Scamming in General
If you have one of these in your inventory and you are a heartless person, you can do one of two things with it. Use it for yourself on stuff that may or may not be yours, or you could use it to trick others. Even high level players are vunerable to this trap, because level doesn't nessessarily mean brain power. Firstly, for a scenario, Lvl 18 Warriorcool asks on call 'Who would like stone removal/bonus adding? Come to storekeeper CH1'.
Storekeeper CH1 Map1 is a popular place for high levels to hang out, especially in Jinno. This is the perfect place for the criminal to carry out his scam. And being so close to Item shop storage, he can make it seem like he is going to get the stone removal scroll/bonus adder, but in fact doesn't have one at all. Secondly, his victim, Lvl 49 Blastile, wants stones removed/bonus added from his Bloody Sword +7. Being an item in high demand and value, this is like a gold mine for Warriorcool. Stone removal scrolls and Bonus adders are untradeable, so to use one on someone else's items means they have to trust you with their item and trade it over to you. Blastile, being kind, trusts Warriorcool and clicks accept trade button on the trade window, which has his +7 Bloody sword in. As soon as that weapon and money touches Warriorcool's inventory, BAM! He logs out. And the evil scam is complete. It is taking advantage of the 'untradeable' problem and abusing people's trust.
Take note: If you click that button, you are responsible for what happens to your items. It's like an instant void on a scratchcard. Only trust your family, closest friends, or Blastile. Everyone else if after your items.
