How to Trade Safely in Murder Mystery 2 (Avoid the Common Scams)
Never hand over your item first, and never use a middleman you do not personally know outside the game. Most Murder Mystery 2 scams work by rushing you or by swapping the offered item right before you accept, so slow down and check the trade screen carefully before confirming anything.

The middleman scam
A stranger offers to hold both sides of a cross trade as a trusted middleman, then disappears with everything once you hand your item over. Being called trusted in a Discord server does not make someone accountable if they run off with your knife. Avoid cross trades with a middleman you do not personally know outside the game.
The switcheroo and fake overpays
Some scammers show you one item, then swap it for a lower tier lookalike right before you hit accept, so always recheck the trade screen before you confirm. Others offer what looks like a huge overpay using items that are low demand and hard to trade off, then rush you to accept before you can check real values.
Rules that protect you
Only trade with people who let you check the trade screen carefully and calmly. Walk away from anyone pressuring you to hurry or claiming their offer expires in seconds. If a deal only works because you decide fast, it is not a deal worth taking.
