- Ok well let's start off with a legit lobby host will "NEVER" beg for you to pay for a lobby. As a "RETIRED" jtagger(RED RING OF DEATH) if you don't want to pay formy lobby i will just kick you out of my game because i have other "WORTHY" customers that are willing to pay me.
- A trick to lure a "JTAGGER SCAMMER" is to tell them you have a 1600 MSP card and see what they say if you ignore them and they start to beg and get you to join there lobby and are CONSTANTLY bothering you chances are they are a scammer
- This is probably the "BEST" way to figure out if someone is trying to scam you into there lobby ok first ask what kind of bootloader they run(Correct Answer=XEX LOADER) and ask them what type of jtag they have(Correct Answer=Xenon,Falcon,Jasper or falcon) if they make up an excuse or don't know it's a lie for sure
- Also if you have a bad feeling about the guy if he has incorrect grammar(EXAMPLES
K,PlZ,hOW MUcH r u WIlLing To PaY?) or anyother flaws he's probably a scammer
- And lastly if he has a low rep,new to the site or a low post count this could also tell you if a person is a scammer but these are not always correct somepeople might just make a new account so they can advertise there lobbys but just go with your gut feeling!!
- Also when using paypal DO NOT pay until you get into the lobby ok
- IF YOUR BUYING A XBOX THAT HAS BEEN JTAGGED *READ*
If you would like to see if someone Kv's (KEYVAULT) to see if it is banned just to make sure your not buying a banned kv just open up the keyvault in *notepad*/*hexeditor* and look for the serial number then register the serial number here You must login or register to view this content. and request a repair and if it gives you an error it's most likeley banned so yeah I've seen people selling banned kv's so just letting you guys know

Im so skeptical about all these people doing this. Why is it always necessary that we pay first? If they have the capabilities to do this then do they have an almost infinite resource? If we have to pay msp or money we have more to lose! I really wish there was less of a worry when doing this but I guess it is the nature of the transaction
Because scamming goes both ways. It costs people who host money to put these things on as well as having a limited time frame. This means we try to get as many people in and out of the lobby as possible in that time frame.

What exactly is the cost associated with hosting a lobby?

Can’t trickshot me!
This is here and stickied right? Yet still I hear people complain about getting scammed. Its really obvious to other people that jtag but really most of its common sense you don't just walk up to someone wearing a suit and give them $20. I mean really these are mostly all strangers at least to me I don't personally know 1 person off this site and I might be better off for that. lol
