The staff position on scamming is quite simple.
If you don't want to get scammed, don't drop items or invite players to your house.
If you feel that you need to trade, here are some tips to prevent scamming:
*Trade with players you know well, this will slightly reduce the risk.
*Try and get a staff member to watch over your trade.
*If possible, see if you can find out if a player has scammed in the past, if they have it's probably not a good idea to trade with them.

I wasn't talking about you lol, I meant in general, there's been a lot of hating in the era forums.
