As a Rare Values Reporter I trade a lot of rares, The latest scam I have come across is the Bronze Dragon scam. What they do is try to trade you a very similar looking Red Dragon, So always make sure that it is a Bronze Dragon by hovering your pointer over it and reading the little name that comes up at the bottom of the trades box. Two of my friends have already been scammed by this. My advice on this is don't buy a Bronze Dragon of someone if you are tired or have consumed alcahol because if it is a scam your most likely to get caught out.
I hope I have helped you all. :)

If you were drunk you wouldn't care or know what you're doing tbh.

At the end of the day it's their fault for being so careless. They can't complain.

Well..?
Habbo have started to ban people for scamming now so if you maybe got a screenshot providing enough evidence then yes, I suppose you could. Your not thinking of doing it yourself are you? :O

Well, it isn't a scam really.. you could have just got the two mixed up!

True, although I think most people do it intentionally ;)

How are you going to get a screenshot though?

One screen shot when you're about to tick,
Second when you have ticked,
Third when you've put it down?

I'd rather not get scammed than getting someone banned.
