How to not get scammed
1) You don't trade with people who say ''You first or no deal" 2) Don't trust anyone except for your friends 3) Don't spend lots of shells |

I practically don't trade at all. Only the closest/very well known friends I can trust. For example. Since I'm co leader and I have been with my leader for about a year, we can trade. I often go on the safe side. Be happy with what you have, and work for the item instead of trading for it. I don't go around asking for rares or trades. |

I recommend trading in small amounts of items if possible. For example if you're trading shells for ammo rather than trading 200 shells for 10000 ammo, trade 2 shells for 100 ammo at a time, and slowly increase to like 20 shells for 1000 ammo.

No not friends. I mean like really close friends. Like best friends. Be very familiar with them. But I still take caution when trading with friends.

Your on the wrong forum, you must put this on FAQs and Guides. It doesn't help much and change the title to " How to Prevent Scam" if your making another thread.

It's simple, just don't drop your item(s).

Hasten to add that there are already existing threads on this topic and that the instructions above are stating the obvious for some users. Good work nonetheless.

HERE'S WHAT I DO, I don't go to their house I tell them to follow me to a empty place where no one hardly goes anymore like aurons house, then I tell them to stand far away from me. Then we drop our items and run towards them and pick them up. Success!
