Guy tries creative scam on me.

So it went like this...

Today, I decided to go scrolling on my db which has higher diligence.I had a hoard of glove for att 60% scrolls, but I needed some work gloves. So bought a couple and failed on the first 3, then I had to go buy another one. I was in the FM and a guy trades me to sell his clean wg, he sold it, I bought it, and I was happy. So I manage to scroll it into a 10 att. Went back to the Fm to sell it and the [b][i]same guy who sold me the wg when it was clean traded me.[/i][/b]

I wish I could've screenshot this, but for some reason the ss key got moved to another key rather than "PRTSCN."
Anyways it went like this:

Him: "Show me"
Me: "Alrighty, hey you know you sold me the wg when it was clean. 8D"
Him:" I know, I'll give ya 50m for it."
Me: "Gurl you cray cray."
Him:" You're on Youtube and I'm recording. Hello people, I'm here with Katreel(my db)."
Me: "say what? @__@"
Him: "Trade me now. So I can get more subscribers."
Me: "I don't think so buddy..."
Him: "C'mon if you do it, then I supply you with more work gloves!"
Me: *Thinking* (Sell 10 att>>>get 300m>>buy 300 work gloves.) "I think I'm good"

And he cancels trade.
Again I came back to the Fm minutes later and he trades me again.

Him:"Hey you still got the work glove?"
Me: "EVIL"
Him:"Hello viewers I'm here with Katreel again! And she's going to sell me her work glove!"*Increases it to 66m*
Me: "Sure thing, just add more mesos."
Him: "That's all I got."
Me: "Hey do you know what basil is?"

And he cancels...

[b]EDIT[/b]: Some people are confused so here it is short:
Guy sells me clean wg. I make it 10 att wg worth 300m. He tries to buy it back for like 50m...
Then he tells me that he's doing this for youtube and wants more subs. Tries to reassure me that he would trade it back and supply me with wg.
Tries to get my skype and stuff. Didn't include that part in the conversation because the one I posted was the [i]In the trade conversation[/i]. Hope that clears some things.I guess it was an attempted guilt scam, not a serious scam.

Thought I share since it was a pretty creative scam. So in what ways did people try to scam you? 8D Share stories.

@kevhog: NOOOOOOOO. Oh my god! Okay so hard to explain but I just came back to Maple and I always used the PRTSCN button to SS. But I guess because of all the updates they changed it to SCRLK.

@alex168: I've been around since 2006 8D.

@kevhog: Yes I know that! That's why I tried to Prnscn because that's how it was back in the days xD.
But thanks for the tip!

@xAnhxYeuxEmx: People from Basil have done that to me before lol.

@Ongaku: That's what was I was trying to do so I can crop it nice and pretty. The SCRLK key is the ss key in maple now @__@. All these features gosh.

[quote=kevhog]@pollood Print Screen is just like Control+C for image data, you need to paste it in Paint or something. It'd be really damn hard to accidentally change that.[/quote]
My ss button was always on PrtScn! Guess I didn't know that in Maple, it's SCROLLOCK. I usually never ss in maple, long time ago it used to be just PrtScn xD.

@Maj0ra: THAT'S WHY IT WAS CREATIVE BECAUSE IT WAS SO BAD. I couldn't tell if he was serious or not!

@mlklrkkr1: I would've, but the other 3 I had were 0 slots and that would be mean!

[quote=JJoestar]Creative scam what?
It's just stupid and annoying, nothing really creative or interesting[/quote]

I found it creative because well it's the first time someone tried to scam me [i]in that way[/i].
Usually I get people doing the speed trade scam or when they try to tell you it's super deflated when it's really not. So this was a bit different for me 8D.

[quote=PraisedAura]How's that creative? Sounds like a fail guilt trip or bribe if anything.[/quote]

He tried to do it in a TV show kind of way .

@Maj0ra: I had a 10 att wg which are worth 300m, he tries to buy it for 50m claiming he would get me more clean wg and trade it back. Told me I would be sooo popular on his youtube.
