So you post an event they come and say ill trade you for say a mafia bat they add it in trade then cancel a few times then at the end they add a different item and click agree really fast. I know this is an old scam but people need to watch out for these predators and time wasters.

I've had people try that on me too. They'll say hurry I've gotta go or they act like they're not loading right. And yeah they try to put the wrong item in. I watch my trade box real good.

Good thing that I am in no hurry. I take my time to accept and make sure that the item is the one that I want. I always put the mouse over the item since back in the day people could put fake items in trade and the name would be the original item but with the picture of the one you were buying.

Or when they put random items into the trade boxes when all you wanted was one item.
