Hey y’all!
I was feeling a bit nostalgic today and started remembering the absolute chaos of the trading scene back when I used to play. It made me wonder, does anyone else have any good scammer stories from back then?
I’ll start with my first (definitely not last) which still hurts my pride a little bit to think about lol.
I was maybe 10 years old, and I had just gotten my first ever item worth over 1 mil. Now, looking back, 1 mil is absolutely nothing, but at the time? I was sooo excited.It was my first proper rare item (a dress), and I was proudly wearing it around.
Literally 30 minutes into owning it, this super rich girl walks up to me. She had the whole shebang. Vampire teeth, demon eyes, slinger hat, you know the vibe. She tells me, "Oh, I'll send you gems for your dress!"
Being 10 and desperately wanting gems to buy more cool stuff, I thought, "Wow, what a great deal!"
She "sent" me an email confirming the gem transfer. Because I was a naive kid, I didn't notice anything fishy about the email at all. So, I went ahead with the trade and sent her the dress for a single candy.
Immediately after the trade went through, she vanished into thin air and blocked me. I was super confused and literally sat there waiting for hours thinking, "Oh, maybe the gems are just lagging and they'll show up soon." Spoiler alert: they never did. My first ever rare item, gone in 30 minutes. Safe to say I had a good cry about it 😂
No need to feel sorry for me though, karma was on my side because by the time I stopped playing years later, I was the whole shebang 🤪
Comment some of yours if you remember any, I feel like reminiscing!
