Its happened to me twice so far.

I post divs for sale, and someone posts an item up for trade for some high value. Lets say 50 divs (he posted it for in person trade).

I go to the hideout, and someone else trades me a VERY similar item.

Pretty sure the scam works like this
- They live search for In person trade items for high values
- They find the persons account name, and search for instant buyout items
- They teleport to the hideout and wait for someone to come in
- They they them a similar item hoping to intercept the trade

I suggest to only trade using the instant buyout to prevent having this happen

Didin't see this but glad to see I'm not the only person that encountered it... Scary

where's the scam?

Read my post and the one that the guy linked and it should make sense.

TLDR: Someone live searches for high value shit items. Goes to the person hideout and tries to intercept your trade. You end up accidently trading the "scammer" instead of the person from jsp.

The person from JSP isn't involved in the scam, its some random shitter / bot that tries to take your divines for free.
