Stay safe

TradingKeep connects traders; the exchange itself happens inside the game. These seven rules block essentially every known scam pattern.

1. 1.Trades finish in-game — with the exact person you accepted

   Before handing anything over, check that the in-game name matches the trader on the accepted offer. Scammers impersonate handles with near-identical names. If anything looks off, walk away and report.

2. 2.Never 'trust trade'

   Any request to trade items first 'to prove trust', or to accept before both sides' items are in the window, is a scam. No exceptions, no matter how many good reviews they have.

3. 3.There are no middlemen

   TradingKeep has no middleman service, and most games ban third-party middlemen outright. Anyone offering to 'hold items' for you — including someone claiming to be TradingKeep staff — is scamming you.

4. 4.No real money, ever

   Item-for-item only. Real-money or gift-card offers violate game rules, get your game account banned, and get the other party permanently removed from here. Report them immediately.

5. 5.Links in chat are never clickable — on purpose

   We deliberately render every chat message as plain text. Anyone asking you to type a link into your browser to 'verify', 'claim a prize', or 'vote for them' is phishing for your game account.

6. 6.Confirm only after the trade is done

   The 'confirm trade' button is your receipt. Press it only after the items are actually in your inventory — both sides must confirm before the trade counts and reviews unlock.

7. 7.Got scammed anyway? Report it

   Use the report button on the trader's profile or offer thread. Every report is tracked to a visible outcome. Confirmed scams permanently flag the account — loudly, on every listing they post.
