...Girl decked out in Proto Gear in Haven today. Name not being mentioned, said girl said she was selling a 5* sword for 10Kcr. Conditions?
"But u have to giv me the 10000cr first or u might steal it from me."

Things wrong with her argument:
1) She was an Apprentice in Protogear. Why would she be selling a 5* piece of gear when it looked like she needed one?
2) If she DID have a 5* weapon, she'd know that 5* weapons cost more than 100K typically (I don't know a closer number, I don't buy 5* gear)
3) If she managed to get a 5* weapon through any means, she'd know the trading system only allows theft when one of the participants presses 'Confirm' prematurely.
4) When asked for any proof (Inspect on, trade-without-confirm etc), we were declined. 'We' being any other player within twenty paces.
5) One of the said people then offered to buy her supposed 5* sword. She refused to accept his trade.

When I told her that she was probably a scammer, and someone else mentioned t was a bannable offense, she told me: "u scam...youre life is a scam"

Moral of the story? Not all scammers are realistic.

We lolled about it for the next ten minutes over how fail the scam was. I'm not joking, it was plainly obvious she didn't have what she claimed to have.
