Lately I’ve noticed a massive increase in scams targeting newer and returning players, so I decided to make this thread as a warning hub.
Common scams currently going around: -Trust trades (“I’ll send later bro”) -Fake middlemen
-Loan scams -Market manipulation/bait pricing -Impersonating trusted players or faction members -“Too good to be true” giveaways
-Poker scams ("I'll double it for you")
-Quitting scams ("Quitting torn I'm giving it all away just send me $10m brother")
-bazaar manipulation (changing prices before many webs update)

If you know any scammers, suspicious players, or scam methods, post them here with proof/screenshots so others can avoid becoming victims.
The goal isn’t witch hunting — it’s player awareness and helping people stay safe.
I’ll keep updating this thread whenever new scam methods appear. If these warnings/help posts save you money or items and you want to support the effort, donations are appreciated but never required.
Stay safe and always double check your trades. love — ComradeGierek

That logic only works if you ignore how scams actually work. Scammers specifically target newer players who don’t know market values, trade systems, or common tricks yet.
By that logic, nobody should warn people about phishing, fraud and real-world scams either because “smart people won’t fall for it”. Awareness exists for a reason.
Not everyone has 10 years of Torn experience. The whole point of this thread is helping people learn before they lose hundreds of millions.
screenshots, trade logs, messages, whatever evidence is available. I'm not planning to label someone a scammer just because somebody says "he scammed me".
If someone posts a claim, I'll verify it before adding it to the list. That's literally the point of having a dedicated thread instead of random accusations scattered across the forum.
If you have a better verification method, I'm genuinely open to suggestions.
Kinda weird for him to do that since he's 40 days old as for today, but if you want to be 100% sure they HAVE the money they're talking about, ya can always check their networth.
Nah, those are the traders I trust the most. I had many interactions with them, many trades and the were sincerely helpful to me and many more people, hence their place in trusted traders
