The vast majority of these Games of Trust are made by newbies who want to make a quick buck off of the stupidity of another newbie. I also discourage older members to make these, whether they want to prove trust or not, as it makes themselves actually seem more untrustworthy.

In general, if someone is offering you something but wants you to send them something first, >90% of the time it is a scam. This is an extremely old scamming tactic.
