Scamming

Scamming is the act of stealing money, items or ZARP VIP/Booster Packs from another player through deception or trickery. It is strictly prohibited under the rules and can be punishable by our administration team. Scamming has long been an issue on ZARP, and there is a wide range of scams that range from the obvious to the in-depth and complex. Nearly all scams involve tricking the victim one way or another, although sometimes scammers will exploit the Trade System or other game features or bugs in order to steal other players items.

Gambling games are not considered scamming. If you are not willing to lose your money/items do not participate in gambling.

Administrators must have evidence before punishing players for scamming. If you are unsure ask a community team member to investigate the logs.

How to avoid being scammed

• If a trade or deal seems good to be true, it’s most likely a scam.
• If the other player is requiring you to give them valuable items saying they will give you other items back in another trade, it is likely a scam.
• For very rare or expensive items that you’re not willing to lose. Do not drop them or gamble them at any point.
• Keep your account information secure. Only ever enter your ZARP account details on www.zarpgaming.com And remember a ZARP staff member will never ask for your password.
• ALWAYS check the trade menu carefully before pressing the Confirm trade button.
• Never give out more that you are willing to lose.
