Scammers:

Potential Scammer [Do not trade with if you don't know this person]
Bunnyjin
FLCL
Fakefantasy
Kyoske

Scammer characteristics:
1. They will be very nice to you. Maybe tell you about his/her background or history... personal story.. they will seem to trust you a lot in the beginning.
2. They will then, ask for what/how much you are looking for. They will probably offer you nx. If you decline, they will offer more nx. Sometimes they will give you a surprisingly high offer.
3. They will say stuff like "brb, getting the cards. scratching the card". Then they will want to do do the trade item/gold first, telling you that they have trust issues. If you claim you do too, they will then offer some trade that is "half code first, then item, then the rest of the code." While this may somehow seem better than the first option, IT IS NOT. IT'S BASICALLY YOU GIVING THEM ITEM FIRST. People who use this option is most likely going to be a scammer/get scammed.

How not to get scammed:
1. No matter how desperate you are, never trade your item/NX first.
- trading NX is against the Nexon rules anyway, so if you report to Nexon about getting scammed, your account may get banned.
- if you are trading your item/NX first, consider them gone. You are taking a big risk by accepting their method of trade, usually no matter how nice they are and how much you trust them.
2. Ask in guild chat. If you are REALLY desperate and want to trade... you think the person is clean but you aren't 100% sure, always ask the guild.
-there are a lot of people in the guild... someone may have had some experience trading with them.
3. If anyone wants to try on your item and you don't have a shop, ask them for a collateral.
- Item or Gold that is worth equal to or more than your item. Make sure that if the person decides to run with your item, you won't mind keeping their item.
4. Some items differ in value because of very fine details. Always look things up in wikipedia and ask the guild.
- bat dress with and without ornament varies a lot in value, but the name of the item is exactly the same. etc...


*** Even the kindest player can and will scam you when they get the chance. Just because someone is your friend's friend, they are not your friend.
*** Even your own friend can scam you.
*** Trust only your guildies. Scammers are not allowed in the Path guild. Anyone with a history of scamming or has been reported for scamming WILL be kicked from the guild. [Do not attempt to scam anyone in or outside of guild. You WILL be kicked, officer, senior member, valued member etc.. You will also be written on scammer list in our guild site and I will be warning other big guilds about you, too.]


what if the person has been reported for the scamming falsely? /you know who this is ;D
