[align=center] What are people after?
YOUR MONEY!
[align=left]Okay, I'm going to tell you a few ways to tell if someone is attempting to scam you.
First off, What are people after these days? MONEY. and they wont stop at any limit to get it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Way #1 : Usually, the person will tell you to pay 1600 microsoft points for 10th Prestige
Most likely, this is a SCAM! keyvaults don't cost microsoft points they cost $$$.
So don't fall for that.
_________________________________________________________________________________________Way # 2 : If someone says that they are hosting a 10th prestige lobby 100% LEGIT, Verified, That doesnt mean that their legit/Verified. Anyone can post that on a topic.
Before you buy from them, ask around from some people, and see if he's really legit or not.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Way # 3 : "Free 10th Prestige Lobby/Unlock all!" - Most likely, SCAM.
What will probably happen, is he'll invite you into a lobby, and say Ok guys, I need a few donations to start this off. SCAM ALERT!! He did say it was free..right? And then what he'll do, is take your donations and run off and leave. Then he repeats this process.
_________________________________________________________________________________________Way # 4 : The, "Look at my friend's level" Alot of times, a scammer will hire someone with 10th prestige/spinning 10th to prove they gave this person that. They will then call this PROOF. Most likely...SCAM! Just because their in that lobby, doesn't mean that they gave them 10th. They could have done it Legit/ or someone elses lobby.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Important : If you are really worried about getting scammed, I suggest you don't buy from normal posters...look up in the stickies, they will have legit people.
like : Unlucky_7 for example. This guy is 100% legit and verified. So look deeper into that.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Usually, if someone is really legit, they will charge you 20-40 Bucks Via paypal. Don't pay if you have doubt in them though.
