Scam -obtaining money by means of deception including fake personalities, fake photos, fake template letters, non-existent addresses and phone numbers, forged documents.

A confidence trick, confidence game, or con for short (also known as a scam) is an attempt to intentionally mislead a person or persons (known as the mark) usually with the goal of financial or other gain.

This person is without a doubt scamming. It may not be a good one for those of us who double check. But, YES, it is an attempt to deceive people. There is plenty of room to say MagDef instead of Shield. They chose not to. It is a scam.

Obvious scam. And what you said is the scam. You sir, are blind.

Well it's a scam but and anyone who falls for stuff like that is just blind!

Yes, we as players must learn to double-check these things and pay more attention to detail. However, there are a lot of kids that play this game and in their haste to grab up a good deal, they might not have the same mind-set as an adult or a more experienced (older kids) player and might be scammed.

i see.. so its not a scam xD

Spirit 03-24-2008 05:17 PM

wth, lmao. I could ask why, because it does lead one to believe it is a scam. When I saw that same person with the same scroll, I thought it was a scam. Good catch, most of us, me included, never knew that.

Yes this isn't easy to catch - especially if you take for granted that ppl would actually type proper titles for items :/ ... I only found this out from my mistakes (no, this mistake only cost me about 150cc ^^). This error isn't limited to T3, but T1 as well (maybe T2, but I have not seen any).

Just the other day I was trying to buy M.Def scroll from Ruby, but it said I learned the skill already (even though I haven't). So I looked at the other recipe - oh looky, same title! Turns out I bought the Def recipe again and thus could not "relearn" it of course.

RIIIGGHHHTTT.....

Apologies to Uklyvian~

I would've assumed that its the description thats wrong, rather than the title of the scroll being wrong... though yeah... its the same for T1 Shield/MagDef production....

WELL someone could just as well buy a magic defence scrolls from Nina and try sell it for a lot of money too... so its good that we know we can look at the description to triple check

Who would buy something for 7.5g without looking over it?
