    From what I've noticed so far, TNT has patched the bug where you could send items via Neofriend, then freeze the sending account,then accept the items on the account you sent to.

    But wouldn't common sense say to accept the item first, then freeze?
    Eh, makes sense that they would patch it anyway.

    Are you honest? There must be too many abuse for this that they caught on.
    So what happens with the item is that they freeze with the account too?
    I never used this feature before so I can't complain much.
    I hope someone confirms this.

    Heres how it used to work:
    1. Player A ABs a stamp worth 40mil.
    2. Player B creates a new account with fresh info/ip address.
    3. Player A (on diff. ip than player B ) sends the item to Player B via neofriend send.
    4. Player B does NOT accept the item until Player A is frozen or you self freeze.
    5. After Player A is frozen, Player B accepts the item and it is "clean".

    Yeah, but isn't that how TNT had been tracking the MSPP scams? On the boards, whenever a user scammed the tcg, every account that the card touched was subsequently scammed, and a few people I knew who tried it by this method got frozen as well, even though this is supposed to be the safest way.

    Well that was most likely due to the Player reports. TNT is not going to investigate a freeze for Abing ever
