Adding a Timer to Vending Machines ( A possible way to prevent vending machine scams)

How vending scams work, is people change the price quickly to a higher number, whilst people are buying the supposedly cheap items.
I literally paid 5k for a raffle token this way x_x.
In that case, Adding a timer between the amount of time you can change the price on a vending machine could be a bit effective.
The only thing about it, is shop owners who sell out quickly would have to wait a bit of time before they are able to change the prices on their vends.
Otherwise, this could help out a lot. x_x
Any other tips on how to make this suggestion stronger?

OR people could:
1 Read the trade screens
2 Don't try to outsmart scammers
3 Don't stay in scammer's realms or hollawarp "Scam here" because more people keep coming
I like the idea, after all the vends are made to stop the scams with foundation blocks, not to make more ways to scam
ash you're not allowed to get scammed remember when someone did you in pen's yard rentals
Until then read confirmation windows.
such a shame scammers found a way to use vends for their purposes.
I don't want this game to be shaped by scammers while the honest player like myself is punished. Due to the fact when you put one blockade for a means of scam, scammers a hundred percent of the time within just a few days will move onto a new form of scamming.

Also I want to share a tip for outsmarting the scammers- having an alt account with only less than 1K c on it and then when there is 'omg top hat 1c' scam Hollas, you can go and spam buy, you won't have to worry about getting the overpriced changes because you won't have enough cubits. I've gotten like 100+ top hats from those Hollas like that xD
I was literally only trying to get a few raffle tokens for my friend lol
I just see a lot of people moaning that they were scammed when they know full well it was coming
