A cautionary tale for those with a sticky mouse

Lost 2.2m in one of the most common scams (but mostly my fault, if not completely)...

 

 

 

So, there I was, merchanting, as usual, in the east corner of fally world 2.

 

Level 3 pops up, buying with 4.4m.

 

Yeah, obvious scam.

 

So I trade, he offers the full money on my zammy (shock! horror!)

 

I think: Definately a scam.

 

So I go through with the trade, so I can report and make sure no-one gets hurt by the scam (because I'm too idiotic for my own good :roll: ).

 

But, to my horror, my mouse stuck, and ended on 'accept' instead of 'decline' (I was already on the second page)

 

So I message him, politely asking (by my standards) if I can have my stuff back for extra money.

 

No such luck, (hey, it was a long shot), and I've lost 2.2m

 

 

 

Yeah, basic scam, I know. Hell, stupidity gets the better of us all sometimes.

 

 

 

Just make sure you keep your mouse clean!

Just don't trade what you know is a scam. You'll never lose anything then.

You see, this is what i hate about the forum people - you all start flaming someone because they were trying to catch a scammer red-handed so he would be lost from the game. I know hundreds who do this, it was just bad luck. perhaps if you read this post, subconciously you'll go out and buy a new infra-red mouse or go against your first instincts to trade an obvious scammer with a conventional mouse. And queenbee, did you report him?

Anyway, bad move on your part. Keep merchanting and you'll get it back in no time.

I hate signatures.

then do what i do, have 1 pair of recharce'able batteries in the mouse, and another pair ready.

 

 

 

When changing batteries, recharge the empty pair so you always have another pair.

 

 

 

_Because its not fun when fighting some high level monster, barrows, kbd, kq when you need new batteries :lol:

I paid 45k for an iron battle axe because I wanted to be smart :P . Sorry for the 2.2m though...

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.
