Hello, everyone. Flint here, to talk about a type of scam we haven't covered yet. Someone commented on our blog telling us about it, so we figured we'd talk about it.
This scam occurs two different ways on AJ and AJ Classic. First, I'll talk about the AJ Classic version. This scam occurs when you have something good on your trade, and someone trades you one item that's an overtrade, as well as a bunch of necklaces or similar cheap store-bought junk. If you take the time to look through the list, they will cancel for being 'too slow'. This process will repeat until you aren't actually checking the list and are just trying to accept as fast as possible. Once they have you doing this, they will accept the trade, but the good item will have been removed, leaving you with all the cheap junk and without your rare.
The second version of this scam occurs on AJ/AJPW. This scam occurs when someone will trade you one good item and a bunch of bad items for your good item. They will then remove the good item, and attempt to accept the trade before you notice its absence.
Note that sometimes the list filler items are all the same item, and sometimes it's a variety of cheap store-bought items. It doesn't really matter, except that the items being all the same make them easier to notice.
This scam can be easily identified by having someone try to trade you one good item and a bunch of bad store-bought items (or RIMS if the item is high-value enough). If someone tries to do this to you, ask them to remove the filler items and only trade you the good item. If they refuse for any reason, they're trying to scam you.
That's all for today. Remember to be suspicious of any trade that contains tons of filler items. Goodbye!
