How to avoid barter scam...Follow
I just got hit by this the other day, I'm glad to see that there's notice of it going around.
Luckily I only lost a couple K, it could have been worse.
Also, it was "Pelious" on Luclin. Don't ever sell to him.

Nice warning. Luckily, I have not had this happen, have my window way big, can see all offers on an item.
this happened to me too :-( first ever time I used barter zone, and I lost out quite some PP on the trade. Been keeping and eye on this barterer and he seems to do this all the time I mean 11PP for words of agony? gimme a break
i fell for this one on a yaeth's--fortunately it wasn't a huge chunk of plat. i figured the buyer made a mistake when setting up the buy lines. thanks for posting the link and the heads up.
i don't recal the buyer name, but i fell for this on the stromm server.
