Afternoon All
New player here, got a message as follows.

"Hello,Player. Do you want to make some quick money? My friend Nicol-Bolas[2634386] want to get a merit which needs people lost to he. I will pay you 50k if you lose to him AND YOU CAN REPEAT IT TO GET MORE MONEY. Attack "PERSON, also link to their page"  You can wait until you have energy or are out from hospital to attack again. Remember TIME OUT DONT COUNTS, you need to use fist after start attack to lose

Is this spam? or a trap, because it screams sus to me.

Discussion of the same topic: Why are you robbing me?

tldr: It’s a trap, since losses go for 250k-350k, people are trying to make you sell your energy for much less than their true value.

Edit:

Advertising

 

Promoting content, products, games, websites, or services that are unrelated to Torn. Torn related advertising should only be made, promoted, or bumped by the one providing the product or service, in the appropriate area. Forum karma should never be bought or sold.

If this message is viewed as an advertisement to buy losses, does this mean the sender of the message has violated the advertising rule? 🤔

50k is very much below the going market rate of losses. This is spam at best, a scam at worst.

It's not necessarily a scam. But its a low ball. Like the above post, losses are worth roughly 5×+ what they're offering.  

It's just a shit bag cheating faction spamming mass messages to take advantage of new players who don't know their energy worth.

Ahhh I used to do this all the time a few years ago now I just pay going rate but still good times 

Thanks for the responses, and appreciate your time, all of you! :)
