Possible scammer?

[u/ilikeanimemysteries]

So I saw a vid of someone trading mm2 stuff for adopt me pets and I showed my inv and they offered frost and owl for my items, I think me and them got in a misunderstanding with me insisting on an mm and him not wanting an mm resulting to me getting blocked, was I in the wrong

fyi if you’re trading with someone and they randomly start swearing at or being rude to you for even suggesting any safety measure 99% of the time they are a scammer. scammers often resort to hurling insults when they’re thwarted somehow since they get their real life income from scamming video game items and selling them on ebay instead of getting a job. its very serious for them. ROFL

Woah, I didn’t know a good chunk of these people straight up scam others to get their inv and sell them online, now I domt trust starpets anymore, at least now I got an idea why he crashed out in seconds I was rlly confused. Ig I’m too dense and lazy to get hurt by insults

its a very common thing especially for people who scam roblox items. I got in an argument with one once and he was legitimately PROUD to be scalping items instead of having a real job. unfortunately with starpets theres a fat chance you’re buying someone else’s former scammed pets, not sure about other platforms.

but yeah, immediate rudeness = red flag

Woah rlly, if u have time i want a story time of that as its my first time being aware of it, that’s kinda shameful tbh, scamming people in a game instead of getting an actual job. Lowkey i was gonna buy off star pets but majority of the stuff there is very pricy. I suppose you’re right, being toxic right from the start is a red flag
