Players Beware

[GrmGrnningGhost]

I know everyone tells you to becareful for scammers in VMK but I would like to again remind people to be careful out there. I was scammed out of an entire stitch offer for a hat I thought I would get but lost all the items. I will not say the users name publicly, but if you are trading for a stitch hat and would like to know the players title so you can look out for them, please pm me. I fully understand that it is all just virtual stuff, but it does hurt to know that you trusted a complete stranger and the go and stab your back. Trust me, the feeling is terrible.

 

[.:PDAZ:.]

I'm sorry that happened to you.. Good luck on getting your stuff back.

Sorry to hear this.


This is why I don't like the fact that some things are so "valuable" and require more than 1 trade window. Which is why I won't trade more than 15 items for 1 unless I completely trust the person.
My own rule is what keeps me from getting the items in my signature.

I hope that you can get your stuff back soon.

Sorry to hear about the scam I hope you can get things taken care of. Good luck!

 

[Dizpinfriend]

Awww Grim,

I am still so upset for you buddy...

And yes, you are right, it is just virtual stuff, but this is stuff that took lots of work to obtain - and to have some cold hearted person scam you like that is just not fun...

Keep the chin up, and keep the faith that your reports will not go unheard!!!

 

[Iris]

OMG Ghost, no way!

Why oh why must there be people like this in this world?


I am so sorry to hear that you lost all of your stuff, that is so not right. You have been working on getting that hat for such a long time, I can't believe it.

 

[GrmGrnningGhost]

Thank you all for showing concern. All who had sent me a message I have sent a reply with all the info, and please people LOOK OUT!!!

Again if your are trading a big offer for stitch please pm so I can give you her name. I dont want you to get scammed. The feeling is awful

 

[Disney Dreams]

I am sorry this happened to you. Can you please give the detials of HOW you were scammed so that others know the way in which this was done. This can be done without mentioning names, just focusing on the actions that took place.

Thanks.

Aww sorry to hear that dude. I do hope your reporting helps track down that scammer. I would hate to think that she could get away with it.

Good luck Josh, let me know if you need anything.

Hey Dreams -

I was there in the room with him and actually speaking to him in person while this was all going on. Basically she came into his room and said she liked his offer. He told her that she could have any 15 items of her choice from the offer in the first window but the Stitch hat had to be given in the first window as well. Yada yada yada, she cried how she had been scammed in the past - I offered to assist with the trade as I am a day 1 player with alot to lose should I get banned for a scam, but she still would not have it. She agreed to trade the stitch hat in the last window, and Grim had a good feeling about it so he went ahead with the trade - in the last window (#4) he asked her to put up the Stitch hat, and that is when she ran.

She then was found in a room titled "My New Stuff" and conveniently laid out all the stuff she just took from him - which made it easy for us to make an exact list of what had been taken.

Grim has sent in a report through contact us, as well as emailed VMK, and has even placed a phone call to VMK General Operations with all information such as date, time, room title, players names, and a list of items stolen. In all this, Grim is not looking to have his items returned to him (although that would be nice) but he just wants to know that this player will see some sort of punishment as a result. Lets hope they will take the time to review the chat and trade logs.

This player needs to receive an IP ban for this behavior - we have been going from trade room to trade room with Stitch offers to warn people of this girl - and in our travels have found at least two others who have been victim to her.

The trade system is seriously flawed in this game. All these highly desired items cannot be traded for in 1 trade window a fair amount of time, and unless some sort of changes are made in this area - these scams will continue as long as these players are out there.

So sorry to hear about this Grim.
Just to let you know I was scammed out of my offer for stitch hat on Christmas day and it took about a week before I got my items back, so don't give up hope.

It's good to know that VMK actually was able to replace your items for you - glad to hear it, but sorry you had to go through that at all...

I would be curious to know the player who scammed you. Would you be kind enough to pm me the players name?

 

[DudeZeke#2]

sorry to hear this grim, if there's anything i can do, just look me up in vmk.

 

[PrinceLegolas]

It's hard to believe someone could do that!! I feel for ya!!

 

[LadyDooley]

I would like the Name of this player as well,

Sending you a pm

 

[LadyDooley]

Thank you for that!
I will watch out for her!!

 

[disvaclub92]

Oh I just read this and I am so mad. Please send me a pm with that persons title. I know of alot of friends who are looking for Stitch - I want to give them a heads up.

And I agree with Dizpinfriend - an IP ban is a must for this person. I wonder how someone can live with themselves after doing that. I know it is virtual items - but stealing is stealing.
