I love how Hypixel is protecting these scammers. "Do not tell people to report scammers [people who are breaking our rules], because we will ban you [even though you did not break any rules]." AND! If I'd sell a Treecapitator for 800m coins, I'd get banned for Boosting/IRL-trading in a few hours.

Literally all these scams are so unbelievably easily avoidable if you're not an idiot, the fact you're willing to help these people is beyond me cause I could never
The Treecap one is weird. You are in such a hurry to buy something for so cheap, you don't notice that it is 9878990989890897 coins. It'sn't "easy" to avoid. Sorry for the rant.
There’s another one I found (I like checking out obvious scams to see what they are) where someone tells you to flex an item and they’ll give you 10% of its value, but they try to give the money while ur items still there so ur selling it for 10% of its value
i got scammed the other day, they were in the dungeon hub and said "first one to give me a normal egg gets 500m", then I instabuy an egg and it was 50m
Bruh I was buying regular ender pearls one time for kuudra and I ended up paying 67 million for 16 😂. Idek how they manage to bz manipulate to that point
You know what’s funny? You can make a little profit off these scammers. For the first one, get a friend to list the collateral item at like 1/5th the price the scammer says they are worth. When the scammer buys them, dip with your profit. For the second one, you can buy all the low price ones, but make sure to check the price or have a mod that stops you from buying high price items And for the third one, say you don’t trust the scammer and have them buy a low tier item for much more then it’s worth if we all did this when we see one of these scammers, we can edge off their profit!!
okay so the last one was about to happen to me like 3 weeks ago I was kind of tired so I basically declined after saying "Man, Im done getting scammed for today, Please leave me alone" Dude legit had the surprised Pikachu face. And guess what ? I didnt even knew that it was a scam!
Wow this game seems really fun, and the community seems so vibrant. I hope that when I play that I won’t suddenly become addicted to making easy profit!
I literally got that portal trap scam happen to me today, the guy was so surprised when I told him exactly how the scam works before he did it on me, then I visited him and yep, I was in a portal trap.
Most of the ah scams can be avoided if you get NEU, since it can tell you if you're buying/selling the item at a lower or higher price and it tells you the real amount, so you have to go out of your way to confirm that you understand that you acknowledged this
Honestly people got to be more careful, if you are taking part in any things where you are lowballing or helping someone do something, you should just be aware, most smart and careful people will never get scammed, so as much as the scammers are bad people, if you get scammed, it is most likely your fault.
funny enough its always so funny to realize the second scam because one time someone "lowballed" me 5 god potions for 100k and one was 100m and i noticed it. so uh thx dude for about 5m in god pots
Just follow the simple rule in skyblock and you wont get scammed, dont trust anyone. If you see anything even a little bit weird just refuse. Check any items u trade in neu or wiki, check every amount you buy or just refuse to trade if the way of trading getting changed during the trade.
This scam happened to me awhile back, around a year ago. This guy told me he needed help transferring and he gained my trust, pulling the old "yeah scammed suck" making me more inclined to believe him. I lost around 30m in armor and pets, and when I tried to list the dctr papers they never ever sold. I can't remember the guys name and I'm on a new profile now, just wanted to share this.
The first scam reminds me how around 2 weeks ago I saw neu said one of those brews I had costed millions, which confused me, I thought maybe it was an unobtainable item and went to the npc to check
What’s funny is the 2nd scam happened to me but i didn’t buy the godpot he listed for 100m and bought the rest for 1m 💀 (When something is too good to be true, it probably is, always be careful 😭)
Hypixel just needs to add a report system to this, it wouldn't be hard to entroduce, and it would effictivly kill scamming. I have no idea why they haven't done this already
idk what your intentions are but this might unironically act as a guide for people to scam and have even more people get scammed, even though lots more players will be wary of these types of scams
@@Exarvi But making a guide of how to scam people isnt the move. However, im glad he talked about them, cause i couldve definately been got by some of these
2k a month is an understatement, the best scammers out there can make 10k+ and have reached top of networth leaderboards, especially if they rat on the side, they literally become rich in real life through scamming kids
“I hate that I even have to say this, but should you go and find these scammers and threaten to find their house and dox their location?” Absolutely no- yes
I saw a scam that would basically hack into your account and then you loose everything not only money. Obviously I didn't fall for it but basically they invite you to a discord e.g. for dungeons vc or similar where you need to verify that you re not a bot by logging in to a "hyAuth" bot which when you do it will ask you for a one time log in code which when you type it in the scammer can login with the code an do whatever he wants ... Pretty scary one imo
I dont know how known it is but a worse scam that I unfortunately fell for is people advertising discord channels to join in dungeon finders and once in the discord channel it has you “link” your account to verify you but its a scam to gain access to your email and your Minecraft account. Some of these scams are easy to avoid because they’re in server that very clearly was recently created but I got scammed because the server I fell for had 40k something people in it. It can also lead to the scammers being able to lock you out of your computer depending on if your email is linked to your computer
this quick buy scam ALMOST happend to me while lowballing, i was lowballing a livid, they had trans limit, they put it up for 140m instead of 14m i clikced it but the "are you sure screen thing went up"

