[Discussion] Important things to remember

[Athelas]

Since the Atl Rares Festival is just around the corner, I'd like to take this time to make a very important point. I know most of you are very careful when it comes to trades, but you should always be conscious of your surroundings. If you need a broker, be sure to verify who they are. I can't even count the number of times I've heard of someone using SupSoc's name in order to scam. But the scam would never have taken place at all if the person had just taken the time to match up icq's, send a pm or just ask the right questions.

-Do not get scammed. Play smart and make sure you are dealing with the person you think you are. Even if you see me or Sundina in game, icq us and tell us on icq to type a certain thing in game to make sure its us. Take your time and think before making any action.

This is a great method to stay safe. I usually use Stratics pm as a way to verify since Stratics's ID's are unique. For instance if you'd like me to help broker an item you would find me at the fest or pm me, I would send you my icq through Stratics and we'd go from there. Even if you already have someones Icq it never hurts to pm for verification. It just takes a few seconds and insures that your trade goes as planned.
