The Duplicate Items Scam is an overly used scam, but is still being used to this very day. This is how it works: The scammer tells the player that dropping an item and hitting Alt+F4 will double that item. The person being scammed drops their most valuble item and hits Alt+F4, which is the Windows shortcut to close a program, therefore logging the person being scammed out. The scammer then picks up that item and will most likely sell it.

It should be noted, however, that even the one being scammed is trying to take advantage of a bug.
