Taking sufficient care when lending or borrowing an item.

Borrowing or lending items is often employed by perpetrators as a way to scam players, so the best way to prevent fraud here is to not lend out items at all. However, we realise that there are cases where players may still wish to lend an item. In this case we suggest that you take the following steps to protect yourself.


1. Be sure to make clear that you are only lending the item, and that it needs to be returned.
2. Be sure to make clear what the other party needs to do in case he/she loses the item in question. In other words, what kind of compensation will be made and how it will be made.
3. Both parties need to agree to the terms upon which the item is going to be lent.

If you find yourself a victim of a scam, please report your case to a GM who will investigate and attempt to reimburse any items they can reclaim from the offending party. However, we cannot guarantee that items lost in scams will be returned to you. The first step is to always safeguard yourself against any suspicious in-game activity.
