I don't know if you have seen this guys or guy (maybe it's only one person with multiple players), they say they are buying steelys and other stuff very overpriced, like 11M for an Steely, then when you trade, they ask you to be quick in your trade, for no reason, so that they can grab your item without paying anything, when they put the price in the trade window, they inmediately cancel the trade. those guys can become really anoying in the FM and are ruining the game for the people who believes in the scam. Other famous type of scam is when you are selling high valueble items, 10M+, when the trade window opens, they put the value of your item but in 1/10, for example, if the items cost 15M, they put 1.5M, so you get excited about the trade and end up losing money. Please post have you seen them? how can we fight them? we must put a stop to this scammers alert others about this. Thank you.

You can't fight them. Hackers , as well as scammers, will never die. They will always be here. It's what makes Maplestory. A big part of it, believe it or not. ignore it. Thankyou. Have a good day.

Old scam. If someone is insistent on you being quick, or they keep canceling out of the trade window, just forget them and move on. Don't bother trading.

Ignoring people who take advantage of others for their own personal gain can never be ignored.

-double-E-Slap- You can try and stop them, but we all know that will never work. Even IF Nexon does something about this, there shall ALWAYS be atleast one person rebelling against Nexon. I accept them, they trade me. I play along, knowing not to fall for idiotic scams. But as for new players, they do not know. Whether or not we take actions, they will never leave. Lastly, the scammers are always old. Never knew. They use the SAME scam since BETA. It's old. Please, think of something better. -Goes to all scammers out there-
