I agree, this is becoming a greater problem.

I think one of the best things to do would be utilizing something already practiced by some of the Kingdoms in graal.

What I am talking about is 'black listing.' Got scammed by someone? Submit their name. More people getting scammed by that person? Black list them and spread the word. It's just like what some volunteer organizations do to SPAMmers. Finding out who provides the tools for the people, and then setup the road blocks.

While it's sad to say, part of trading should involve checking this black list. That way you avoid some of this scamming as much as possible.

This trade black list shouldn't be based on the current black lists in use. This would be unfair to them as some of these lists are unrelated to scamming incidents, but might also be due to personal vendettas.

I would suggest a council be formed from members within kingdoms and without. Perhaps manned by six or seven members, and voted in by the community. These people would review the list, review submissions, hold votes and maintain the black list. They would also listen to challenges, and remove people when they turn a new leaf. One of the things I am big on is forgiveness, and even the biggest scammer can turn legit if they are promptly banned from all trade from informed players.
