Can you trust a scammer?

by tallstar107
Scamming- we all have experienced it in some form or another.  Perhaps we've seen someone do it in Jamaa Township, or have been scammed yourself.  Most scams are very detectable.  But what would you do if you saw the scammer actually fulfill their promise?
Jammer Wolfygirl1234 was put in this exact situation.  On 10/17/13, she watched as a scammer, after performing the "best trade scam", gave away a spike wristband to the winner.  "So it seemed like you could trust him," she explained later. 
The scammer, enfinitie, repeated this technique, this time offering a spiked collar.  Wolfygirl1234, excited by this offer, traded him her mech helmet. 
How surprised was she when he accepted, ran away and blocked her.  He even turned off buddy requests, which, as we know, most scammers don't think to do. 
This, jammers, is why we need to all learn to recognize scammers.  Here is a big tip to not getting scammed:
Never send an item (unless you're giving someone a gift on purpose) or trade for an item you don't want!
