Never drop anything on the ground!

another trade scam is not putting everything in the trade window or removing their item at the right time, you click agree and their item is not in.
check all traded items carefully before you click Accept!
Good points.

The key to avoiding "trade scams" is to never be in a hurry to conduct a trade.
Carefully review the items being offered, and make sure all that is expected is there, before clicking confirm.
Then, carefully review the summary of the trade, before clicking accept.

If you fail to do this, you made the scam possible, and are as much to blame as the scammer. You MUST approach the trade from this perspective.
