you to pay before.
2-Information.
3-Names and/or Help
---->You should not need to pay for information. Ask someone else or ask your question in *all* chat to see if anyone else knows.
---->Never accept internet addresses(unless from a guild/person you know), download programs given to you in-game, or trade quest information or names of other characters that might help for cash or items. They are often/if not always scams.

How not to get hacked
Never give the following information:
1.Your email---->50% of your account is already hacked at this point.
2.Name --->You might have take a chance of giving clues to your password.
3.Never allow anyone else to use your user account.
4. Never give user account information (email/passwords/numers)online.
---->Trojans and Keyloggers might have been uploaded to your computer when you dowloaded information and/or programs.
These can permit someone to find your password(Trojan) and other informations like your email(Keylogger).
Never do the following:
1-Download off a non-official site or non-officialized program anything related in some way to Guild-wars or MMORPs.
2-Accept and open file attachments from an email comming from an in-game player. (Virus scans can rarely detect Keyloggers).
--->If it's an image give him forum addresses and/or ask him to post it visualy in his email. Never ever download !
************************************************** *
FOR FORGE RUNNERS/RUNNED!
Pay 1k at each point. Snake,Camp,Forge. If he does not accept find someone else. 1k at each point should be ok for any Runner through the pass and is totally fair.
MOST IMPORTANT
If you feel bad and or nervous about doing something and are unsure.
You are probably right.
ex.
A runner to Borliss pass (seem very easy no?) asking for 200g.
I felt wierd about him but I tell him I'll pay half here half there.
(You know where this is going
)
He goes outside with 3 other people. He then leaves and goes offline. Everyone else lost 200g while I lost 100g only.
I kinda knew but I was willing to try trusing just once.
and I say "O no <<<I go on to say a long list of cursing but due to forum rule I will not post them>>>" away I made a new rp to replace him and I recoved and now I think and stop before I delete someone now my main rp is lvl 20 in the RING OF FIRE and is better then my last chactacter.
