NEW SCAM!

[Nubcaek]

Since the German servers have came out, there has been a new scam. People PM you buying stuff for a large amount of 'magic logs' and they tell you to come to their world. But instead of putting magic logs in, they put willow logs since the name is german you cannot read it.
Someone PMed me saying a friend told him that I was selling something he needed.. then I traded him with the dragon med for the 700 magic logs (see, it seems like a VERY good deal) but when I got back on the english servers, they were willows. I was not amused.
I couldn't report him either, because it had been over a minute.
It seems like a very cunning scam doesn't it, and I don't want people to keep falling for it.

im sorry to hear you got scammed :[

though a tip for future trading on the german servers would be to either have an english-german dictionary to hand, or failing that, a site that does translations

[Nubcaek]

Yeah.. :P I realised that after the trade, and rushed over to an english speaking server.

[Danny,]

he didnt get scammed this was posted on the official forums a few weeks ago he just copy and pasted it

[Nubcaek]

Erm, no I didn't.
I got scammed. -.-
And plus, I don't go on the forums.

[Humoured]

Erm I have had people attempt that on me, however I hold magic logs in the trade and no room for anything else so I can only recieve magic logs..
Also the start of magic logs name in german comes out as migiche or something.

[Nubcaek]

Good idea of the no inv space for willows.

[Royal]

Oh my thats clever.

[Nubcaek]

Yeah, I thought so too.

[Humoured]

Hope my method helped some of you guys <3

[T0M]

Good on ya for telling forum dude

[Barkseh2131]

No offence but it's not rocket science, something is obviously wrong if you are in a German world and you don't know German? That's like going in the middle of the road blind... something is bound to go wrong.

[Xuggle]

My stuff is crap anyway, so nobody would offer me lol!

It's like going in the road without being able to see the name of the car actually. That didn't make sense, did it? xD
