[Discussion] Beware Trade Window Snipers Who Add & Quickly Delete Zeros Just Before You Accept

I have been receiving reports of Trade Window scamming, and originally dismissed them as not possible, but recently a friend of mine was selling something for 200m, and the buyer added and quickly deleted a 0 just as the seller clicked accept, so that way the buyer/scammer saved 180m.

Before weightless gold, I was among the most trusted brokers to help with large gold transactions, and if you don't trust who you are dealing with, I will still login if I am available, and handle these trades for free. I did this for nearly 8 years before they made gold weightless. I don't like hearing about people getting scammed. I became a broker to stop this. So please if you just want to be careful, message me, and I will take the gold, the items, and swap them to their new owners per trade deal instructions. Good luck and be safe!

Shame they didn't fix this.

Guess the only option, when trading with an unknown untrusted player, is to have the person with the gold click the box first before you completing trade with items.
