Beware

Today's "beware" topic is going to be about trading accounts. Unlike some other MMORPGs in this game, selling accounts isn't exactly "black-market-material;" however, it is easy to be scammed. Here's the DO's and DON'T's of trust trades.

DON'T's:

-Don't fall for when the buyer or seller says something like, "Trust me, I won't scam you." Because 99 percent of the time. YOU WILL BE SCAMMED. Almost anyone will jump at the opportunity of taking an account without paying for it so don't be fooled.
-Do not ever go first, this is like putting the words, "Scam-Me" on your head. You are practically ASKING for it if you go first.
-Never tell the information to the account (if you are selling) because there may be another person in the group that will change the password, and they will stage it like you were the person that was scamming them.
-Never sell to known huge scammers on Eo. If you need help identifying them, Google "Picto's Black List."
-Beware of deals that are too good to be true because this WILL be a scam. 500k for a level 5 account with nothing on it is not a good deal, not even if it has a title. Be careful.

DO's

-ALWAYS use a middle-man. This is how a middle-man works. Trade a trusted player on Eo the required amount of money for the deal. Then have the other person give them the information to the account so that they can check and see if it works. Always have the other person Pm you from the account. Just to be sure. After they check to see if it works. Make sure the middle-man didn't change the password to the account, this has happened to me before. Once everything is checked, get the money (or whatever it is that the middle-man is holding for you) and have the middle man give the other player the information.
-Always be polite. If you piss off the middle-man or the buyer/seller they might scam you, in an attempt to teach you some manners. So be careful.
-Be open minded, don't have a one tracked mind. If all you concentrate is making money or selling the account, you're bound to get scammed. Good luck.
