Be careful for the owner of the realm, he can ban you or take the items before you get them

    This works only for that type of scam
    Got no solution other than not buying for the others, yet

    Thats a new type of scam like ED said. I suggested an idea that no one can mine the green blocks for 1-5mins, this prevents the scam because you have more time to get the items ._. So that stops one scam in its track completely

    I posted a thread on the a-s team's forum here http://theantiscammers.forumtl.com

    The realm has been updated to add some other types. However, Ace's solution would fix most scams.

    Someone else can get the "prize" before you. Best bet is to stay away from both ones like picturerd above and also big platforms. O and if there's a mannaquin on top, thoes have sentrys. If you use vending machines use ones that are only two long and have the items in glass righ on top of the foundation. Also remember what the mods say, the best way to buy is in a register. Be safe y'all and have fun.

    If you're using something other than a cash register to trade then you're vulnerable. You really have to trust who you're buying from. If there's a solid block on top of the foundations under the item being sold I would just not buy in that case.

    Thats why there should be a time limit for how long until you can get rid of the green foundation blocks.

    Yus and I am the one who got scammed by it -.-ll Tbh I don't think you should be allowed to place any kind of sentries down on a foundation block rent
  • lazylupinelazylupine Member
    Exactly. I've seen Modified do a few hollas so I've trusted him enough to do a vending machine. And I ended up with one of my dreamies, but as you mention it is possible for the owner to ban you before getting the items..

    How I think of vending machines are kind of bad 1. It costs more money just sell it when you offline there's no point in buying the bumpers and blocks if your not going to use it for rentals 2. Because it may more likely be a scam I think people shouldn't use vending machines for a way of selling. Thankyou.
