Heads up: Ecto scammers in Kamadan

Returned to play a bit of Guild Wars this weekend to find people "scamming" ectos. Here's how:
1) "WTB Ectos 5k each"
2) Open trade, offer ectos
1) Offers 5g per ecto, not 5k

Nothing new, but I don't remember this happening so often before. A couple of these people were low level chars, probably a secondary account, but another guy was monk with all the usual bling.

Veeeeeeeery old scam. Like trading Crystalline Sword for the crappy quest sword from pre-ascalon.

Thanks.... yeah, if you carry out a little observation you won't get scammed...

I've seen the same happening in pre searing with black dyes and charr salvage kits

Someone tried this on me yesterday, but it's an ancient scam, people have been doing it for years as far as i'm aware.

I remeber this used to always happon in LA

Before it was easier to scam with this method since we had golds exposed like this: 1 gold, 1platinum, with their respective icons (if I am not wrong).

Now that we have only golds listed, it's way harder to don't catch the eye onto the numbers.

Whoa criminal masterminds at work.

Was that guy's name Lex Luthor?

Yeah seen these scams many times Like today someone was selling everlasting Golem machine tonic for 42e i offered him 42e and he tried sell me normal one.

If you fall for this, you deserve it for not paying attention IMO.

welcome to 3yrs ago.

The Joker. Don't you hear the maniacal laugh?

As I'm sure you gathered by now, it is not a new scam. That scam only works if you are not paying attention. So everybody, pay attention!
