Well just before the patch, a scammer (weirdman63) or something like that, tried to pull a HURRY QUICK PATCH IS COMING! scam. Basically, he was selling an 11 atk WG, their usual prices are like... what? 150mil? So he offered 100mil and I'm like woah o_O can you lower the price even more? and he's like no. Anyway, i put in 100mil. He said to put in 99,999,999 because it's less tax, he DID show the 11atk wg in the trade window. Then I redid the trade because of the tax thing, and behold, he switches the gloves for 3dex ones and i put in the money, but, I knew he was pulling something =.= So I scrolled over the gloves to see that he switched them! to some crappy 3 dex gloves xD. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is... be careful of these scams, as it DOES work on many newbies and gullible people. Thanks, and have a nice day.

Good job on not getting scammed, I honestly believe 90% of the Maple community would have been taken by that guy.

What I like to do is after they do that, I go to them and stump them buy putting 99,999,999 up. Then they ask for 1 more meso. After I add 1 more meso up, they run out of things to say. xD

This is what happens when you rush things.. I did the opposite to a fast trade scammer. he bought my clean wg for 5mil.. Dumb scammers...
