Common scams doing the rounds

Trust trades

“I’ll send later bro.” Never trade on trust — use the in-game trade window so both sides commit at once.

Fake middlemen

A stranger offers to ‘hold’ the deal. Only use middlemen you can independently verify — or none at all.

Loan scams

Borrow now, repay never. Assume any loan you give out is a gift you won’t get back.

Market / bait pricing

Prices are changed right before market sites update, so a ‘deal’ isn’t one. Double-check live prices.

Impersonation

Someone copies a trusted player or faction member’s name. Check the player ID, not just the name.

Too-good-to-be-true giveaways

Free money and rigged lotteries are bait. If it sounds too generous, it’s a hook.

Poker ‘doubling’

“I’ll double it for you.” You send, they keep. There is no legitimate doubling.

“Quitting Torn” scams

“Giving it all away, just send me $10m first.” A classic advance-fee trick. Never pay to receive.

Bazaar manipulation

Prices are switched before many web tools refresh. Confirm the price in the bazaar itself before buying.

Golden rule: never trade on trust, always use the in-game trade window, and check a player’s ID here before you deal with them. Stay safe and always double-check your trades.
