The OLDEST Scam in Skyblock History

[@imasquidkid]

EDIT: ‼I made a quick part 2 for this video, its in the description so you should go watch it‼ Hi guys! First off, sorry the long gaps of time between uploads (I'm working on it!). Second, please don't go and reach out to anyone featured in the video to harass them or anything, it's just not cool and doesn't help with anything. Lastly, if you want to see a little bit more of my content, I stream on twitch sometimes so if you want heres the link for that: www.twitch.tv/im_a_squid_kid Oh, and thanks for using code "squid" on the hypixel store, thanks guys! ❤ There's a sick fire sale right now!

stop taking the technoblade route of uploads. Also its fine its just getting us a bit worried.

Well that admin definitely seemed informed and responsible. Also kudos for that one guy being honest. It's a shame mmos are so full of scammers

hrsaa is the goat. Didn’t try to scam, wasn’t in it to buy the exotics himself, just trying to help someone who in his eyes needed it.

[@wakaitsu]

You know what's funny tho? In several slavic languages calling somebody a goat is an offense, it means you think that person is being stubborn either because they are too dumb to read the room or for no reason at all.

i hate this video, just made me realize i got scammed an exotic miner set back in 2021, sold it for 5m rip

[@CyberN-7660]

The backstory from the intro reminds me of that one episode of SpongeBob, where Mr. Krabs sold a hat to SpongeBob for a cheap price, only to realize that the hat was actually *considered* priceless 😂

[@seanseen_]

was that really cool guy trying to scam him? I dont think I saw anything like that. What was the twist?

[@Willwaterprism]

@@seanseen_ it was all faked as a social experiment, unless I'm stupid but rewatch the end.

[@skypapi0]

⁠@@Willwaterprism The social experiment was him pretending to be a noob with exotics. The interactions were the output of the experiment. It’s probably not faked dawg

[@SpennyBoi]

@@Willwaterprismit was made public knowledge that it was a social experiment from the start wdym it was faked?

[@dtharve]

Damn, those admins really know their stuff. It's crazy how many people are into exotics and what they'll do for them

[@asuperhokeypokey9551]

Not all for the exotics, the scammers are probably just in it for the money. The economy had inflated a lot and not all the new players know that and that’s partially what scammers use to trick the old players

[@juanpls3856]

When there's money on the way trust no one, also if you get a really good offer right away they are offering just a fraction of what you have is worth

[@MesozoicGamer]

This is really common. I've had friends that I have had to warn because people have had their IRL family contacted over these exotics.

[@momoaa]

whats even more surprising is that you expect there not to be scammers in a game for children

[@iVoltrex]

Wait bro got the rare discord call sound 💀and he didn't realize

[@imasquidkid]

WAIT YOU ARE RIGHT! also you are somehow the first person to comment this

[@georgeofhamilton]

Holy crap, the production value of this video is exceptional.

[@hibuddy1473]

The actual staff showing you a tracking of the items in the original player's account is a funny af "this u?" moment

[@1mpy]

As someone who was in the exotic/crystal community for a while(I'm an ex-admin of Crystal Cafe), its surprising to see some people I know being mentioned in this video. Even I get messages like how much for my superior often because I have a low level which leads people into thinking that I wouldn't know the value of the set. Really just shows how far someone would go for a few more in-game digits.

[@applecat1784]

yes, its tragic, personally i would never scam someone in that way

[@Jaas_]

At 10:04 the guy who tried to scam you is actually a booster in the exotic cafe 😂

bro hearing squids voice gives memories of the great war it was said that techno farmed so many potatoes that all of the orphans and prisoners had no mashed potatoes to eat

[@80greaty]

Haven't played skyblock in years but that's crazy how much depth the game has now, you'd need to play for months to understand how anything works in the economy

[@pootch1969]

Bro learnt to spot manipulation after the potato war ptsd

[@Mysp02]

the "if you even want to obviously" is also a form of indirect manipulation, as it makes the person think that they have control, but youve been asking them to do it, so they are already inclined to do it

[@Jamstaro1]

Fun rule of thumb. If people are approaching you for something that. To you. Seems mundane as hell. Always stop and question WHY they're trying to ask something of you...

[@BirnieMac1]

Skyblock almost feels like the younger generation’s runescape for learning about scams and that if something is too good to be true, it probably is Like how we most have a childhood memory getting scammed in an MMO Making the scammers bid against each other was hilarious

[@WordsDontHurt]

this was really good, the editing was really nice and the video had great pacing as well. great video to come back with squid.

[@funky555]

Techno has taught you well in manipulation tactics lol

[@Satyr_13]

Dude when I first started skyblock I got given really good gear that kickstarted me really well, and then there was the disgusting price hiking of riding pigs when Technoblade passed. Skyblock has extremely varied players.

[@The_PerfectDark]

Exotics are just exotic garbage, its like wrapping a cardboard box and throwing glitter on it and saying it costs 100m

[@COOOLDUDE]

great video. i "almost" got caught up in this myself; i apparently have dyed angler armor and so for a while i'd have people messaging me and party inviting me every time i logged on to hypixel (which tbf isn't often nowadays). i never even had to enter skyblock. i'd be trying to play an smp with some irls and id have people messaging me and party inviting me wanting to buy my armor. i knew i was never gonna sell it but i got rly lucky cuz the only time i decided to actually respond to one of them just to see wtf was up it was a nice guy like hsraa who explained everything to me and was super chill about the fact that i didnt want to sell it. haven't even gotten any msgs about it since then. glad to know i dodged a bullet haha

When did sky block turn into crypto scam simulator people trying to finesse the way onto the top by scamming young players for their exotic armor. Tricking them making them think that 50 million coins is worth their 2 billion coins worth armor.🤣

[@elviraweekes3906]

This is one of the times I can actually say I respect the hustle.

[@TimeIy]

this is SO well made and I really enjoyed watching

[@OstojaSRB]

Funny story, I got scammed like this. I had fully black lapis armor and I sold it for something like 20m coins 😅 That was 3 years ago and after coming back to skyblock recently I got rly salty. If I had a chance to undo that I would, not because I lost potential money but simply because I wouldn't have sold it at all today. Welp, too bad too sad, however I'm glad to see ppl trying to prevent this from happening to other players

[@TropicalSkeleton]

POV they try to scam u

[@Thowe]

I had about 10 sets of exotic dragon sets from a three person coops. One day the island glitched, all the portals broke, chests empty, minions broken, everything wasn't working or was gone. Skyblock support didn't do anything about it so we lost out on billions of coins. Me and one dude quit but the other one still plays. RIP exotic

[@tallkids-spencerhuyck179]

So much malicious desperation over a cosmetic legacy in a block game. Thankfully it doesn’t affect smart people (I also heard Mojang is against servers that don’t cater to 10 year olds and if that’s a sword Mojang is willing to swing skyblock is screwed)

[@dionysus6081]

This reminded me that on my main account I bought exotic wise armor just after they became unobtainable at the time they went for 1.5 to 2x of undyed armor. I still have it on my acount, purple chest plate black pants white boots. That was actually my first ever set of dragon armor.

omg imagine getting scammed then scamming some idiot but now the fact its not the real thing make it like 10x value

[@BedwarsTrios]

Im not here to say sharking is right or wrong ( ill say ive done it in the past ) but the way i view it is if a non with a rare setlogs om 1 time a year to collect stuff then logs off forever untill another year passes its just collectables never being passed around in the game when they could be
