So, you want to not be scammed

Well! you're in the right place, hi, I'm Max, the anti scammer, scammer


so how do you avoid being scammed?

1. Recognition

As you can see, this guy is probably not the best guy to trade with, don't let the smexy name + pfp fool you!
This man is not your friend! (unless he is, ofc)

1.5 The Strategy

What I try to do, is set a trade with you, then add as much shit as possible, to bait you into adding shittons of money!

(I actually became friends with her after she fended off 2 mug attempts from me)

2. How to not get assf**kt

So you ignored #1, because of course you did, now what?
Well, you should use the magic of bluud bags, your faction would have a wide array so you can purposely take the wrong one and end up in the hospital

"But macks, why would I kill myself???????????!?!?!?!?!1!1/1/!/1"

So Macks can't mug you! silly.

So, if there's a checkmark it means it works (ya don't want it to work) so stick with the scenarios where it is blank and there's no checkmark!

Pressing update settings a few times for assurance!

Make sure you turn off your revives or ill just revive, accept/cancel, then mug

3. Home free? almost!

At this point the mac- scammer!... not macks is going to try to get you to accept an empty trade!

DO NOT ACCEPT A TRADE WITHOUT MONEY IN IT
I'll try to make you feel like you're dumb, but in reality, you're 100% correct, I AM supposed to put money in before you accept


I made this more for myself than anyone else, don't be stupid, don't help me buy my next torn porsche
I was inspired to make this after I was informed, giving away all my earnings from December doesn't relieve my sins from the other 11 months

some mean nubs downvoted, but the information still works

Post script
So bennyH (da best staffer)

told me I should prolly explain a bit more
in red circles are indicators that this is a mean or scamming person
On the top, i circled "Outcast" which means, this asshole gets lots of bounties





Then I circled the bounty symbol, you should prolly check bounty reason
And on the bottom, is the number of enemies this guys got, these aren't sure fire ways of finding out if someone is a scammer/dick but it helps


Also, make sure to NOT CHANGE your bazaar settings into letting enemies (people you blacklisted) buy from you
the default is not letting blacklisted people buy from you, just keep it like that

being a dick is arguably a lot worse than being a scammer, unless iff and only iff it's a buddy f**ker scammer, which is just the absolute worse of the worse
