A scammer is someone who doesn’t hold up their end of the bargain during a trade. They will either not pay but take the item, or not give the item and take the pay. There are several ways in which scammers scam you out of your entitlement.
How a scammer scams:
- Firstly they wait for you to give them the money for an item they supposedly have and then run or log out. If you are in a protected galaxy there’s nothing you can do; they’ve gotten away already.
- Secondly the reverse happens and they take the item and don’t pay you the money. Money comes and goes but you may never see another item like that again, so this is possibly the worst kind.
- Lastly (but not as often) the scammer will wait in a stealthed ship near where a trade is taking place between 2 other people and then snatch up the item that is tossed over board. This is also very harsh because the two people who were trading may think the other person is trying to scam them.
- Stealing items from a base is also considered scamming/stealing.
