Dillon Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Lately as I have been searching the trading post for paint brushes I have seen people attempting to scam people by tricking them saying that Plushies are the real thing. Its disgraceful. So I report them. What do you think?
Ruto Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Oh, I usually report scammers, unless it's just a chain letter, then it's not worth my time. But all in all, scammers are stupid/lazy.
Dillon Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 I typically report them. one of them I saw admited to scamming because he got scammed/
Ellie_Penguin Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I think what annoys me the most is the scammers that offer junk trades on expensive items.
antiaircraft Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 As I don't go on the trades much, I don't really notice, but I do agree that they're just disgraceful.
RukarioBomb Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 They're idiots who hope idiots fall for their idiotic tricks. And/or they are lazy, evil, good-for-nothing. If they're going to cheat on a virtual pet site, they might as well get a living stealing infants' lollipops.
Dillon Posted August 22, 2007 Author Posted August 22, 2007 I think its sad to scam people for nothing what do you get out of it. A few pixels. Cool!
Volcom Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I think its sad to scam people for nothing what do you get out of it. A few pixels. Cool! LoL Yea, Its sad how far people will go to scam someone of afew pixels.
Stephi Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I think they should be reported. There are unknowing neopians out there that are going to give them the hard earned NPs and then go to paint their pet and all it's going to say is "play". Although, I can understand why they are so tempting to be scammed by (as in buying one if it were true) how awesome would it be to have a plushie faerie pet? My sister was frozen because she had a ton of the plushie brushes and had them in trades, with nothing in her wishlist, and another girl offered her some obscene amount of NPs (at the time probably 100k) and my sister accepted and never tried to correct the girl... so the girl reported her saying that my sister had told her it was a real paintbrush and refused to pay her back. She lost a great account... it was terrible.
icydragon359 Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 ow much is the last piece of Se Lab Map worth now???
Dillon Posted December 14, 2007 Author Posted December 14, 2007 Its worth between 500-700 k and up. but somethimes you can find good deals. Although you did gravedig and made this irreleveant.
Hubert Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I bought the whole (I thought that) map, but it was only 1-8 and another 4#. Then I sold it, but i didn't scam, because I haven't said anything about the whole map...
Izzy ♥ Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 The last piece of the lab map isn't worth that much any more - Tarla gave it out and now its back down around 50k again. Anyway, on topic, I think scammers are just silly XD Neo is just a game after all, why steal virtual items/money?
nannerz Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Scamming on the Trading Post is annoying and evil. <_< I hate it most when people offer junk on good items...I'm always afraid I'll misclick and end up accepting. Trying to trick people with fake/plushie/or whatever versions of good items is also evil and only preys on inexperienced players who typically have less np as it is.
DOOM Bringer Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I've noticed that some people who try to scam on the Trading Post generally do it in the first few seconds of the trade being listed. They check the 20 newest trades and if they see something valuable they'll offer junk. It's happened to me plenty of times.
antiaircraft Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Luckily enough for me I rarely go to the trading post then - I've gotten one or two junk offers in my time though.
