First time I've seen this method deployed, so it is new to me. So there is 2 people involved in this scam, let's call them Person A and Person B (original eh...) Person A stands on top left corner of FM and person B stands on bottom right of FM Both are within close proximity (i.e. able to see both characters on one screen) Person A - "S > Ink Bottle 50mil ONLY" Person B - "B > Ink Bottle 76mil EACH" Mehh, being the newby that I am, I was clueless what Ink Bottle was, so I made quick check on HS and found it to be an etc drop from Squids 0_o By the time I got back on MS, a 3rd person bought Ink Bottle from Person A and was trying to sell to Person B Immediately both Person A and B left, so I traded 3rd person, he told me he gave 6ATK WG and 40mil to Person A, and had no money left 0_o Sighh, I gave him 1mil out of generosity xD The only person I recall was person A, his IGN is WarriorMach and of course plays on Scania Tried to screenshot it, but for some reason it didn't work. I'll try to catch them again later and post picture. So the moral is, if it's too good to be true, then it's defintely too good to be true Keep safe, think before you buy! ^^ ~~~ Happy Mapling ~~~

That's not really a new scam method... someone sells low, someone else is buying that same thing really high. Don't you think that they would have found each other by then? Get with the times son...

Question: Is this really considered a scam? Just wondering.

@kamaz. That's not how it works. Ink bottles are worthless, it's just a trap to get someone to buy something really high, then when someone buys it, they leave. So yu just wasted 50m on a 1k item

Nah, man, this is very old. Anyway, it was pretty foolish of you posting a mini guide on "How to scam". You are encouraging others.. Just saying.

If you think about it, it isn't really classified as a scam o.o
