Demand a COLATERAL! Demand something in return, such as two novice weapons for the good weapon, and make sure the market value of these total up to greater than or equal to the value of the good weapon you're "lending." That way, even if they don't give back the weapon, you can buy sell the crappy weapons and use the money to buy a new good weapon.

What you have to remember is that there will always be people that are very new to online games. I remember when I just started this game too, and I had very little knowledge from mmorpg's, and I tended to trust the people I met. Thankfully I almost immediately got myself a good mentor and a soc, so I didn't get scammed, but It could easily have been me. So I guess I am one of those "stupid" people that could have been an easy prey. It is good to hear that you are smart enough to not fall into the scammers hands.
