With the introduction of the Item Lending system on 14 July, 2008, this scam has become somewhat obsolete. However, a new type of borrowing scam emerged with the system. The scammer would offer to loan his or her item in exchange for cash. In the trade window, the scammer would lend their item with the option "Until Logout", and the victim would offer the cash. After the trade was completed, the scammer would immediately log out and regain the loaned item. This new form of scamming can be reportable under item scamming.
