So I've seen these almost everywhere now and It's getting a little out of control? Everyone keeps falling for these even though it's obvious 99% of them are scams. Feel like someone should do something about this or at least bring it up because more and more players are losing their valuable items. Thoughts? :P

MOBA A quote from an official forum moderator,
"Unless these players are taking items from players by tricking them with the promise of make-believe prizes, the event isn't considered a scam.
If you suspect foul play you're more than welcome to report the event, but for the most part the decision has to be made by the players themselves whether or not they want to join such an event.
Unless someone is actually manipulating players for personal gain, these sort of events aren't breaking any rules."A trade is a trade, unfortunately for those who don't know any better.

Conzaboy X3BiscuitX3,
Candy scams can be punishable by reporting the event,
they will remove their ability to trade via marketplace if reported enough.
Keep this in mind.

Panda Marceline Well, candy scams are SCAMS AND BIG ONES, but SOME are trusted, Like 1% are trusted and the other 99% are not. I wish that ow had something like a ''Detector'' if someone is holding a contest so they can see, the profile and messages ( Not private messages but the ones that are releated to the scam/ contest ) And if the detector can see the answers of that person, if not that, I wish that ow had ALSO a detector if someone excepts the candy offer for big items, the person is suspicous to the detector, if the person is suspicous, the detector ( As ourworld ) Sends a message to the person who got scammed, asking if they got scammed, or it was just a normal trade, if the person was the contest winner ( of some other contest ) or something? But. Again, ourworld will never put that in the game or anything that will stop the candy scams. But, reporting them after they get ur items is not really ''Usefull'' beacuse ur items are alredy stolen, and ourworld can not get the items back. So its not really usefull, if u react quicker, maybe u can save the person, maybe not.

ShadowButterfly It's not just Candy scams either, I was recently scammed out of 25 Mil in items by offer on a jacket,
Knowing Ow can't do anything I'm out of luck but a suggestion is a filter system for trading.

Kr0nk I just now got scammed out of an item crystal flake wings (the white ones)
because she made it seem believable she had pictures making it seem like it wasn't a scam... I feel so stupid and I'm highly upset.
I worked all day and I'm very tired and had so much going on today
I thought my day was going to get better.
I should've known better I just wish there was a way to remove the item from the player whom stole it an give it back to the person an it be an only one time warning lesson... I'm really bummed out...
