Treasure patch / Hay SCAM

[azzaman1234]

Just to let everyone know, someone tried scamming me earlier by selling me a treasure patch but actually trading a hay patch (or whatever its called) They look very similar in the trade window but a lot different up close.

Be warned, it's happening a lot recently, several of my friends have been victims to this scam.

Trade safe.

People keep trying this on me. Tbh it's quite obvious compared to the jade/turquoise laser.

Reminds me of the petal patch/ grass patch scam :/

Yeah I remember a while back this happened to me, it's a stupid, little scam and people try it on just about everything they think they can get away with :P.

LMAO I would never buy a treasure patch they are so disgusting so I wouldn't fall for this.

Urg at that screeny just shows how stupid and unlike they are.

[Mr-Trainor]

show us the name!
I would but it'd be against the rules :P. Was just a new account though, so someones clone - so revealing the name wouldn't reveal who it really is (i.e. their main account).

I don't get that rule. What is point in having a scam section if you can't reveal the scammers :s

So that people are aware of the methods people may use to try and scam you. e.g. now people know to be careful when buying treasure patches :P.

I wish we could reveal the names but more people would abuse it - if it was allowed.
