If two players agree that an item has a monetary value (e.g. the sale of a gun) and the item is taken without completing the transaction, this is classed as scamming.
If a player asks to "test" a gun during a sale and then runs off with it, this is also classed as scamming.
However, if a player lends a gun for a KOS/Event and the other player doesn’t return it, THIS IS NOT SCAMMING. As no monetary value was discussed, even if you have evidential proof in writing between both parties that it is being loaned. As soon as monetary value is involved, it becomes scamming.
