Title: scammer found
Post by: Glyph on July 18, 2011, 08:41:29 am
yesterday some guy(UltimateWar) wanted to make a market deal with me, and it was a deal where i asked for an item and money for my item in return, but he insinted that it should be done in 2 deals(while it can be done in 1). one where i gave him my +2 item for his +1, and one where he should give me 100k for a straw hat. and he also insisted that we made the item-item deal first.
so i found a scammer, luckely i'm not the most stupid guy on the planet so i didn't make the deal.

when i tried to PM me, he din't respond anymore after i said he is a scammer.

UltimateWar is a scammer!!! don't do any market deals with him!

that's what i meant. :mrgreen:

but there should be a list of scammers, cheaters, etc. just so we can recognise them and tell it to an admin or something.

You can start a thread with a list of scammers?

Not sure why your on Berethorn's balls so much. He's clearly just telling the community to be wary of this guy.

Berethorn can you maybe include screen shots of the chat you had with this guy via PM's?

Isn't posting private messages illegal on forums? Even if it's to prove a point?

I'd suggest sending them to the devs too.

I am going to assume no considering how many "private" PMs and IRC conversations that this forum has seen posted publicly on the forums whenever a feud starts...


Regardless, it is in bad taste to post such things in most situations.

On most forums I've been on it was against the rules to do so. That's why I'm asking, you'd get a ban there for it.

Same with all the forums I am part of, but c-RPG seems to be more... loose? I dunno... something to ask on IRC I suppose.

i'll drop the screenshots, just in case it's "illegal" to post them. but if a moderator asks for it or chadz himself, i'd be glad to give them to him.

Afaik it's only illegal unless you're 1 of the 2 parties involved in the messages. If that's the case then you can republish to your hearts content. I've never seen any specific rule on this forum.

Buyer beware.

Seriously, make sure you use your mind before agreeing to a deal that could potentially harm you. You'll need that skill in real life.

Why would any forum make it illegal to post messages that people send you? That only has the benefit of protecting people with things to hide.
