Did I Just Get Scammed?

[Try Range]

Kid told me to lend him my robin for 1 hour while he traded me a Robin.

He then retraded and asked for it back, so I did... am i getting mine back in an hour or... ?

[stui]

why would you give him it back :O?

but i think there is a scam going around with it but idk, ive heard about it

WARNING: There is currently a scam in which a player will offer you an item in return that you lend them the exact same item, they will then get to the final trade screen and DECLINE it, though it appears you have actually accepted it and received their item. They will then ask you to return the item that they 'gave' you in return for a large sum of money, though in reality you're actually just giving them your item, rather than (what appears to be) their own.

You lost your robin hat or whatever.

This was the latest scam people were pulling on people. I know how to perform it and it is quite simple. But I am not an idiot so I dont perform it on people.
