I got scammed once in Runescape, selling a rune shield or something and my trade partner put up the right amount of cash, but also a bunch of random items. This bunch of random items distracted me from the fact that he decreased the cash amount by a factor of 10 and I accepted the trade.
It's good to learn such life lessons in a virtual game rather than real life!
That was definitely not the only life lesson though, I also way overpaid for a halloween mask once when they were just dropping in 2002 due to the hype.
Bought a hammer for 80k because someone 5 minutes earlier had said they wanted to buy one for 100k and I thought I would make a 20k profit. Little did 14 year old me know that the buyer and seller were working together, or were the same person, and I had been tricked into buying a hammer worth 40k for 80k.
That has to be a scam as old as time. Glad I learned that lesson on runescape instead of in real life.
