~GUIDE TO PREVENT GETTING SCAMMED~
Friday, September 10, 2010, 6:14 PM
~Guide to minimise Scamming~ I like to start this post to enlighten fellow Crayons on the dark side of Maple – Scamming , as one of our member got scammed today D: which makes him lost his ilbis and purple work glove. Common scamming method in Maple: 1) Putting incorrect amount of money For example: Ilbi cost around 20m, the buyer will put $1,999,999 instead of $19,999,999. Prevention: Double or triple check before you accept the trade. 2) Copy hack / duplicating items A For instance: The buyer will ask you if you want to duplicate your item. If you say yes, he will ask you to click trade but not ok. He will then ask you to type COPY. By doing so, means you accepted the trade so your item will become his. The “Y” in COPY means YES. Prevention: There Is No Such Thing As Free Lunch. Don’t be greedy! 3) Copy hack / duplicating item B For instance: Someone will ask you if you want to duplicate an item in a safe way. If you say yes, he/she will tell you the procedure. The steps are first, go to a safe place. Next, drop the items you want to duplicate. Then he will ask you to hold CTRL+ALT together follow by pressing F1 to F10. While you doing this steps, he/she will track you and get to know your location. Once you reach F4, your maple will shut down because you had pressed ALT+F4. He will then go and loot your item =D Prevention: There Is No Such Thing As Free Lunch. Don’t be greedy! 4) Fast Trading For example: The buyer offers the thing he wants to buy from you in an acceptable price. In this example, I will use ilbi. He will then put the correct amount of mesos which is 20m , click trade and cancel……trade and cancel again without letting you getting the money. He will say you are too slow and ask you to accept the trade faster. After a few tries, he will put the incorrect amount of money assuming it is $1,999,999 instead of $19,999,999. If you got fooled by him, you will accept the trade without thinking much. And poofed, you sold you ilbi for $1,999,999. Prevention: Double or triple check before you accept the trade. If he really wants to buy your thing, he will not urge you for a fast trade. 5) Drop Game For example: In Monster carnival, your "PARTY LEADER" aka scammer will ask if you want to play drop game. If you agree, he will ask you to drop your item in a safe distance away from him. Once you dropped your item, the scammer will enter any room in the Monster Carnival, leaving your items out there. If there is someone out there, your items will be looted by them. Note: You need to be in the same party with the hacker in order for him to do so. This scamming method DOES NOT ONLY APPLY TO monster carnival, other party quests such as henesys PQ, kerning PQ, ludi PQ and so on is available too. Prevention: NEVER EVER PLAY DROP GAME!! If you want, play it at your own risk! If I missed out any of the scamming method, feel free to add them in for me. I hope by doing this, less and less of people will get scammed. Thanks for spending you precious time on reading it =D. Always remember, THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH IN THIS WORLD, you had to earn it by yourself =D. Last but not least, I wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya!! ~By EvanFromAus~ |
