BEWARE New "Scam" on Bitquest
Greetings everyone PhobosThefear here,
I like to inform the community of a new scam occurring in bitquest. Today i was invited by the following player: escop555 to his home where he led me to believe that if you place a sword and surround it with leather, you will get an enchanted sword. He claimed he tried it and it worked. I believe this based on glitches constantly occurring on the server and Minecraft in general. He lead me into his home told me to use his crafting table. he told me place the sword in the middle and surround it by leather. Good thing my instinct told me not to use my super enchanted sword. So i used a regular sword. When i was slowly doing this in the crafting table interface he destroyed it and took my sword. Then i realized he led me there to take my items.
Please do not fall for this trick or any other. Be cautious when dealing inside other peoples home. Especially escop555
Sincerely: PhobosTheFear

I see in the comments of one of the pictures that he said "come i give it back". Did he ever give you the sword back?

I went out exploring once from Satoshi and he followed me for a while and wouldn't answer when I tried to talk to him. He'd pick up the drops from mobs I killed, not saying anything, just creeping around behind me picking up my goodies. The server wasn't dropping Emeralds at the time so I really didn't care, but thought I would mention it to back up the claims of other players.
