    Default Trade Scam

    This Scam has become more popular and I just wanted to warn you guys, this normally happens in Trade City.

    The scammer shouts: "Selling Sack 1 HC" or " Buying HC for 1 sack" something along those lines, then the victim thinking theyre making a profit will trade them, the scammer will fast click, he/she places the sack and checks the agree box on and off, then the scammer says "Too slow agree faster". The victim then desperate for the sack will trade he/she and then offer his/her HC, the scammer will then put one credit and since youve already clicked agree to get it quicker the scammer gets a giant profit and you lose your hc sofa.

    Just wanted to warn you guys be careful while trading, especially in trade city.

    Thanks

    i don't get that scam :S

    First, he puts the sack there, then another coin :S?
    That means that he puts more than 20 credits ?
