Guide- Taking Scamming into your own hands
 

Ok this isnt a major guide so i didn't put it in the guides;

How to not be scammed
1. First off the big nono is donot drop first, almost always you'll be scammed if you do that.
2. Try not to trade very often unless you need too, if it sounds too good to he true it probably is.
3. Try find someone you know and trust to trade with, makes it alot easier.

Peters Advice :3
If someone asks you to drop the item in a SPECIFIC spot even in your own house, don't listen. Drop it somewhere else. I witnessed someone attempting to scam by telling him to drop an item in a specific spot (in your own house) and he keep insisting on it, so it's an obvious scam.

Their tricks
Usually scammers have little tricks, the obvious one which youd have to be pretty drunk todo is to trade first in their house, theyll kick you.
But the dangerous one is when they ask for 2invites. If you invite someone and they ask for another invite always tell them to relog first, to delete the first invite.
Make sure you do this because what they do is when they are locked up, and you drop the item, they use the 2nd house invite to go in and collect your item.

How to take authority into your own hands
Ok this is the part i was getting at. I was recently scammed, but i managed to get my item back, so i made this guide to help you guys too. So as most will know admins cannot deal with scammings, so we have to deal with it ourselves. Im assuming most of the people reading this have an account on graalians.
So what i did- i was scammed, so i continued to follow him, not getting all angry and swearing (dont do that makes you look bad) simply saying warning he and his gang are scammers. So i followed him for about 10mins doing this. Also if scammers are known, people will lookout for them, so this is important for them. Now i know this sounds cheesy but it works, basically i threatened to "dob him in" or expose his name, look and guild on graalians for all to see and avoid. Almost assoon as i explained to him what graalians was he invites me to his house and i got my item back :). So he doesnt change name, check message history and add him so that if he doesnt give your item back, you can "ruin" his business and expose him whenever his name changes and remove when your victorious.

Thanks for reading and i hope this helps people get their rares back, and avoid being scammed in the future. Also once again don't bother pming staff to help you with a scammer because they cannot do ANYTHING about it. Btw first guide so plz dont hate.

I followed all it fails :\

To be honest, this is an awesome guide.

Something to add on:

Oh, and that someone is... ... ... *achoo*

Good guide

Agreed.

Awesome post, didn't know about the second invite trick, have to Watch out 4 that.

This is good, but it wont help new players know anything. The new graalians dont know crap about graalians.com, im not saying this is worthless but, in order for this to help. We need to start getting people to join graalians.com. But good job.

YES! this is what we need, if staff cant (or wont) help we need to take it into our own hands, using the search feature on the map really helps, and keep them added.

HigBey. Would you like to embark on a quest with me to save the people of iEra from scammers?

Great guide, defo worth to be in the guides section!

Just wondering, I entered a "contest" (not even sure if it was a contest) where I had to show some guy the highest gralat on my farm. I was first, and he said to show him it again when the contest was over and I would win the prize (prize being 240 gralats I believe)

Do you reckon he could take my gralat? Of course it was locked and there is a fence around my farm but im just wondering, it made me feel uneasy.

Thanks guys :) also Alexi if this didnt help you expose your scammer and end his career xD then offer to delete the post when he sees people arnt trusting him anymore. Providing he gives back your items of course ;).

Yes he can take your gralats. There is so many glitches on youtube of classic and how to glitch into peoples farms. You might want to expand ;3

Yea just thats for classic, eras way more protected and if it comes to gralat scamming, then that becomes alot more serious.

Lol its not rlly serious cuz admins dont do crap. But eh, we can tell the new people to make graalians accounts. If they even care about their stolent crap. So my duty from now on is to make new friends and tell them make an acc on graalians and go to guides

:0 if peoples actually gralats are stolen and they have proof then they do care because someone would need to use a form of hack todo it, anyway please dont respond to this topic in this particalar post replying to rednote, i dont want this to turn into some debate, this is just for whether or not this guide helped you and anything i could add.

Interesting guide

Y'all don't get the point... Post accordingly. x_x

Great guide! +rep!
Just move it to Guide section :)

Their tricks
Usually scammers have little tricks, the obvious one which youd have to be pretty drunk todo is to trade first in their house, theyll kick you.
But the dangerous one is when they ask for 2invites. If you invite someone and they ask for another invite always tell them to relog first, to delete the first invite.
Actually you dont need to ask them to relog. You simply send them a friend invite when they ask for a second invite to your house. They cannot open the second invite unless they enter your house because if they open the second invite before entering your house, the first will be deleted. So since the colours of the invite to friend and invite to car and invite to house/gh pm r the same, he wont notice and when he is locked up and u drop the item outside the fence, they wont be able to re-enter the house and take the item. Furthermore, the scammer wont have a reason to ask for another invite as they r already in the house! Also, when they claim that they tapped on yes in the invite to house/gh but was on a chair or something so they r not warped, dont believe them if you urself is not warped into the house. the system auto-warps u to ur house/gh if someone accepted the invite and will also pop up a message that welcome to ur house sth like that.

actually the staff can do something about this very easily , make a custom trading system and take out the drop trading all together . this way they can control the trade and remove the ability to scam people .

can, but wont.

i got scammed only one time for a rock
then in took my revege from that guy
i scammed 30 of his burgers

So basically, you stooped to his level? Nice...

Scam Me. Hack You. ;)

yep that how i deal with scammers

fight fire with volcanos.

Something to add if u droped your item and your trying to tell that other trader something (this only works for ipad) be sure u can see yourself when u click the speak button.Make sure they dont come near u and take your item then run away. kinda hard to explain....... someone help

Something to add on: Pretend your adiam by doing house glitches. I found one where you can walk on furniture. No, it's not a hack, a glitch

Or. . .

Take the professional approach.

Make copies of the GUI script for their invite and then get inside their house. Then go back to your iFile and delete the fence, replace it with couch cushions. Take what is yours and more.

Ezpz.

Lol people make such a big deal about being scammed... Would you spend the rest of your life getting your 50 virtual Hamburgers back or get a college degree? Get a degree in Game Design and make as many Pixel burgers you want:p

no one is saying they will spend the rest of their life upset about it, dont go and make absurd things like that up and exaggerate it to try to make it look like people are being overdramatic.

its a game, you play it for fun, having people trick you and stealing your stuff isnt fun. thats why it shouldnt be permitted and revenge should be allowed.

No longer relevant, you can hide your position from the map :/
