It doesn't really matter if people see this but I just wanted to send out a warning againt this "new" method of scamming. It's not really new but it's more frequent now than before, and there are some people who don't realize it's a scam.

It's basically where someone will ask for a hard to find, but worthless, item in exchange for their list of really good items. This giveaway seems like a good deal, right? But these items are so obscure usually no one has them. So that's where the scammer brings in their spare account that has the uncommon item. They do this because they hope other jammers will overtrade their spare to get the worthless item.

Just recently, someone tried to scam me and some others like this. I have photo proof, which I will post here. The scammer promised two longs and a party hat in exchange for purple sunglasses. Of course, only their spare had the glasses. The spare even said that they're "not a fan of party hats" and instead liked spikes, so they wanted other jammers to trade them spikes for the sunglasses. Obviously, this makes no sense, because the scammer was literally offering spikes in the first place.

I censored any users that I didn't think were involved in the scam, but I left the spare and main in there. I don't know if they are 100% the main, but they certainly were the scammer!

Stay safe around scammers!
