Fraud and Scam Center

This page is dedicated to updating and informing players of those who have scammed or have attempted to scam others out of cards or items.

What we consider scamming
By definition, we consider scamming to be the act of making or attempting to make a trade with another, using deception either through misleading information or actions, or purposefully withholding important information which should be known by both sides.

Examples

 * Purposefully making or attempting to make a trade in which you are grossly undercutting the other partner (lowballing). Generally, if you are offering less than 40% of the trade value, and the other partner has not willingly and explicitly consented to such a trade, we consider this to be a form of scamming.
 * Please note that simply pressing the "confirm" button in the trade screen is NOT considered explicit approval.


 * Changing your trade offer at the last minute during the transaction process in order to undercut (lowball) the other trade partner.


 * Attempting to give misleading information in order to benefit in a trade.


 * Withholding important information when requested to do so such as whether the card is PM or not.


 * Borrowing other players' cards for any reason and not returning them when the other player has requested so.

What is NOT considered scamming

 * Not explicitly informing others of known market prices when making trades. It is the responsibility of each trade partner to be informed of current market values.


 * Offering less than generally accepted market values and the offer is over 50% of market prices. Note that some variability is to be expected in trades, and that trade offers can range anywhere from 40% to over 100% of accepted market values. Simply offering less than well known market values is not reason to be considered scamming. However, consistently offering trades less than 50% of known market prices CAN be considered a form of scamming, but would not be a SUFFICIENT reason to be considered a scammer.
