Just got scammed out of 15m in an instant.

So basically I'm really stupid and just got ripped off hard. Someone posted a smega saying "FM18CH10 Quitting Sale, 1 meso items!" So I rush in, see about a hundred other people with maybe 6 or 7 shops set up. One says "Hold Enter + Click Fast" which made sense, because it would make the confirmation box go away, and clicking fast would give me a better chance to get in. But when the shop popped up, my mouse cursor was directly over a 15 mil item (a Ginger Ale fgs...) and since I was holding enter, it automatically confirmed the sale, and I just lost most of my money (I only have 45m left, was saving up for an atk glove.) While this may seem obvious to some (or most) of you, the possibility didn't occur to me at all - just a warning to those out there who've seen a message like that.

That's why you don't carry most of your money with you.
