I was in a game with another barb who I hadn't played with before. He kept raving about my equipment, then proceeded to ask me if I could show him my Immortal King's Triumph in the trade window so he could compare it to his helmet (I guess in the trade window equipment shows increase/decrease in damage and life etc as if it were in your inventory). I am the paranoid type and I have seen a topic here or there about people scamming through ingame trades so I told him no.
So are there any scams where someone can somehow steal an item from you without hitting accept or am I just being really paranoid?
I'd say not possible w/o hitting accept, but there is possibility that when you DRAG your item from inventory to the trade window, if he closes the window at right time, you will actually drop your gear on the ground. Now it can be picked up by ANYONE. That's a way of scam.
Always use right-click to move the gear from inventory to trade window.
