    Hello fellow members,

    Firstly. You will never fully prevent scamming, EVER.

    This is something I'd like to bring to everyone's attention.
    It isn't every day you get scammed, but when it is it's a terrible, dehumanising feeling.

    If you ever do a trade or a service. Make sure that you meet them half way. Or use a trusted middleman.
    If you ever feel like something is a bit off, double check with them, or ask a friend / trusted member.
    Think before you trade, such as: If someone only ever accepts OSRS GP, just remember once the trade has been accepted, nothing can be revoked.

    Make sure the person if trusted confirms it is them by a private message.

    Please be aware that even people close to you will / can scam you, even friends in real life. People do extraordinary things over little > a lot of money.

    How I got scammed:
    'Person 1 said he can do a service, as I didn't have many vouches he asked me to go first, I said of course. He then followed that with he only accepts OSRS GP, I didn't think much of it at the time but thinking back once the GP is traded it can't be revoked, make sure you get a MM for GP trades and so on'

    I am simply looking out for the community, I lost $77 which isn't a lot, but to some people that's more than they can afford.

    I hope this has brought it more to your attention.

    Regards, Zenia.

    Nice sarcastic comment by yourself, at-least someone is trying to give advice to the communities attention, some people make this community so toxic.
    OT: Thanks for the awesome view.

    It sucks and thank you, good to spread awareness for stuff like this, especially people who run a server (business). When it takes their profits away and slows everything down.
