I kind of scammed someone, but it was back in Septemeber 2005 when I was new. Yes, I was evil.

I played falling chairs (yes, hard to believe) and I won a teacup teleporter. But it didn't connect (broken).
I was in my friend's trade room, wanting to get rid of it.

I traded with someone.
ME: I'm trading this teleporter.
HER: Cool! (Teleporters were 500 credits, which seemed expensive.)
ME: What's your offer?
HER: -places bling shirt -
We both accept.

I can't remember the full story because it was pretty much 2 1/2 years ago.

I also did an unfair trade but it wasn't my fault!

I made a store to get rid of my junk. I had 13 red candles.
A girl comes and she trades with me.
Her: I need red candles.
Me: What's your offer?
- places blue haunted mansion table -
Her: How many can I get with this?
Me: I'll give you all of them.
Her: ok!
- exit trade -
- take the 13 red candles away-
- trades-
Me:-places candles-
Her: - places exact same table -
- accepts trade -

I'm guessing she thought it was purple...

This is the first time anyone has ever tried anything, but This one girl started a trade with me. She explained that she would give me 5 star magic. I was all like "wow" and "why?" and she starts talking how she just wants to be a nice person and likes helping people out. So Im all like "sure, ok, thanks." She then explains to me that I need to give her my magic so she can turn it into 5. Then I say "lol" exit the trade and leave the room. I never reported her or anything

I have been a member since December and this was the first time! When VMK is about to close too. There are no "new" people to trick. People that dont understand how things work. If she really was telling truth, she could just give me her magic (like she claimed) and I combine them myself. I dont need her to combine them for me.

That same night a new person I added to my friends list asked to try on my stitch magic. Again this was the first time Ive ever been asked (had it since February) I politely said "sorry, no" but that I would demonstrate it for him. As soon as I did, I left.

Whats the deal? are people still that desperate? ...still? All the people who think I am rich and have everything I ask them how long theyve been on VMK, they all tell me 2 years... ...why? Why am I able to acquire so much in so little time? Im not on everyday, and when I am, I rarely play games. I dont even have mules.

Ok, this is really weird:

Scammer: Hi kind
Scammer: sir
Scammer: plz
Me: What's up?
Scammer: Will you please help the poor?
Scammer: plz
Scammer: help the poor
Scammer: we have nothing
Scammer: plz
Scammer: help me
Scammer: plz
(...)
Scammer: I got scammed by my friend when I was rich (yeah right)

Scammer was all the time busy with saying plz, it was annoying, so I was lieing to him that i had a lot of stuff (not) and that i was taking a look, but i was posting this.

I never said it was a scam. I said it was an unfair trade. Yes, I know the difference.

Ok, got another one. I immediately entered the magic shop, and before I even get to move my mouse I get a trade invite. He asks me if I have manshion pants (I wasnt wearing them at the time) He said that he would trade me rare for it. So I said what. He said a rare poster, one he got from the owner of VMK. So I ask him if he could show me it. Its the narnia sheild poster. I told him "lol, no" and close the trade window.

So in the room he goes on about how rare it is. I tell him I have like five of em. Then he claims his was different and that you cant sell it (because duh, theyre free). I then tell him that they probably will rerelease the pants. And he says the owner of VMK said they wouldnt. He then tells me that he can get the owner to give me a VIP badge. I checked his profile, and not only does he not have a VIP badge (because if he could truly get one, wouldnt he wear it?) but hes wearing several duplicates of the NPC pins!

This jerk really irritated me, because I knew he had mules... ...he had mules and he couldn't get the outfit I had... ...I got with no mules and started VMK after xmas 07! Thats as bad as having 3 year members claim theyre poor.

He then talks about how he lives at WDW, and how they dont have school there, blah blah blah. I then leave, because I was tired of listening to his nonsense.

Ive seen so many more of these scam artists ever since the closing of VMK announcement. (never got them before then)
