The following situations are real (as real as Gaia can be) and it's possible you may have witnessed
some of them, if not all of them. Identities won't be revealed to protect user's integrity and
of course, mine ninja
_Fake your own death in order to keep a borrowed item.
_Use a close relative's death as an excuse to receive donations for your quest.
_Offer cybersex in exchange of gold, and more lame, charge 100g for your services.
_Asking angelic minis for a pic of yourself topless.
_Snag some girl's pics you found in the web to seduce rich and hormonal kids in Gaia and get expensive items from them (a.k.a gold digger).
_Saying you have a serious illness such as "cancer" so people get simpathetic with you and sell you the item of your dreams.
_Pretend to be a girl when you're actually a guy and fake a pregnancy to get gifts in your "babyshower".
_Marry with a rich gaian.
_Become friends with rich gaians and pretend not to be interested in their fortune and make them think your friendship is real and be a complete suck up so when they leave you can keep their most valuable items and sell them. That's what I like to call being "good friends".
_Scam innocent gaians.
_Beg in every single thread you can find, it may be annoying but perhaps someone will feel sorry for you and donate to you.
