How to Identify a Scammer

How to identify a scammer
Submitted by ajrcz ajrcz@allways.net
Unfortunately, there are plenty of scammers in Neopia. And I was unfortunate enough to run into some of these people, but luckily I didn't get scammed. Sometimes in shops: If the here icon to report the shop is right next to the username, it's a scam. And sometimes people will scam you by neomail. Chain letters aren't as bad a scam though, as ones directly asking for your password. Remember: Neopets will never ask for your password via e-mail OR neomail. One scammer I met couldn't even spell Faerie right...*shakes head* Remember that Neopets can also spell it's own words. Also, sometimes it's good to put two and two together to see if you're being scammed. One time, I put one of my rarest items up for trade. Then, I got a neomail asking for my username and password from contests2000, who is now frozen. Here's the two and two together: I had a rare item up for trade, and I got a neomail asking for my username and password. Remember to be careful, but have fun too!

Haggling should not be done when the item is considered high demand. High demand items are usually any item that is sold at a very cheap price in the official shops. Because so many people are willing to nab the item at its asking price, you may find that while you haggle for it, someone may have already purchased it.
