Turns out there's a bug where you can remove gold and items from a trade when the other player is still locked in without having it unlock for them (if you remove the item and accept the trade fast enough), allowing you to just instantly take what they have, and most of the time, not have to pay for it at all.

Just got scammed for, about 100K gold worth in Legendary Mats.

And be aware that people can just take all of your stuff without paying a single gold if you're not paying enough attention.

And so, Akatosh revealed himself to a young Gaben, and granted him purpose.
"Grant them Steam sales," he commanded.
And obey, he did.

    Report him via ticket, you should get your gold/mats back.

    Posting the name (lol) on forums just gets you a forum warning/ban. Regardless of what offense he did.

    Sorry about that. I'm kind of new to the forums.

    The worst part is that this bug has been around (and reported as such many, many times) since BETA 3 years ago ...

    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    Take the name of the cheater down, but leave directions on how to use a scamming up... ZOS logic.

    Not had this happen to me until last night, did you happen to see this guy in DC / EU? Within a few moments of logging in, I accepted his trade and he was constantly putting a Honing Stone in and out of trade quickly, stood there like for a minute like, "what?" then he started doing it with a Dwarven Oil. Thanks for letting us know it's a scam!

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm glad I don't trade players, I do my trading via guild traders. ^^
