10 steps to prevent scam/dupe trades

These are some of the things that might help prevent you from being scammed

1) Be aware of weird character names such as Fdkfjfdj

2) Be aware of characters Lv 20 unless you made a deal on forums with someone of the opposite race

3) Never trust anyone selling an excessive amount of items such as 9000 Gold medals, 700 L145s, those are probably duped

4) Always ask whoever you're trading to show you the items and then to relog before you trade

5) Always try to make them teleport to you

6) Always take a picture of the trade window when u press Confirm, then take another one when the trade is finished. Although you can take pictures, a video would always make it easier for Staff to find your proof legitimate, so if you can record a small video to help you better if needed. You can use this safe program to record videos: http://www.fraps.com/

7) After the trade is completed take a picture on the items in your inventory

8) After the trade is completed do not move from the spot and log off and take a picture after logging in with the inventory window open where the trade items are

9) Have yourself a new folder in your Documents to put in chat.txt logs

10) Before you trade important items or any if you wish, make sure you delete your current Chat.txt from your Aion folder and then after you finished the trade make sure that you copy the new content of your new Chat.txt log into the folder you made along with pictures from the trade, you can separate everything related with the same name. For example, Avoidmetrade.txt(Chat log) with Avoidmetrade.jpg(Pictures)

 

lol knew ud do that after i saw this post in another thread to the screenshot part, id add that u can record a vid as well coz it makes it a LOT faster to get ur items back (they dont question screens for fakes or try make sense out of them)

also add to double check the trade window to make sure they r really the items u agreed on

btw ur missing a word in there
These are some of the things that might help prevent you from being scammed

 

nice and helpfull advice...thanks avoids

 

Nice job man, thanks for the advice.

 

Thanks, but about the videos it would help more but not everyone has the video caption programs or even want to have them, so I guess if they take multiple pictures and save the logs they can be helped, I've gotten lost ABG sets back by doing it this way. I'll see if I can add something somewhere about the video though

 

Thx a lot! now i knw why ppl ask me to relog first before trade item haha =D
