Trying to become a member. I am in a few pay sites. I have taken a few things from them and will post them here. Maybe this will get me membership.

I am sure a few of you have seen this.

Beware the Trade Scam
This trade scam uses two people. The 1st person sets
up a private store to sell something at a higher than normal
cost. The 2nd person sets up a private store near the
1st person to buy that item that the 1st is selling, but at
a higher cost than what the 1st is selling it for. Heres the
trick though, the 2nd person must not have enough money
to purchase the item.

Example: A player sees a person (#2) who wants the buy a sword
for 100k. That player than sees a person (#1) selling that sword for
80k. The player thinks he can make a quick 20k and buys the sword
from person #1 and then tries to sell it to person #2, but person #2
doesn't have the money to buy it, so there is no sale. And the scammers
walk off with 80k from a sword that was worth a lot less.
