I put a stamp on trading post and immediately there was an offer
(the amount is what I asked for)
but the account looked suspicious
7 year account
but no avatar, no stamp,no trophies, pets had low level

I rejected the offer in fear that I might get frozen.

I would like to know what should I do next time if the same thing happens ?

Meh

Cash is cash

[Jaws]

Can they really freeze you for accepting a bid from an illegit account?
I thought they'd get rid of the item at the most, or in your case of the neopoints
Either way, I would have accepted.

Neomail him and say that you rejected accidentally, and get his cash!

Request a 25% additional danger fee.

There was a case on the AC where someone was gifting Nerkmids. One kid got one, sold it, and then used the nps, and then got frozen. The others who sold the Nerkmids has the nps deducted. I don't know what happened to the people who used the Nerkmid. I'm guessing they would have been frozen. Apparently TNT doesn't give a fuck about players who unwittingly accept tainted items or nps, it's a one way trip to Iceland if they can't simply rid your account of the taint.

That's so ridiculous...those players haven't done anything wrong.

Maybe they wanted to build the shell or for their main idk?

That's what I fear...
cause I remember seeing a guy on trading/auction forum says
he got frozen because of that

For some reason, i typed optimistic instead of pessimistic. *facepalm*

[Zarathustra]

I would be more worried about how much you're asking since someone jumped at the price.

I know right?! TNT should really fix that thing up... Or at least make it easier to get your account back! D: Wow you got a pixel that may or may not be legit who cares, you shouldn't get your hard work taken away from you just for that.....
It really sucks when you wait a couple of months for TNT to reply to your ticket only to get called a scammer and to fuck off/start over again.
Arghgfjhfk so dumb /frustrate

heh heh you said taint

Anyway I don't check accounts before accepting/rejecting unless it's a stupid noob offer or they're obviosly trying to scam me. Then I only look at their account on my way to the "block" page

Oh jeez, something that small is no big deal at alll.

Preeeetty sure even TNT have better things to do than do a background check on items like that. That's precious time they could be using to concoct some disastrous new event like Tarla's Tour.

I once sold a 5m item to a 5 day old account.

Hmm, then I guess I really over thinked

I just reached 10m yesterday and don't want to get frozen again

because of stupid stuff like this

[ch33psh33p]

I befriend high end accounts that seem legit, but are actually cheaters to act as my pseudo mains, to deceive paranoid kids who don't want to deal with my shell.

[Hydrange]

I would have accepted. Like someone said cash is cash. It's not your job to guess if they cheated or not, it's TNT's.

[Applepi]

Yup a low value item like that wont raise many flags. It becomes fishy when you're dealing in millions of nps...
