Another scam this time they offer stuff that looks like the item they're trying to sell. Like iron in the place of coal.

Hasn't that been around forever?
Always read the second trade screen and be prepared to laugh at yourself if you are scammed. :P

notice the giant flashing red ! if they change. and the second trade screen is there for a reason, so use it...

if we all used the second trade screen, there would be far less scammed players.

I fell for it once quite a long time ago (when the shift between be able to trust everyone and being able to trust no one occured :roll:) and ended up with 1k iron instead of 1k coal. It wasn't too big of a loss at least.

There he lay now, sick, miserable, filled with ill-will towards himself; full of hatred for the impulses toward life, full of suspicion of all that was still strong and happy.

Hah. I remember falling for the Yew/Willow logs scam about 2 years ago. Indeed, I felt stupid and laughed it off.

The worse when these kinds of scams happen is that if you cancel the trade, the other guy logs out of RS so fast that you can't even report...

Whenever I trade anyone, I write their name down somewhere, so if they do scam it's very easy to report them.

In spite of this, they should have a "report last trade" option, but that's beside the point :?
