Too many people selling currently available store items for more than they are worth. Be very careful everyone! They are pretending to be NooBies ! I have been kicked buy a few already. They don't want to be found out so they kick you if you act suspicious. Just click on their AVATAR and select View Badges. If they have a lot of badges then they may not be a NooB !!! Be careful what you buy and who you buy from.

Just a major heads up that's all.

Scammers/hackers/skidiots/script kiddies are just unbelievable... lol I always ask: " Why are u so desperate to steal fake $/items on an online game? Is your life in 'reality' that pathetic that u have to do this? " Wow-do they ever get mad! The rules are here for a reason and yes, the game can be played without breaking them. I know its hard to comprehend for those scammers but its fun w/o the scams! No one believes those scammers anyways... lol

Scammers are (UNMENTIONABLE).... Why do they try so hard to steal fake money and items on a game? It makes no sense. BVG has the rules in the game for a reason! No one can double money or sell VIP status or get quick cash with weebly scam sites or other scams... i just shake my head and laugh at them!

I believe that this is coming from those that have been banned.

That belief they can regroup, keep selling coins

and of course the all important 'hotwy' looks that have ruined some items for me forever.

Why cant there be a cap placed on items that are coin and still in the store ... so it's not possible to buy them for more then the in store value???

I know it might be difficult - but might be a fix for this issue.

I noticed the nude lamps are making a comeback. I used to make an event myself saying they are fake but now we have the handy report button. Just fyi to anyone who doesn't know. It's not an individual item you can buy outright even though scammers say it's a glitched item.

I wonder if we could get a sticky with such scams as the Nude Lamps and people wanting to by YC for AH since that is usually a scam. I even had a player admit he did that to me. G4G may or may not be a scam because people have gotten legit items for it but I do not participate myself.

Greg should compile a list of scams and make a pop up screen show when logging into game saying WARNING: (list) , so many people have no clue about these scams, although I hate freaking pop ups I think it is very well needed.

The ones about free cash,coins,items to read message box and have you go to a website and log in is the worst, i hope they can find a way to stop these people from advertising for them.
