Path of Exile Scam Types: 6L to 6S, lvl.4 to lvl.3 – Treasure to Trash Replacement

This is the most common type of personal scam and the hardest to spot, probably. As well as easiest to fall for. Happens in multiple iterations:
1) The seller simply places fake/wrong/5l/lvl3 item straight away. This scammer is lazy and just tries a straighforward scam. If it does not work he cancels and leaves the party (happened to me here).
2) The seller first puts correct item then CANCELS, thus lulling your vigilance, then on SECOND TRY places fake/wrong/5l/lvl3. Since you already saw the glimpse of “correct” item in the first trade you might not bother checking the second time and automatically accept. EZ 4 EX
The most common scams are placing lvl.3 Empower/Enlighten instead of lvl.4 and placing 6 socket items instead of 6 linked items.
Always TRIPLE CHECK YOUR TRADE WINDOW!
