The point of this thread was to help people who may not be familiar with the contents of a real mail VS a scam mail...

I was just saying, if you're not sure if the mail is real...you can check it by asking them to IMMEDIATELY send you a "custom tip" by giving them a specific figure to tip you so they don't have time to just send their fake mail... then you compare the two.

If the fake is poorly done, the "quick custom bank tip" mail will give you an immediate, side by side comparison of a real mail and the previously sent "questioned mail".

Just thought it would be a different idea.






Or ask them for the tip confirmation in a tell.

Personally I accept money by trade only until:

You get system message with bank tips as you do with tips OR
The mail body contains something like "Your balance is now xxx" OR
You get an "Accept tip?" Dialog OR

Something else. I don't play the game to buff rude people in corolag, I buff to make the cash to buy the stuff I want to play the game. So if someone can't be arsed to either carry a bbit of cash or run to the bank I don't care, they need the buff more than I need to buff them, their loss.
