Lately a number of characters have tried to and successfully scammed people. Here is how the scam works. Scammer (random character) will say 'WTS silk 170m' and then setup a stall with 100 silk for 170m, however, right before they open the stall, they change the price to 770m or 970m. There have been a number of character seen doing it and I hope that the IP address of these users AND / OR their ACCOUNT and not just characters that are doing this, can be BANNED from the server.

Some ways to avoid this scam and others-
Take note if the character is LVL 1 and maybe not a reputable seller
Wait until a stall has been open for some time to purchase the item
Ask the seller to list the item on the stall network

STAY VIGILANT!!!

Hello,

It's an old trick since the beginning of time.

1- Don't "Pre-Select" the item if the stall is being modified.
2- Use the stall network.

You have all the tools not to get scammed.

I would also like to remind everyone that the staff does not deal with scammers as per our game rules. https://playorigin.com/detail-rules.html

It's still not possible to buy items through stall network btw, you can just see the items, not buy.
