I have a scam that's not on this list:
The "I'm a GM" scam.
Intro:
A noob trades you, impersonating a GM.
The situation:
You are just strolling around. Suddenly, a low leveled person trades you. He says "Hi, I'm a GM. I have noticed something a problem on your account. I suggest you give me your ID, Password, and PIN, and then I'll fix your account." You give him your account info, and he tells you to log off. Then, you try logging on again later, only to find out that your PIN has been changed. You've been had.
The solution:
Keep in mind that Game Masters will NEVER ask you for your account information. It even says so on the MapleTips.
