    May I point old, that just because a scam is 'old' doesn't mean people will know about it.

    I remember a lot of people trying to scam this way when Grass Patches first came out!

    Tactic is widely popular in any game. Most people don't take those second chances to check out the item.

    In most cases Staff can't do anything because they see it as an exchange, not a scam. A user could complain they were confused.

    I fell for a similar scam (taking out a gbar at the last second). Happened to me about a year ago or so i think.

    But yeah, these types of scams have existed for a long time, and will continue to do so unless habbo introduce new anti scam measures.
    Bonjour, la noirceur, mon vieil ami
    Je suis venu te reparler
    Car une vision piétinante doucement
    A laissé ses graines lorsque je dormais
    Et la vision
    Qui était plantée dans mon cerveau
    Demeure toujours
    Parmi le son du silence
