There is a trade hack where the buyer puts the money up for the item and it says that the trade has succeeded as normal but the money never arrives in your inventory. The item has gone to their inventory as normal with trades. I saw the dude put the money in but it never arrived. Please be very careful. I was lucky that it wasn't anything expensive.

And... how exactly can we prevent this from happening, IF it's true?

You are both windians, the thread was made for EMS, not GMS o-o I think we are safe?

Sorry to break up the party guys! OT: You sure he didn't put up 99,999 mesos instead of 999,999 mesos or something similar? Kinda easy when your not paying attention and if you look at your money you may not notice a change since you were expecting it to go up by 1mil...

This is in EMS, I don't know what the stats are for GMS. I was gonna do a pygmy run for my birthday but I don't think I will now after this. @Scoat: No. I know that old trick of the "decimal misplacement" and I've seen it attempted. The dude put up 300K but ZERO NIENTE NADDA ZIP and ZILCH came onto my inv. I've seen every possible scam from that one to the old "tab tab space enter". Never worked and I always secretly ridiculed those that tried it on me.

No, it happened in Bera too... this is what happened. A) they will try to get your attention in the FM entrance. So their prices are gonna be higher than people usually buy them for. In this case he was buying 8 atk wgs for 24 mil. B) So I clicked trade with him and he put up 24 mil and i put up my 8atk wg. He also asked if that was my only one...which it was. C) after clicking trade, everything seems normal, but the money isn't in my account and the item was gone. I almost quit cause of that. Nexon should try and fix this issue...very scary. =(

That sort of scam is already in EMS for a long time, usually with ilbi/steely's, but I noticed there are way more of those scammers now that we have Hackshield. I've seen them buying gloves att 60% and overall int 30% this week. Most of the times they are buying for 1.1mil, 2.2mil, 3.3mil, 4.4mil, etc.

Oric said: "Sounds like to me the TS got scam and now is blaming a non existent hack." Never been scammed and never will. As I've already said I know the tricks they use and have never fallen for a single one. I've had a million and one people try and scam me and a million and two have failed. @Wazza I know that scam well and I have a name for it. It is called decimal misplacement (for obvious reasons if you've ever passed school level maths). Never fallen for it and never will. Both of you should go and get better reading comprehension skills and not go "itz a gurlllz she gotz ze scamz0rs l0l cuz gurlls r st00pid". Ye Gods my head hurts after typing that load of junk. The problem has been explained fully in proper English. If you want I can reiterate it in a language you will understand better.

The reason alot people aren't going to believe is we have to take your word. Plus this is basil alot of made up hacks are put up on this site. I'm sorry until I see actually proof this is a hoax. It is nearly immpossible to make a trade hack, chat hack or the infamous shop hack that was posted on SW. I'm sorry it sounds like to me you were scammed.

You are a fool, dont make up stuff to get attention. This "trade hack" would require packet editing, infact I dont think you could even do what you explained with packet editing. Dont waste my time again.
