i get those sorts of messages all the time. the last one was offering $100 in return for several thousand dollars and about 1000 tokens.
you just have to make sure you always ready your trades very carefully before you accept.
that got me in trouble once when someone sent me the payment for an animal i was selling once. i ended up sending them 200 tokens by accident instead of the other way around simply because i didn't read the trade properly. and that was AFTER i accepted their bids on the animals. i messaged them about it and sent a trade for them to send me 400 tokens. i didn't hear anything from them for two weeks and i was really starting to panic. if i didn't trust the player explicitly i would have reported them. fortunately it ended up being a genuine mistake on their part and they just weren't online for two weeks and as soon as they got back they sent the 400 tokens over. yay for honest players  |

Is there anything to be done? Like warnings or lowering there rating each time someone reports it? |

| Message them and ask them (nicely) to please stop making such bids. If they don't then message me and I'll message them with a warning. After which I'll let you know I have and ask you to let me know if the player continues. |

Having the same problem! I get about 2 or 3 every week and sometimes, the trades are as ridiculous as "They give you 0 play cash and 0 tokens in return for $2,000,000,000 Playcash and 10000 Tokens"!! It makes me so mad. I like your idea about having warnings, kind of like strikes in baseball maybe? Three and you're out? It seems a bit harsh, but people HAVE to stop this! It is annoying as well as disrespectful and rude to other players!
