Since a lot of players tried this stuff, maybe newcomers aren't yet sure how the game works and need some help. xP
These are some common scams tried by players in game:
-Free membership
This a type of scam I see often in-game. A player, usually with a fake GM name, looks for higher level accounts (because they are so better than low level accounts)/lower level accounts (thinking they are noobs and they are easier to scam). They attempt this by offering a free membership for a long time: 1year, 2 years, or a permanent membership. They will ask for your account info and say that they will charge your membership in 10minutes. This is fake. You don't need to give away your ID and pass for a membership!

Unless it 's "GM Allie", "GM Santa", or "GM Faith", the person is trying to scam you. Never believe them. ;D
-"account update/level update"
This has happened once or twice to me. A guy said he was GM Santa, and he needed my account info to update it, otherwise he would have banned me. Obviously, this is a scam, because a GM would use his GM account for such business. Also remember that updates come when you run the updater (like in BOTS) and only real GM's can edit your account through the database. See below for more info about fake GMs and stuff.

-"Buying your account for 50$"
A couple days ago, some guy asked to buy my account for 55$. That is obviously a scam. This gives you a chance to scam the scammer, as well as have fun with him/her. Even if you get an amount of $ for your account, it's against the rules to share your account/account info, unless you have a GM's permission. You must always ask for permission first, and chances are they will say no. ;D
PS:If the $ thing doesn't work, he will try with different "payments" such as staff positions, free coins, gigas etc.

IMPERSONATORS - How to recognize fake GM's from real GM's
If a player that has a GM name asks you for anything, be sure he is a real gm by checking a couple things.
Real GM's:
-Global chat (orange)
-One space in their name:
GM Allie= real
GM Allie= fake
Fake GMs
-Common black/purple chat
-Differences in their name
GM.Allie = fake because it have a dot
GM Allie = fake, has 2 spaces
[GM]Allie = fake, GMs doesnt have [] in their name
gm allie = GMs use capital letters ;D
If you find out that there is an impersonator, report him in the appropriate section (http://boutcheetah.zylongaming.com/index.php?board=13.0), even if they didn't try to scam you.
So I thought this could help newcomers as well as other players. Feel free to correct, suggest, give new examples of scammers, and anything else that comes to mind. Just please don't be rude.

Annoying orange is saying that. And I'm the numero 1 fan of it. SO IT'S MINE. : P
tyvm for this nub guide bcuz i nub. stiki also plz pro gide is pro.
All I have to say about mrhappy's part of the guide is this:
Mrhappy is the richest legit player, other than burn0ut who got rich winning a contest.
Mrhappy, as far as I know, made all his money legit.
If he makes his profit by buying for low and selling for high, it's legit, and his money shows it.

Who is Random?
He sounds like a downy. Had to be said. If you see what i do selling things and making a profit then why dont you do it? And i dont mug people off , this is because i dont force them to buy the item for a high price or i do not even force the price . I ask people to offer end of.
And Thnkz Tricky :D
Yes, they offer and you make the price higher than they have offered ::).
