Agent Insights Ep 15: Birthday Scam?


What's up guys! I'm here with another Agent Insights! Today, I will be discussing about whether I think the "It's my birthday, gift me" is a scam.

Well, first things first. Scams are called scams because you give away your items without knowing that you won't be getting them back. Take best trade wins for example. The scammer usually claims to return your items after you trade them. However, they will likely run away with your items after they have found a satisfactory item.

Therefore, is the "It's my birthday" a true scam? I do not really think so. I am not saying that there could still be deception at play, because they could be lying about their birthday to be gifted stuff. However, the difference is that you know you are giving your items away and you know that you won't be getting them back. Thus, it is a little different from a true scam, as explained in the above paragraph.

That's all from me today, until next post!
