Moriko Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Of course it's my own fault to trust someone like in this case, just to make that clear in first place - no need to tell me I did take the risk, fully aware of it. This is not about my little loss, this is about a scammer, taking advantage of people willing to trust someone without a good reason... This seems to me quite similar to the thread tehfreshhkid is scammer, and both chars started and stopped their postings on channel 3 about the same time. I talked to tehfreshhkid as well, posted in that thread, and I guess it's one and the same person.

PaulB Report post Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) We are not the same person Do you realize it's breaking a rule using channel 3 to scam? http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=28127 Another person breaking this rule. I think the person who was hit with this scam should now post in abuse section as you're in clear violation of game rules now.

KostOnee Report post Posted October 31, 2010 No, I didn't but i'll make sure it never happens again, (scamming with use of @@3 that is) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moriko Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Thank you PaulB, for looking into this. I wasn't aware that there was a violation of the rules, since I'm no newbie in the meaning of the don't-scam-newbies-rule and took the risk of being scammed. Just forgot about this thread. Should have known and informed a mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexi Report post Posted October 31, 2010 [22:58:01] [PM from KostOnee: i usually only make 10k batches for people and like an hour or so] Is this honestly possible? Anyway... I have seen too many scams in the last few years... never pay first unless it's a friend, and even then...it's risky if it's massive amounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aislinn Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Advertising in @3 a service that is real, such as mixing essences, is allowed. The rule is about advertising non-existent services is for things such as "I'll bless your cape, pm me" or the like. This is where you use your good common sense if you have any, and don't just hand over your hard earned gc or items until you will be getting something in return that you can check as acceptable. There is a fine line between scam and stupidity|foolishness. If people were not greedy, and used common sense, there would be almost no scams. Are you telling me that nobody then can post a real service in @3 in case it turns out to be a scam? Unless you want all services disallowed in @3, there is no way to control who tries to scam after. That is on your head who you trust and make a deal with, and how you conduct that transaction. EL is not responsible for you making a bad deal or not checking if it's a diamond or rosto you are buying. We are not the same person You have yet to offer me proof of this. I better see no interaction AT ALL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
