[GUIDE] Scammer Tips

Okay we start first with the scammer's profile:

- has 100+ avatars but no more than 200 [exceptions are rare]
- no trophy [now they have about 2-3-4 trophies]
- speaks n00bish or gibberish [rare cases]
- has default avatar [also rare case]

Spoiler

Members who obviously know more than me can add other aspects

Now about the tips on how to avoid getting scammed:
- don't lend for free for those who request to
- don't go to their userlookups if they ask to
- don't listen to neomails stating to go to non-neopets . com sites
- don't lend in multiple trades/auctions
- don't "lend"/transfer your pets to unknown people on boards

I'm sure here there are more to add, but I don't want my computer to restart again and lose this topic a second time :tehe:

Hope it helped,

Good guide, but now the scammers know what to change

 

that looks like my main at the moment. I couldn't crack my ye oldeh account, so i guess i'm good XD

 

Nice work, at least it is a start: )
i hate scammers(but i also strongly dislike noob resellers offering way too much discount LOL)
But also someone who uses CGers ...

Does anyone have any tips against CGers?

 

I thought most of that was common knowledge, but for instance say myself I have about 150 avatars no trophies to speak of at the moment and I talk like a bit of a noob just for fun, does that make me a scammer xP

 

Hmmm. Im like this sometimes. I have like 4 trophies tho. So im safe

 

Thanx!!Now i'll know if someone is a scammer!!

 

is scamming bannable offense in neopets?

 

Heheee, yes ^^ it's strictly prohibited.

Also, I thought most/all of this guide was common knowledge. I mean, I wouldn't really call it a guide, but okay =P maybe some people don't know better..
