Every day when we get favor me and a friend are gonna do some UW runs and when we are done we are selling our ecto's. But what I see lately when I'm selling them is that there are a lot of people spamming the same message (WTB ectos 7k) rediculous fast. So I start a trade and offer my ecto's and instead of 'x' K they offer 'x' gold.
So my question is are these guys scamming bots or do they just have a trick to spam and try to scam people?
It really annoys me if I have to trade with 7 people before I can sell my ecto's without being scammed.
EDIT: I'm to smart to fall for such tricks. Hmmm, wrong title tho, had to be: WTB Scamming Bots?
WTB Scamming Bots??

They can be both, the 7g instead of 7k is one of the oldest tricks in the book, kinda suprising to see anyone still fall for that [thenagain, people do buy stuff from email spam as well]
And ANet doesn't seem to be able to make a decent spam-filter either, since ''WT B ectos 1'' to ''WT B ectos 21'' can be spammed without any delay, as long as one single number changes in the spam. Right.
