Good luck scamming, the only way you are going to get away with scamming like this is if your victim is a half-brain retard. :-p
You get get away with it if the person doesn't check.
probably the most non-efficient way to scam anyways :p
I don't accept PM Offers/trades...If i'm selling an item in the market, it's what I want from it.
Silly Scam.
Indeed, i think it's funny people go around thinking/hoping everyone is dumb enough to get scammed this easily.Quote:

You tried.
I don't get the diff between any gen items, they all seem to do the same stuff.
Scamming seems like a dying way to fool people on Gaia.
The only people who fall for anything anymore are newbies looking for quick gold, since most people play it safe with their cherished accounts.
@Flaming Falcon
They all have the same, but gen 1 can/will sell higher than gen 3 so its that sorta thing.
I could see that scam working. it's a horrible thing, but I could see it working easily. I always check mine. but you get some one who is questing and offer a trade I could see them jumping on it. Almost makes me wanna try and see if it works xD
Yeah I know they all go for different prices but why have replicas of an item? :/
I have no clue what any of that means, so I guess I'd be dumb enough to fall for it.
Although I'd probably not give a shit to do the trade since I don't know what those items even are.
Hehehe nice try
In all honesty I don't even know the difference, even after you highlighted all of that stuff, haha.
Anywhere care to enlighten me? Because now I'm moderately concerned ;P
As I understand it, there are Gaia items with the same name -- when he proposed a trade, he linked to a particular valuable item by that name. When the trade was being made, he instead added a much lesser valuable item by the same name in hopes that the receiver wouldn't notice the swap.
old schoool
