    As some of you might now, I was survivor last week and over the course of this week, I've gotten to immortal. Today i'll be sharing my experience of trading in game items for ranks and a guide on how to avoid getting scammed.

    My Experience.

    Last friday, I won a giveaway setup by a helper @CHLNGE, from this I got VIP rank, free. The next few days was tough, through the whole day I was asking chat if anyone was selling ranks. At last during US prime time @Pink_Sweater messaged me and we setup a deal, 13 bikes for VIP to Ultra. He bought the Vip - > Elite, Elite - > hardcore and Hardcore - > Ultra all in one basket which might have caused the problems. Only the elite rank had first gone through and over the course of the next 8-12 hours i was panicking to some, this may seem like a short wait but I can assure you it felt like an eternity the process of finding a suitable staff that can deal with the issue is what could be considered a long wait time. But once you get a staff that is equipped to deal with the issue it will be rather quick. From there the next day I repeated the same method of asking in global, same thing happened got my rank from ultra to god for 417k + 2 cars. And the last day I was offered a deal 3 million for god to ultra which thank god i denied because shortly after someone else offered to buy it for me for free. Thanks @Contigo2012 <3 .

    Guide on how to not get scammed.

    1. Always have some sort of recording software before hand and test to see if it works for you (@DarkChaoticPower ).

    2. The video should include the terms of the deal and the payment you make

    3. Avoid shady people that make claims who do not add up or have scammed in the past

    4. Avoid paying the whole sum at once. Try negotiating a payment of paying half first and half after the transaction is finished.

    5. Trade with people who have done such trades and are known to be reputable people

    6. Try to get a middleman. (This is the one thing that seems so obvious yet people don't even do this)

    7. Avoid trading with people who don't have ranks or have low ranks.

    8. Always fact check claims that sellers make. (@Da_fish_ offered to buy me god rank and said he had upgraded @Ryaplaysmc, but when i checked with @Ryaplaysmc he had no rank)

    Additional points :
    1.Most of the rank selling occurs on TMD-1
    2.Most of the rank selling occurs during prime times
    3.Try to buy a rank during the period of a sale.

    If there's any additional questions post them below and i'll answer em.

    This is some good advice. The one thing I always make sure of when I buy other people ranks, crates, etc, is to always record it or take screenshots of it.
