I am sure lots have seen this but I just did for the first time tonight so posting a heads up since it has been awhile since many of us were actively playing....forgive me if it is old news. People asking for a yocash dealer to come and purchase them a yocash item from the auction house.....when really it is their own item they are trying to unload....just grrrrrr......it may be old news but it is new to me tonight. I would suggest maybe not doing this for people unless you know them well or they are willing to pay for the item upfront. It is just sad that we have to be constantly doubting people but I guess that is the way it has to be.

People are always able to figure out ways to game the system, aren't they?

Sad but true and I hope this saves a few people from losing their hard earned money and being stuck with items they do not want.

My personal advice for all YoCash dealers would be to NOT make auction house purchases for people period and stick with store items only.

Thanks for posting this. I haven't heard of this before and never even thought of such a thing. We have to admit it is a smart way of scamming tho LOL (doesn't mean I like it of course)

Even begging is more honest and harmless than trying to scam people... sorry if anyone has fallen for that.

In reply to all the TYs......you are welcome...the only way to beat these guys is to pass it on so people can be forewarned....maybe eventually they will give up and play honestly or even better just go away!
