    Default Beware, Old Scams are Back

    I seen quite a few of these scam and sadly some have fallen for this, I would like to post this to warn everyone just in case, this is not a new scam, but many people have forgotten about it, thats why it works now.

    What they will do is, Person A will come to you and ask if you got a certain furni and will pay a lot more for it, most likely you will not have it and they will add ur in f/r and leave

    Then Person B comes along and sells the exact same time Person A asked for and a very high price but lower than what the Person A was prepared to pay, you might be encouraged to buy that item and sell to Person A to make a profit once you buy the item, Person A no longer wants it, this is a scam

    Person A and Person B are the same person, just trying to sell noob stuff for very high prices, I have been tried, but they failed

    I have seen some victims of this scam such as a person paid 350c for chinese red knot which is worth 1-2c

    I remember falling for that once! I bought a valentines cauldron without realizing it had just been given out in PayDay+ and it was a friend at the time who done it. I still made a profit though

    Not online very often

    I never knew of this scam. :/ It's suprising how many people make up tricks like these for pixels. there just pixels.
