Speaking about paying attention...
I once put a two hundred dubloon coin up for auction for 28k instead of 280k.


Earth Faerie for 1NP. I was a moron.

(This was back when Faeries were 1K.)

That sort of happened to me once...
I put a paint brush asking for 120k, someone bid 120 NP and me not looking closly enough accepting it right away...I tried cancling but it was too late.
120k down the drain. Now a days I look more closly...

This is quite an evil way to scam people. I am starting to think that there are private guilds out there that formulate scams like this.

Thanks for the heads-up/ :)



oh really??.....

I wonder how they com up with these things.

I bet they are phyciartrists (mispelled) :oops: They study human common mistakes and use it against them. :x


This might be a way out of the blue answer to the question you asked hynfaeries0. Maybe that certain scammer played a certain MMORPG by the name of Runescape and noticed a certain scam going around. In Runescape, there are many people who would scam people, including their friends, just to gain a little more value. Well, one of the scams was the gold scam where they would trade an amount of gold with one less zero, hoping to scam an innocent player. This scam was thought of about a year ago in that game. Still works on people new to the game...but not on an experienced player. So ya...way out of the blue answer lol.

I reported a guy for trying it on me (I saved the neomails where he said he was going to offer a specific item, and then he switched it for some cheap crap).

I checked the next day and he was frozen. Moral of the story: if the lamer decides to try and scam other people and they report him too, it doesn't matter if you think there is no proof. TNT won't freeze you for false reporting because obviously something is fishy. People do these scams because they think its not reportable....but it is.

Or maybe I just had enough proof (between the neomails, the lot number, and his 3 day old acount.... :oops: )
