New Scam
 
There is a new scam, actually, you've probably all heard of it, anyway, it was the only time a scam has ever gotten past me. If someone makes an offer on something close to when your time is up, don't change anything, they are a scammer, I got scammed out of a 200g hat this way, so far, I've PKed 19g from the guy, so I ony got 181g to go, I figure I'll have it done in about 2 weeks. Anyway, don't fall for this scam, they will rent the stand and take your hat or item or whatever, don't do it. kthxbye.

(Heh, all meh enemies are gonna make fun of meh now for gettin scammed)

Wow, thanks for sharing that... even though I don't really know what you mean

Qwert616 02-10-2002 10:25 AM

After reading it twice...I think he means that when he is re-laying an object to change the price his time expires and he leaves the stand. While the other guy rents that stand...I think

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, and no, the purpose of this post isn't to complain, it's to spread the word about the scam so that it doesn't happen anymore. Like I said, I can PK the money from the guy in about 2 weeks.

hahah googi

i will pk him and steal your money ;)

Googi 02-10-2002 10:39 AM

Ahh, well, his name is [removed] right now, go and kill him if you wish. He carrys around like 7K with him.

(yeah, this will mean it's gonna take me like, 2 months to kill the guy enough to get back my money, but atleast he'll be PKed more)

FFusion 02-10-2002 10:46 AM

its not a scam, its your own stupidity.

Googi 02-10-2002 10:53 AM

Yeah, that's true...

Or maybe it was stupid of the guy to scam me, I have already started informing people of this scam, and I was able to stop him from stealing a panda hat, which is worth about twice what a zorro hat is worth.

Googi 02-10-2002 11:22 AM

Well, I've already screwed him about 10x more then 200g. So I'm happy now. Tell your friends about the scam though.

haha googi is just saying that so he doesn't look stupid bc he got scammed hahahaha loser

Googi 02-10-2002 11:37 AM

No, I think most of the Karakaze already knew it, since it only takes 1 member for the whole guild to know, and there aren't that many independant scammers anymore, so I think that the benefits of informing people about this far outweigh the risks.

its common sense. Kevin tried the same thing on me. He asked me if I would sell my soda hat for 175g which was on the stand earlier for 50g and no one wanted it. Don't you find it odd that a person offers a great amount of for something that was way cheaper a second ago. ofcourse i knew my what he was doing so i checked my stand time before.

oh and the soto thing is getting on my nerves. you don't have to post that in everyone of your posts you know.

Googi 02-11-2002 06:57 AM

...Now I gotta bug SK into adding something there to make it get put in the basket instead of staying laid down.

TrueHeaT 02-11-2002 09:39 AM

That is the most complicated scam I've heard of. Whoever can pull that one off is really smart and talented.

Googi 02-14-2002 10:52 PM

Umm...why did you bring this back?

This thread didn't work, it didn't inform people about the scam nor did it get the staff to get off their lazy asses to make NPC's that stop this illegal BS from happening (Which you would think should be easy considering the complication of some of the other stuff they make).

Because you shouldn't be stupid and fall for it, porkface.

Roffelz, good point.

Hopefully, soon I won't have to anymore.
