another Scammer! warning for you and story

[mtlhddoc2]

I would certainly trust CL_PirateSteff more than any other player to help me along with my trades. It varies on a case-by-case basis.

Exactly my point.

Always use a Leader for big (or small) trades! I would recommend CL_PirateSteff.

Of course you would. OT, but why did you delete me off your friends list?

not saying u are a scammer! was saying usually... which it is true in a big trade like that... and my friend couldn't do anything about the ban because i broke the rules in someones books so i served my time. which i am glad i did instead of get hooked up by a friend. he could have easily lost his job by that. also someone got scammed after by her.. also dropping the subject about u being a scammer.. i just said usually in big trades like that when ppl do tht and the other results it usually is a scam which it was.. no i was not scammed because i thought before... but a while back i probably would have fallen for it... and why do u have such a problem about me warning ppl about this scammer?

I know that a lot of people scam, and I realized that if they won't let you have a leader, then you have about a 99% chance of being scammed.

Well i hope your 100% sure she's a scammer, oh and btw I WILL NOT use a cl for big trades anymore, so I guess I am that 1% that isn't a scammer. In case any were wondering a person on another board and I set up a big trade once and used a cl and the cl ran away with all of our items! I did get it back though

"and why do u have such a problem about me warning ppl about this scammer?"

Because you might be wrong, and because you actually did this a couple weeks ago and guess what? The Person WASNT A SCAMMER!!!

We don't know for a fact that this person was a scammer because the scam did not actually carry out. But there is a good reason to suspect that the person was indeed a scammer. First of all, the situation is a very common one with scammers. And the fact the person fled right away after being called out on it? Why would she need to disappear if she felt she was doing something ok? Now people can dissect that all they want, but most people wouldn't disappear, they probably would just end the trade annoyed that someone accused them of something. Although this person must be new to scamming to only put up NPC pins and think she'd get rare for it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with contacting VMK about it...in fact I would encourage ANY player to contact VMK if they strongly suspect someone is a scammer. I would be careful of the wording and not imply that you were scammed if you actually weren't. But providing VMK with a report and telling them the situation along with letting them know that the tactics are very common for scammers will give them a heads up on that player. And perhaps they can look into "back logs" or whatever to see that player's history or maybe keep tabs on that player in the future (especially if future reports come in). I've done that with players who've attempted to scam me.
