Finally got trade scammed after 1000+ trades

Switching to PoE from Diablo 2 has been such a great experience. The game, developers and community as a whole are so much better. People are really friendly and honest when it comes to trading, many times I've put too much currency into a trade box but the other person didn't accept until I realised my own mistake.
I remember the D2 days where people would try to scam in so many different ways; make you put your password into /afk, teleport in town during drop trades, swap items in trade box... Just to name a few.
As a kid I probably got scammed 3-4 times in total, and that was it - almost!

Game was windowed in 800x600, which is why I didn't notice the missing stack immediately. *Sigh*
Got really pissed at first, but then again it doesn't really hurt my currency. And hey, maybe this kid will have a higher quality boost of the game than I would with them.

Obviously my own fault not to check carefully - lesson learned! Oh boy, what a lesson indeed...

The very next day this happened. I was buying The Doctor, and while I was filling in chaos orbs the guy suddenly closed the window and acted like he had to empty his inventory. Next thing you know he swapped cards! Wow
I can't hate too much at the first incidence, but holy shit... trying to scam people out of 540 chaos? That's just mean. I just can't believe anyone would do this, I've never scammed anyone or even attempted to do so. pffft
I suppose this is a perfectly legal thing to do, as the hover requirement is intended to be your insurance. Wonder how many people he scammed so far though...


Be careful out there people!

trading (puke)

Is their a reason you didn't look it the card? It forces you look if it swapped.

^
Why would they bother, it's not that scams happen so often and new topics are opened every day...

All those nasty nasty people!

I didn't fall for the card trick boys. Screenshots removed because support apparantly wants to protect cheaters and scammers from the public shame that they in fact deserve

anyway here I've crossed out their names

The irony of the scammer putting "the gentlemen" card in the trade window.
