Talk:Avoiding Scams/@comment-31600833-20170326014849

My name is RED in this game, not the list - but the game, and I'm NOT a scammer. I've never scammed anyone either, nor do I ever want too. I'm not some 8-year-old who has way to much time on their hands or thinks it's amusing to "be the big person" cause they brought someone else down. The only type of trading I've ever done is being the buyer.

I've only traded twice in this game. The first time was from someone who was kinda sketchy, but I was new to the game so I had no idea. I'm normally a generous person because I want to see the best out of someone/people! And that brought me to being scammed out of 10k. NOW the SECOND time was when I bought an endtimes-axe and a fire-axe for 21k (13k for entimes, and 8k for fire). Great seller, best one I think, trying to get him onto the trusted list :)

So ... I have two theories...

ONE: Is that the color of the name tags is wrong. They are probably just different colors to help differ between people in the text boxes. As in, it has NOTHING to do with scammers and non-scammers, and it's probably just a coincidence! I came to this conclusion because the very first time I've played the game, the color of my name was red in the textbox. Highly doubt that Lumber Tycoon 2 has the game coding for instantly detecting scammers without them even scamming - Now if that was possible, the game developer needs an award and some good cash in their pockets lol. I like this theory better than my second one...

TWO: Is that the scammer who had scammed me, probably complained a false complaint about me and caused my name to change/stay in that red color. Now I'm not sure that this theory had happened, because once again - my name has always been that color red ever since the first time I've played this game. So, yeah, probably sticking with my first theory ...

Though I would like an explanation, or help, or an answer ... It would be nice. Thanks :)
