The 'Idiotic Scam Attempt' Thread
Because it's been happening to me a lot recently.


From today:
I had just put up a 'Valefor Academy: Magical Engineering' item on the MP (1.9mil), and got this pm:
hi there! ill trade you magenta sultan's turban for your magical engineering rig. i know you probably dont want this item for keeps but you get an extreme profit. so is it a deal?

After taking a quick lookie loo at said item's MP page, it's painfully obvious that it's horribly horribly inflated.
And by inflated, i mean the lowest listing is 21mil, yet the abp is 5k.
I lol'd

Oh god I hate when people pull that.
Especially if I'm like in the exchange and they offer me something that has an ABP of 120k but the LBP is like 3mill. Lol

Hahaha, I tend to sell on my mule which has profile comments/pm's disable. While it's a lot less hassle, I do miss out on the laughs. Think I'll list a few things to see if I get any, slow night for me anyways.
