There is some kind of scam (IDK how people do this) that before you confirm your trade, all of the items will blink very quickly, then come back. IF THIS HAPPENS, DO NOT CONFIRM! EXIT OUT OF THE TRADE ASAP! If you do confirm, the scammer will get your items, but you won't get their's. I know several people this has happened to, and I've read about it before, too.

Sorry if you already know this; it always helps to refresh your memory!

So... yeah. I just thought that would be helpful to traders! =)

Wow, thank you!!! The item blinking has happend when I was trying to trade. Fortunatly for me their items were not something I wanted, and all of them have hit the trade button. I thought it was a glitch, as the chat was slow also. Once again another WI member has saved me from making a mistake.

My friend recently found this one too. We call it "ghost item". Scammer's are getting smart, be careful out there guyes.

I have seen that blinking stuff but thought it was one of the hundred glitches in WW. Thankfully, I have not lost anything.

Thank you for the heads up.
