I've been scammed many times so far, and would like to know any scams i should be watching out for. I've been character scammed (they give me a stripped account, wait till i put stuff on it, then pin reset on me..) already. Please contribute any scams you know of

We can't tell scams, because then people would do them.

Just pay close attention to what you are trading for, check that the stats are right before trading or check that the meso amount is right. Think twice before doing things the scammer tells you to do.

yeah use common sense, I don't really trust you.... About character scams?: Don't use ur ID / PW on any other site GIVE NO ONE UR ID / PW Take from no one ID / PW unless u got his email as well changed the pin and password changed the email and don't care having the slight chance of losing that character Don't buy any of those "S> 100M = 14.03 USD" Don't power level. USE COMMON SENSE! look before u buy think before u act
