What should i do?

[coolaronie]

ok, i was trading my credits to thise girl for her mansion pants. I set up the credits and she got the money. but she left, deleted me, and ignored. I do not want this to affect vmk and please vmk do not make it illegal to credit trade using quest machine because of this message. I just want tips on what should i do.

the username is <name removed>. (im not 100% but i know it starts with <removed> ) If you see her ask me and just be her friend so you can help me get to her. thanks

Sorry you lost your credits- but there is really not much you can do but learn from your mistake.

People take a risk making a trade this way as they do with trading room codes, trades that take more than one trade window and others...

What is usually done- is the quest is set up and opened then the trade is made and the person completes the quest and then goes.

But there are scammers out there who will try to cheat you when they can and unfortunately you got cheated by a dishonest person but because you used a quest machine in a manner you were not meant to use it VMK will do nothing about it.

If you must do these trades- do so only with those who you know well and/or involve a trusted community leader or mutual friend to help facilitate the trade- they can take the item from the person in trade- while the person completes the quest for credits and then trade the item to you...

But there is even risk involved in that.

It is best to do trades for items only and if possible trades of 15 items or less- I do wish that VMK will eventually expand the amount of items to be traded at once but until then- keep your trades to under 15 items unless you trust the individual...

VirtuallyMe has given great advice.

Any trade can be risky, but some more so than others. Trading credits is a HUGE risk, especially when doing so with someone you do not know very well. Please use extreme caution if you choose to participate in this type of trade.
