right do fast tick scams work

[zaphod9642]

well
do they?

i would like to make clear to everyone i am NOT going to do the scam i would never scam.

i cant think of how people fall for it (other than trying to beat it)

[lPinoy]

yes, it does work sometimes.

[Markeh]

I fell for it once... I was trading a Shishi, and the guy put the credits in, and said tick quickly. Ticked quickly, and lost out. Got 1 cred for the damn thing.
Yes, it works.

I've never really understood how the scam works.

[lPinoy]

its mostly cause everytime he shows the furni, your "desire" for it increases, so you end up agreeing.

well someone was doing the throne one and i got a hc and a throne, so it doesn't work all the time. :D

Lol, i always like the scammers which do it, i must of earned like 40hc of the sack for a hc scam, i just ticked when they fast ticked, lol.

Once, one of them who i fast ticked back traded me back for the sack 2hcs, lol.

I did get caught out many times myself though, dont tend to do it now :)

Oh that's so funny. A friend of mine got a grass patch (quite worthy in NL) out it. :P
If you just don't put anything in, and tick :D

Lost a black drag to it when they were released. Works because of human greed.

[Mr-Trainor]

lol, i lost a throne from it before :P

[zaphod9642]

wow lol i didnt think it worked on this many people


+ to all you people being all i quick ticked the scammer the scammers got smarter (and dumber abit) they dont tick with the first thing they just show

[alotest]

I won 2 thrones from it before - when someone does it to you add a hc and tick

[Sulai]

a good friend from school lost a T by this method.

Yes. It works because people think they can cheat them out of it! Just dont bother trying. You keep yours, They waste their time!

I've read all of your posts and still don't understand what happens? :S

is it a glitch, or do they (what i thought) put something in the box which just looks like the furni their going to trade? :S

You can only ever get scammed from quick trading if you take them on. I remember when I was about 12 and it was new years eve, we had champagne and because I was only 12 and had never drank before, 3 glasses of champagne had me tipsy and gave me the confidence to try and beat a quick trader. I lost a lot. :(

if your stupid - yes
if your dumb - no
there

[Monopoly]

works so well because even when people realize what's happening they try to "beat" the scammer.

it works like this.

the scammer says in a room buying throne 80 hcs and someone will trade them thinking they will get tones of profit for there throne then the scammer waits for the throne to go in the trade box then he/she puts in a hc or a couple then puts in a throne and ticks agree fast and then cancels the trade then the scammer opens the trade box again and this is where ppl fall for the scam they put there throne in and wait the scammer puts in a couple of hcs waits a couple of seconds and during these couple of seconds u are thinking the thrones coming next so u get ready to tick agree and then the scammer puts in a red plasto and ticks agree and u end up ticking agree before u relise it was a plasto thinking it was a throne and wanted to agree before the trade was closed.

hope that cleared things up for you
