I dunno if anyone posted but I know (name) does this.
He has a rare and says offer me...so they offer retail
U put the rare in then he puts his in and auto-cancels
He says o too slow, u gotta agree rite away,

u agree rite away and boom a z shelf for ur hcs!

the same thing happened to me but i forgot his name it was a long time ago.. he said his computer was messed up, whenever he put a furni in the box it would cancel. it started to get suspicious so he put in a z shelf but my reflexes are too slow so i saw the z stand before i agreed :)

No you wouldnt, give him a break, i fell for it on Coke and im Sure many other people have. Most of the time ive seen or heard the scam being done they say lets play a game, and they are making such a good deal that you humor them and play along, cuz u want the good deal. If your not expecting it, then you have no chance if your playing along the righ way, cause they say too slow and eventually when ur doing it as fast as u can they just chenge it out of the blue, and whammoo...On coke sum1 chnged it from a Gong to a Cd Disk, and since they are both circualr, then i had no idea until i checked my bag. :eusa_wall

Interesting :p I guess it would be possible to fall for this, so I do thankyou for making other habbos aware... the scams habbos come up with, it's like they sit at their computer thinking up new scams... :s Who would do that?

Again, I think it's common sense to know that if someone was doing that to you it was going to be something dodgy... It's not clever, a scam is a scam and I'm sure there is thousands of them.
