Attention Traders!
We'd like to remind all of our members to be careful when using the Trades. Here are a few helpful tips to make sure you don't accidentally fall victim to a trick or innocent mistake:
1. Make sure the offer isn't missing a zero. If you are asking for 1,000,000 sP on an item, check to ensure that you aren't being offered 100,000 sP instead.
2. Check to make sure that the sP amount has been typed into the actual sP box and not the Message box.
3. If you are trading your item for other items, double-check the value of the items in the offer. It's not always safe to take the other user's word on the value; just because someone tells you that their Pink Bobber (for example) is rare and valuable doesn't mean it's true!
If you feel that someone has intentionally scammed you, be sure to report the user to an appropriate member of staff.

Well. Guess the staff decided that too many people were getting scammed by people typing in the message box instead of the actual sP box.
