The scammers are using a new technique to scam..
So they are pretending to be someone you know and someone you know is rich and being his Alt.
They are buying something really valuable like jacks/metojacks/Meto sets.
The person that pretends to be your friend will offer you any price you want!
Now, the poser knows you can trust the real one..
Ok, so before they buy your item they ask "to try it on"
yes yes! before they buy they will ask: "hey dude, may i try it on 1st? i wanna see how it looks on me."
I mean c'mon, like he doesn't know how it looks like..
And if you let him "try it on" they will run off with the item and you will never meet him again.
I already caught two scammers like that, that worked with the same trick..
- -KnifeParty-
- -ES46-
^posers! pretending to be alts..
Be aware!
Don't believe to any word they say after "may i try it on"
you have been warned!
As you all know, you will NOT get your stuff back.
thanks for telling people
I myself and im sure others too would be a lot more careful then just trusting someones word that they are my friend on an alt account I never knew they had
but thanks for warning people
Maybe they should make all verified membership sellers have a unique name. So people can't do -asmit10-, for example. I know a few people got scammed by -asmit10- and then asked me to give their items back.

to make things worse.. as it stands now you are listed as 'Purple' on the admin verified list
I don't think u even have a bot named Purple
the admin verified list is kinda a mess lately
hopefully it gets all worked out
How about making the people on the trusted list have a different colored name on the lobby list?

that too.
EDIT: Also, I don't think there's a need to list Mods/GMs on the verified seller list. Seems kind of redundant

Or a T next to their name

It's because selene put my name on the list before I became a mod / gm, but I edit that list now and I'm planning to update it with more information.
As far as the unique name / title goes, it seems like a good idea and hopefully we can think of some way to choose, screen and signify trusted sellers.

I giggled about it at 1st, but now it seems reasonable, people who pay their own money for the membership of an other should deserve an in-game siggy/tag..
I came up with a suggestion for the admin verified list you can check it out here
