Share your sad/raging/embarrassing moments when you got scammed when you were back in your noob days. (I'm still in my noobdays ;_;) I'll go first :D I played in Scania last year for a couple of RL friends and of course, I was new to everything. Grinded on monsters and a Chaos scroll dropped. I got all psyched out since it was a scroll so I asked my friend how much they went for and he bought it off me for 3m when it actually went for 100m. In the next hour, another Chaos dropped and luckily, I sold it in fm. Even today, my friends still bring it up ><

arrlm34352 the person that got the Hwabis was probably the scammers friend. they usually bring their friend along pretending they don't know them and give them an item and later gets it back to make it look legit and not a scam. and when they get the items, they usually split it xD

Kerning ore shop, some people convinced to drop my pan lid at the bottom right while they're on the other side. Turned out someone was hiding behind the pipe. x|

When I got scammed, finding a Pan Lid meant you were a friggen legend. It was worth 100k, which is like 100mil to us back then. When I was on Orbis Ship Ch 1, a guy asked me if I wanted to dupe it, ( Back then, this scam wasn't that common and we noobs didn't know ANYTHING ) so of course I said yeah, but hid my excitement. ( Really : OMFG, DUPE MAH LID ? I'M IN ) So yeah, put it in trade, click trade but don't click enter, yada yada yada. Type in Multiply and press enter. Boom it traded, and he made off with my Pan Lid. /end.

I've never gotten scammed before. It's funny watching them try to scam me though.
