Unfortunately, I fell for the giftbox scam. Trade your valuable item for a giftbox that supposedly has something more valuable in it through the trading system. Of course, I fell for this when gift-giving had just come back and no one was warning anyone about that scam. I lost Baby Seal Slippers and a Coco Kitty Plushie.
Lately, I fell for an even worse scam, where I lost my Royal Scepter Silver. The guy traded me a Dorsal Fin for it when the lowest priced Dorsal Fin in the Marketplace was 400k. Less than an hour later, they dropped more than 300k. This is more commonly known as artificial inflation. Someone else in the same thread as me fell for it too, and she lost her Royal Crown Blue.
These successful scam attempts are the reason why I no longer accept item trade offers through PMs. I did learn my lesson, at least, so it won't happen ever again.
I've never fallen for the moderator PMs. Those are too obvious. Honestly, I can only consider the people who fall for the password scam to be stupid, since there's constant messages about it.

Luckily for me, by the time idiot scammers tried to scam me, I knew about their little plans and whatnot.
Besides, me being the greedy b***h I am, probably would never have given anyone s**t back when I first joined Gaia. xD I guess I was one of the smarter newbs or something.. >__>;

Back when I didn't know anything, no one wanted to scam me, so by the time they did try to scam me and ask for my password, I know how to deal with them. ;3

Have you ever been scammed out of an item or gold? no but someone tried and I totally reported them. If yes, what was the scam? that they needed my password which is tatally bogus

Ozmaro One man wanted to trade me a Nightmare Scarf for all my items. I was like....NO WAY! Then, I asked him to see it. He said that it was in a giftbox, and that I would have to trust him. I knew it was a scam right when he said that, and told him that if he didnt leave, I would report him right then and there..........He left. rofl That same exact thing happened to me!...What was his name?

It is kinda like the really world but online.
World-
Long Ago, we didn't have police and firemen. We did what we had todo to survive. Sure we had some problems but nothing so big we couldn't deal with it on our own. But, one day someone gets the idea to kill someone or many. Even steal money from them when they didn't have alot. Then we had to make rules and warn everybody. We made shows (AMW) and we had laws to follow are there would be conflict.
Gaia-
Gaia now warns people that everybody is not everyone is friendly and nice and you have to watch out for the people that will try and scam you.
We got many new things to remember and before anything you do now you check. What price your item is going for because if someone gets your collectable for 2k then will not give it back. When trading you check all the information to make sure it perfect and you are not being scammed. We have a report button. That is easy to get to because Gaia realized that it happens all to much and we need to stop it.
But, you can never stop it because no one is every safe. Because Hackers came along and without even knowing you. They break in and steal your stuff. We all know how many hackers are out there image them in the real world.
I have never been hacked ro scammed. But, People have tried and it is upsetting when they do. It is just one more person you can't trust.
Sorry, about all the text. I feel strongly about this topic. Thank You for your time. I am always available for discusion. Most people will probly never read it.
Good Day Everyone
