Scam Warning - Selling Items for Real Money

If you see any player attempt to sell items to another player for real money e.g. "If you credit my PayPal account with $5 I'll gift you the Oaken Chair" please report them!

This is a very dangerous practice that is causing real loss for unsuspecting people. A similar scam is the "if you buy Gold for me I'll do x, y or z for you".

Never accept an offer like this from another player - there is no way to be sure that they will not just keep your money - it's a classic scam. Besides, it's almost always better value to earn or buy some Gold and purchase the item from SmallWorlds or another player using the proper buy/sell process.

SmallWorlds will instantly ban any player who takes part in a transaction like this - this includes both buyers and sellers.

Never share your personal information (such as PayPal account email addresses etc.) with other players.

SmallWorlds cannot accept responsibility or compensate people in any way for any loss they may have suffered for taking part in this practice. Always report players who take part in scamming.
