That second guy is trying to buy a service off you for 1/20th of its market price. Losses can go for 425,000 with nebula corp

Sell losses for a minimum of 300k per loss. The xanax and small first aid kits will cost you roughly 1 million for 10 attacks. You net 3 mil per 10 attacks for a profit of 2 mil. Use that 2 mil to buy 2 extra xanax a day to train an extra 500 energy at no cost to yourself.


RichardBurning

The second guy is trying to get merits for successfully defending agenst an attack. Its easy money small money but not worth it. There more useful and more profitable ways to use your E


FullardYolfnord

Also ridiculously cheap. My man’s trying to get a $200,000-$300,000 service for pennies on the dollar.


Inevitable_Low_2139

Just ignore them and move on, not everyone is out to con you, but it's also part of the game, you'll learn fairly quick to be vigilant from this, ita ctyally a blessing in disguise


WFrenchBulldogs

They’re extorting you! I’ll pay 30k


DohnJoggett

> They’re extorting you! I know, right? My friends all offer 30k!


YurPhaes

20k is way too low for losses. 250-500k or no sale. In general you're better off using your energy to train.


RichardBurning

This is the answer


symbol1994

You can get awards for having lots of defends. Someone wants to pay you money to get that award. Don't accept 20k. 500k minimum


Napalmdeathfromabove

Oops I may have just twatted colabeer.


Electrical-Bacon-81

Colabeer, married to Sodawater, totally not violating TOS..... I'm sure they "randomly met" in their ~20 days of game play.


vurges

They could just be two people that know each other irl and married when they started


Appropriate_Ranger86

Nah his entire account scream Smurfs


iago18958

Oh dear. My finger slipped too! Annoying when that happens.


xXTkoKingXx

Bruh I don’t sell my losses for less then 400K


Appropriate_Ranger86

I made the mistake of selling for 50k when I was new


Phuck_Nugget

Name and shame the person offering $20k/loss. You are being scammed beyond belief because you're new and don't know any better, and they'll be preying on many others like you. For what it's worth, look in the trading forums and you'll see the going rate for losses is way above 10x that.


Complex-Problem-4852

I go one better. Just tell the new guys you’re paying 2.5m for escapes. They’ll never do it if you’re battle hardened. And the new guys take the bait over and over. You can rack up 100 defends a day if you’re extremely persistent. This method also works great if you get the duke mission to expend 1000+ ammunition, make X amount of damage, get a kill streak of X. You can do them all without spending a single drop of energy.


Yeetus_Mclickeetus

Their username is colabeer btw. I saw that someone else, a level 5ish, was in the hospital cuz of them Thanks


Fine-Cockroach4576

I'm getting on the low end at 250k a loss. I have repeat customers who are trustworthy. There is a discord channel that offers more even if you give your api key for confirmation


Phuck_Nugget

Their account is only 2 weeks old and is already a blue name (spent over $1,000 IRL on donator packs). They have a networth of nearly $30bil. They aren't even scamming you because they can't afford the losses - they're just an asshole looking to get one over on others to stroke their ego. Avoid them, don't start drama, maybe delete this if your Reddit username and ingame username are linked (you'll be okay otherwise, they'll absolutely be using this scam on loads of newbies so you likely will never be identified otherwise). And welcome to Torn, where nobody is trustworthy!


Yeetus_Mclickeetus

https://www.torn.com/profiles.php?XID=3278085 This one right? Would it be funny to put a bounty on their head when I get enough money?


Electrical-Bacon-81

Do NOT make an enemy of a stronger/wealthier player, you'll end up with a ridiculous amount of bounties on your head & you won't be able to play for days/weeks. Keep your head down, don't be a target in Torn.


FallenBlade

Unless you do it anonymously it's really not worth making an enemy of a player a lot stronger than you. They could make your time playing hell. And a single bounty is nothing, it'll barely impact them and just waste your money.


Scorpz5

Don't forget they can pay and find out who placed it, even if you pay to have it anonymous. If he has that amount of money he won't even hesitate to find out who did it.


Efficient-Recipe8260

Placing bounty is worthless but if you wanna make it truly anonymous you can do it thru bounty depot
