My first time using this app trying to sell a titanium white octane on xbox. I had no clue how anything worked so i saw a comment in the comments saying that my item had sold so i traded the item to a listed gamertag in said comment. It looked like a confirmation saying the item was bought so i went ahead and traded. A few moments later the item actual did sell and so then i knew i was scammed. I took screenshots of the comments on my post as well as the in game chat with who i traded with. The actual buyer was understanding, but of course when contacting the scammer i recieved no reply. Is there anything that can be done? ---

Unfortunately there isn’t anything that can be done to recover the item. You can report the scammer and they will ban the account. ---

Would it help new users like you if the warning message about comment scammers were more visible?
