Devnul Report post Posted April 19, 2011 Umm... wasn't there anything about {:content:}lt;--->gc trades in posting rules? Van, Radu himself warned us yesterday, plus gave a solution (want to pay with gc, ask Radu to point trusted person). So all legal I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hussam Report post Posted April 19, 2011 I would have seen it coming when he asked for the gcs in advance. Even if you change your mind after he buys the stone, he can always sell it somewhere else. Sorry that you got scammed though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexi Report post Posted April 19, 2011 This guy has already been on the outlaws, so I wouldn't have trusted him anyway, it really sucks people have to do this >.> lot of gc to lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olorandir Report post Posted April 19, 2011 Sorry to hear that you got scammed for what is a fairly large amount of gc, Kabat, that must be very frustrating indeed. However... I know that some people are naturally trusting, or very young, and more easily duped by one or other of the scumbags that litter EL, but it never ceases to amaze me that people will actually hand over hard-earned (or not ) gc to someone they do not know, and are not sure they can trust, simply because that someone told them they would do something in return. Don't dish out that kind of money until the stone is there in the trading window! It would be interesting to know who it was that told you that you could do a deal with RansoM. If you'd asked around a bit before giving him the gc, you may have found that quite a few people knew him to be the piece of s*it he obviously is. I sympathize with your plight, I really do, but hopefully this will be a valuable lesson for you, and in future you will be a lot more cautious regarding who you have dealings with in the game. In any case, good luck to you, and I hope you make the gc back soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorck Report post Posted April 19, 2011 Before trusting people, you should do a search in the dispute sections of the forum, specially with gc in advance. Ransom was a known outlaw already. Funny that he says i am outlaw when i did nothing. Anyway, i hope that you learnt your valuable lesson and that other people don't do this mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miiks Report post Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Before trusting people, you should do a search in the dispute sections of the forum, specially with gc in advance. Ransom was a known outlaw already. Afaik there was only a post about overkill, ransom's ex-char. Hard to know he's the same guy even if you read disputes first. But yeah I agree, it would be smart to ask around if the person is trustworthy. And not give the gc before you actually get the item you needed.

Kabat Report post Posted April 19, 2011 Yes, there is a lot of my fault in this too. I was naive and I trusted him. I did some trades like that in the past, and everything was ok. So I hoped this time would be the same. That is a lesson for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