My friend does f6 carries and one time he got ratted but then 2 days later the guy who stole his acc, his boss (the guy he works for) got threatened to be doxed.
a scam happened to me like 4 or 5 months ago, a guy told me to put ANCIENT on a wither googles (idk what i was thinking), i were helpfull so i just tried to help him, the guy told me the wither googles had bobim time 5 (or some enchantment that cost around 100m), the guy asked for collat, and i gave him my legendary bal pet (i still miss it), a scarf grimoire, and a fresh new storm set, then the guy "lagged in the trade", then he switched the wither googles with bobim time to a normal wither googles (they still had wisdom 5 and some t6 enchantments). in the end he asked me to put the wither googles for 5m and he would return an item (obviusly i didnt do it, it would be a massive loss and a second scam, so... thats why how i purchased for 100m a wither googles) anyways, the karma was good because 4 days later i got a handle in my 4th f7 run
Bro has the mod that lets you know the raw craft cost, which had already mentioned upon hovering your cursor to the items. Should've seen that coming tbh.
Guys, don't walk around with amount of money above what you're fine to lose due to a bazaar instabuy or some scam If it's hard, try playing without booster cookies lol The last one is partially a joke, but having no booster cookie in fact makes your coins safer
6:20 They are definitely working together, but not the same person. I've seen them both in the same lobby talking shit to the same person during a fishing festival.
For the quick buy scam, if you know what you are doing you can just buy all the cheap ones and leave the expensive one for free profit lol, I always do this
I recommend u guys especially in lowballing situations to always check the prices of items on a month scale If its manipulated ull see it instantly and there are plenty websites to check Quick example : Someone tried to sell me frozen blaze cp with a VERY expensive rune on it ( like 300-400m) and so to take it for like 350m I looked the ah transactions with those and saw that he actually was the only one to buy those cp after the ppl he scammed listed them for like 150m since it would have likely never sold otherwise Basically the rune on those has no real value, no one is buying those since they dont care about a frozen blaze set anyways, especially one overpriced af cuz of a random rune and he uses it to "fake" the lowball ig
the quick buy scam i got scammed for god pots for 50m one, bro was listing like 20 of them for 500k but one of them was actually at 50m, and i bought it...
I was scammed with the first method about 2 years ago, i don't know how nobody has talked about it, its a pretty common scam, but in my case they used tiki torches and took 60mil
There is a new scam today I fell for where a player will buy out the entire stock of for example ( mutant nether wart ) from the bazar and then set a sell order for 10m each. And I bought loads today accidently to fill a garden visitor order and realised it cost me 60 mil and lots other ppl fall for it too because many people automatically think the price will be 100k and not look before buying
personally i have found out about these scams and i am way to cautious about stuff like this so when a scammer came up to me with the first scam and i took about an hour to find where the hell he got these things eventually i did find it and reported him but the second one ive never been hit by it because im too broke to do that and still no matter what i look at the prices to see if they are all a good price
that scam isn't advanced for me, so low iq scam would never work since i know that item by default and how to get it and everything about it and any item in game, haven't seen any scam that would be even close to have a chance to scam me :(
My friend was having a bad day and decided to make himself happier by getting a Hyperion. He fell for the 2nd scam and lost all of his coins... I did happen to get 50m and give it to him though
I love how Hypixel is protecting these scammers. "Do not tell people to report scammers [people who are breaking our rules], because we will ban you [even though you did not break any rules]."

Quick example :
Someone tried to sell me frozen blaze cp with a VERY expensive rune on it ( like 300-400m) and so to take it for like 350m
I looked the ah transactions with those and saw that he actually was the only one to buy those cp after the ppl he scammed listed them for like 150m since it would have likely never sold otherwise
Basically the rune on those has no real value, no one is buying those since they dont care about a frozen blaze set anyways, especially one overpriced af cuz of a random rune and he uses it to "fake" the lowball ig
