    Details: Added me directly to offer his "gift-wrapped" HHHH Axe for my dirty ball-kicking boots. Negotiations took place and a compromise was reached. Needless to say, we initiated a trade. However, he fails to add the axe. I ask him to add it, but he says that he can't add it for some reason, and that he will send it to me right after. He says F2P's can't trade but can send gift-wrapped items. Doesn't sound so bad, until he refuses to use collateral, or a middleman. Backpack is private, and when I insists, he says he's not interested anymore and closes the trade, bidding me farewell. Not sure if worthy of marking, but reallly suspicious. Someone should look into this.

    NB: Told him I would be still interested if he could change his profile privacy status to public so that I can verify that he is a legit person, and that the said item IS in his backpack. Totally ignored me.

    Looks very suspicious to me.
    At least nice to see that people stop falling for stuff like this :)
