Trick #1 - Trading cents as ten thousand dollar coins (Scarab Coins)
TRUE ITEM:FALSE ITEM:
Some people try to trade cents as ten thousand dollar coins, DO NOT FALL to that trick!
If you're in doubt, always use the "Look" function and confirm whether it is a cent or a ten thousand dollar coin.
Trick #2 - Selling Big Diamonds as regular Diamonds (used to buy VIP)
TRUE ITEM:FALSE ITEM:
Some people sells Big Diamonds as Diamonds, you should keep in mind that ONLY THE REGULAR DIAMONDS may be used to buy VIP, the Big Diamonds are LOOTABLE from Cloysters.
Trick #3 - Selling random eggs as Eevee's or Kabuto's eggs.
TRUE EEVEE EGG:TRUE KABUTO EGG:
Some people try to sell random eggs (mostly Magikarps, but sometimes they use other ones) as Eevee's or Kabuto's Eggs, to avoid that filthy scam, you can check above how both Eevee and Kabuto eggs looks like.
Trick #4 - The "100% Catch Rate Ball".
FAKE BALL:(looks like a normal PokeBall).
Some people claim that the old "100% Catch Rate Ball" from the Beginning Island would work on mainland, but that's not true, it only worked on the 6 initial pokemons who lived in that island (Caterpie, Weedle, Paras, Pidgey, Oddish and Rattata), so, it's useless in mainland.
Trick #5 - Changing Pokemon's Pokeballs for Empty Pokeballs.
TRADE WINDOW:
This one needs extra caution from the buyer! EVERYTIME you're about to accept a pokemon deal, LOOK what's inside the ball by clicking on it in the Trade Window!
After you click on it you'll receive a message saying what's inside it in the middle of your screen and on your "Server Log" tab.
That's it for now!
