The Trimming Armour Scam is a scam in which the scammer pretends he is trimming armour for free in order to take free armour from other players. Hundreds of innocent people are scammed each year out of sets of expensive armour. It is similar to the Upgrading Armour Scam. This is a direct violation of the Scamming rule under the Honour category, and the punishment is typically a long-term mute or ban. Since Free Trade was restored, players who claim to "trim armour" have resurfaced, but are significantly less common than they were before the original removal of free trade.
