Never trade with strangers.
I Know when I was in rally once. This boy was talking to multiple people. Telling them he'd do that one thing and duplicate all there high costing items. I feel bad for the people that did it. :/
Because he came to me next and told me he could duplicate my ancient Katana. So I said i'll think about it. He waited. While he did ( I new it was a scam) I went on his profile. Hes an complete idiot for this. He had a friend on his account saying, " So did you scam a katana from anyone yet" and multiple comments referring to scamming multiple items from people. So when I came back. He asked if I was ready. I told him" No i'm not trading with you, and you might want to not have those type of comments on your profile ; )" and I left : ).

BEWARE PEOPLE LIKE THAT D<

S.T.F.U. Shroom will Speak
There was one in the gaia exchange forum, a guy actually, when you trade with him like he buys your coco for 650k then when you accept the trade(green button) his money suddenly turns into 65k. How can we notice those? I really need to know how to avoid that stuff.

BIG TIP: if someone wants to trade winter rose put mouse over it and see the name. if its not winter rose report that person immediatley.


OMG...That's what happened to me! This girl said she would trade me a Winter Rose for my belt and when I looked in my inventory,I didn't see the Winter Rose....O_O

also,theres a website called localgamers.since anyone can pm me,i kept on getting pms like"you want more gold?join localgamers to get filthy rich!!"and blahblahblah.but,it was the same exact pm from difrent ppl
