On the RA, someone had a very simple idea to help prevent the scamming going on. (By sending out objects that ask for your money.)
The going concern is that no one reads the blue dropdowns. Either from familiarity, or from being annoyed with all of them *raises hand in the 'guilty' mode*
So to that, I'm posting the idea and giving due credit to the one who thought of it.

Some may say that we don't need to define the system anymore. That if people don't read the warnings, it's their own fault. However, with all within LSL that use drop down blue boxes, isn't a bit different color and style when dealing with money a little intelligent. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I'm for it.. anyone who keeps falling for it after that is either inexperienced, lacking attention span, or not the sharpest knife in the drawer

It is extremely poor design on LL's behalf, to make dangerous options as innocent looking as honest ones, it just begs for trouble. I'm not sure bright red with warning klaxons or whatever is quite necessary, but anything to differentiate. Same would go for all permissions, as while none are as truly harmful as debit permission, they can be annoying.
Same with Keep/Discard and group notices. The fact that all dialogue boxes are the same is horrendous, really we need less obtrusive ones for most things. For example, instead of Keep/Discard we'd have a "Received items" tab in Inventory which lists all items by the date you received them for the last 24 hours or since the last time you logged in (whichever is longer). That way all we need is a message/icon/whatever indicating we have new items in inventory to look over, and decide if we want to keep them or not.
Same with group announcements/proposals, and indicator for when new ones are around, rather than big all over the place monstrosities.
That way all you really have left are script dialogues, and permissions, which can be made different looking, or appear in different places or something.
