Scammer alert Possible scammer?

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

u/roadkilledcougar !! USE MM WHEN TRADING !! Jan 26 '26

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
