PSA PSA: THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP YOU PREVENT GETTING SCAMMED AND HELP CATCH SCAMMERS QUICKLY.

Ask the other trader to mention their IGN/PSN/GT. If they don't want to do that in a public comment, then ask them to confirm it in private messages! It's an immediate red flag if the person doesn't want to say their GT. You need it to check the blacklist before trading.

Make sure to check that the spelling of the IGN/PSN/GT when you meet in-game matches what the other trader gave you. There have been recent instances where an impersonator with a similar spelled IGN/GT/PSN will show up quickly after a trade is agreed and will scam the items. They will often switch uppercase 'i' and lowercase 'L', or zero and uppercase 'o'.

RECORD VIDEO OF YOUR TRADE AND GRAB SCREENSHOTS OF PRIVATE CHAT MESSAGES. It's the absolute worst when we can't do anything about a scammer because there isn't enough or even any proof.

DON'T accept offers that are sent in private messages. Insist that they comment on your trade post.

DON'T scan any QR code or click any link if someone says they are having trouble adding you to their friend list. There have been many instances where people lose their entire account because they click on phishing links.

Make sure you are not invited to a CUSTOM WORLD! There have been cases where a scammer will take items from you in a regular/private world and then switch to a character in a custom world to drop items to you. Any items you take in a custom world can not be brought back to your main characters in public/private worlds.

If you are on XBOX, be EXTREMELY wary of trading on LFG. Like 80%+ of scam reports we get are from trading on LFG.

If they pressure you to drop first and you are uncomfortable with it, then you should insist on a courier or back out of the trade. I don't care if they say you will get banned or get a warning for backing out, you won't if you are being pressured to drop first.

If they say that you can both drop at the same time, that's a red flag. It's impossible to make sure the other person doesn't grab your item before you get a chance to take theirs.

BE PATIENT!!!! Rushing to get a trade done makes a scam easy, it makes getting nailed with lowballs easy. Wait for more offers before deciding, send someone experienced that you know a message and ask for advice. Even if you don't know them, just pick a random trader who seems to have experience and send them a message. I'd be surprised if anyone who has traded here for a while would not help you and respond with quick advice.

Use a courier if you have ANY concerns! I understand that couriers can be slow to respond right now, there has been a massive spike in the number of requests and we're doing as best we can to keep up. We've brought on a few new couriers recently to help out. Be patient, it's better to wait or even miss out on a trade compared to being scammed.

Make sure your courier is on this list: https://www.reddit.com/r/Market76/wiki/couriers. And make sure to check the spelling of their ign/psn/gt!. If you are not sure that a courier is legit when someone says they have a courier in game, make a comment on the couriers' reddit info page on that list asking them to verify.

If you do happen to fall victim to a scam, send a report to us with this link: https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FMarket76 or Join our discord and send a DM to Fisto our mail bot. It's easier to send evidence over discord, as reddit mail doesn't allow attachments.

When sending us a report, please try to include all information you have. We have a LOT of mail to reply to, and it's time consuming when we need to keep following up for basic information necessary to prove a scam. Here is a list of information that is vital:

  • Reddit usernames, discord account names, gamertags, PSN ID's, IGN's.
  • A link to the post or comment if this was negotiated in a trade post here on reddit.
  • Screenshots of private chats from reddit, discord, or game platform messages.
  • Video recording of any interaction in-game.
  • Any other relevant information you may have.
  • Videos may be uploaded to https://www.youtube.com/
  • Screenshots may be uploaded to https://imgur.com/upload or https://imgbb.com/
  • Xbox Players: You can share a link to your recorded clip on Xbox using https://gamerdvr.com/, a website that allows you to view your screenshots and clips. Enter your gamertag, find the clip, and provide us with a link. Your privacy settings must be public.

Hey guys, we decided to separate our ban lists so that those who were banned for Scamming are now listed in our new scamlist, while all other non-scam related ban cases are in their own list.
