The two by far most common, as well as oldest, scams in the game are The Armor Upgrade and Armor Coloring scams.
To cut straight to the point: Armors can not be upgraded, nor can they be colored - by anyone.
The most important thing in any trade is to use your common sense. If a deal sounds to good to be true - it probably is. Mind Ark sees every trade as final, and they will not help you just because you didn't think before handing over your gear in the hands of an anonymous avatar.
Many scammers are simply using your own greed as the tool of their operations. If someone tells you that they can upgrade your 15 PED pixie armor to a 20.000 PED Shadow for a fee of 50 PED, there is something very strange about it , don't you agree? But unfortunately, all scams are far from that obvious (and still, I assure you that countless people have fallen for these old Armor Scams - and more will in the future).
A really good and simple rule to cling on to in trading is this:
Never trade anything without security (collateral) that you can't afford to loose.
