A small but annoying scam that I fell for ...lending someone a basic cheap item. Repairing my implant a guy says "I wish I could use my focus chip, my implant is broken though and I can't afford the tool to get it out and put it back, I only sweat and it's hard without focus " so feeling sorry and a little selfish waving the tool in his face I offer to let him use it before I feed it back to the tt. What's 4 ped when you had a little luck I thought? Of course he's sweetness and "ty ty ty" and then jumps into the TP with it never to be seen again.
Timmers m8 that doesnt make you wrong in fact you are the better person, I wish more players were helpful adopting the sharing philosophy when affordable , if everyone just contributed a tiny amount of there cash to helping out PE would be a great place.........When I have helped people out the way I work is I never ever give to a beggar, that is my pet hate. I might go grouping with someone for a few month and if we become friends who are both self sufficient I may offer to help them. This makes me suseptible to the trust scam yes but trying to aspire to be a good person doesnt make you stupid. I honestly believe EVERYONE is susceptible to scams no matter how safe they play(The best we can hope for is minimising the risk) scammers will find a way at least some of the time so this is a good place to get users more vigilant. Still though people should be trying to form groups with genuine people!
