Smile Tips On Avoiding Scammers

:Banane01: Ok guys, for all maplers this is just a IN-CASE warning, dont say i am a noob, haha. There is more and more scammers nowadays trying to sell accts or exp things such as steely, etc. They are often scammers, how to avoid being tricked and know if they're saying the truth?

For Account-Seller:
1) Actually, account selling is BANNED so GM won't care if you got scammed just because you wanted to buy an account.
2) If you really want to buy an account, buy it TOGETHER with the Asiasoft Passport to prevent the person from changing the password.
3) An Account Seller which is not trueful always try to talk to you as long as possible to sell an account to you if they see that you looked rich.If that account seller is truthful, he will probably say the Account and Password first if he trust you (this is what most real account-seller has in themselves '' Trust'').
4) An Account Seller which tries to scam you often offer low price like 1.5m as they are scared that you might not want to buy at a very high price.

For Expensive items Seller:
1) As all of you know, there is alot of hacks nowadays, so people will just clone an item which actually CAN'T be used and they will just sell it to you at quite a low price which you may want to take note of.
2) If you want to buy anything, just go to the place where maplers set up their stalls. That is the safest place that you can buy things from.

Hope that my tips can give somebody some advices.:Banane01:

There is a skill that raises the maximum number of stars that can be charged. They probably just had that skill and sold them at full charge. When you get them it'll go back down to 500.
