We've received several reported posts regarding scamming over XBL. There's however nothing we can do about it; we can't punish the member because it is your word against his/her.

Use your common sense when trading, if a deal seems to good to be true it most likely is.
 
I'd also like to point out that post count and time here are good to watch out for - if the trader has been here a while, and has alot of posts, chances are he's legit, but if it's one guy that's just joined up to get your code, I'd be a bit wary.

Unless you're trading with somebody that you actually know on these forums, I recommend that nobody trades without an extremely trustworthy middleman (like projectego, or any other staff member here) or unless the person you're trading with is offering to give their code first. Those are my personal trading rules.
 
Evil Scammers.... I got scammed once out of an inquisitor sword code... guy even kept apologizing and saying he had no idea the code was used and he never used. A quick call to Microsoft confirmed that it was his gamertag who has used it. Ah well I was still able to get ALL the DLC :)

is there, any pictures of these swords I never got one =[ :P.
 
Actually if you head to gamefaqs you can find my guide for all of the DLC. Just search (Please Sticky) and you should find it and it all has links to pictures :)
 
All right, please let me know if you find it just so I'm sure it's still there :). Maybe I should post it on these forums?

That's something i've been considering. I know i'm a newbie here (or peasant....Tyrant Lord) myself, but i have a few items i'd be willing to trade, long hair for example (great for looking like Jesus). After reading through the forums, i found quite a few people need it but most asking for it, generally also had a low post count or were new and put me off helping them. Any tips on choosing a newbie to help? Are the community generally an honest bunch?

Perfect Example
 
In the good old Fable II days I got scammed by a randomer on XBL when I was a noob, and someone on this forum gave me compensation in the form of a butt load of goodies. I've never had a bad run-in on this forum in the ways of trading.
 
yes, you need to be careful. there are alot of Hazers lurking the forums unregistered.

PS: Id be willing to trade anything i can. i am only using 2 out of the 50 weapons :D
 
i think i was about to be scam by Hamish strachan
i really don't know, is just im the first one to trade my code all the time and for the first time i ask for the code first i told him im willing to give him the inquisitor and channeler just for the champion hammer but he need it to give me to code first, after that he did not answer.s:( i really want that hammer!!
 
Well there was no trade for the Champion Hammer :( anyways I Still have 3 Channelers and 1 Inquisitor code to trade My GT is Selfishcrow, i would put a pic but my camera memory is missing​

Have to jump in here real fast and clear Hamish strachan's name.
I traded one of my Inquisitor Sword codes for Hamish strachan's Champion Hammer code.
He gave his code first, I then gave mine. Everything went smoothly.

TL;DR Hamish strachan is NOT a scammer.
