I hear people can reset their device id's? And you can hide your ip's.
These scammers also seem to delete and remake toons a lot, which is not a rename. It's a "new" name on a new account. To you, it might look the same but to the game program it's not "scammer". It's actually "scammer134812393048", etc.
Moreover, they like to try to imitate well-known people. So they create "famous1384132094812309" (exaggerated id for illustration purposes only) which looks a lot like "famous1384122094812309" (who is generally a well-known, trusted player or just a well-known player).
The scammer/s can probably make an infinite number of accounts. There are a few names they seem to re-use, but lots of them are throw-away names. They just make a new toon with new names which may or may not be similar to existing names.
Best a player can do really is be careful with any trading and giving.
Star light, star bright...
They wont because if you get scammed its your own fault. And then people that hate u in game can say u scammed then and u get banned-that kinda happend to me.
True fact: All girl gamers love with Farmlist.
Lots here talking about common sense and naivety, Its good these people did not experience the feeling of getting "tricked/scammed/etc", but understand if people shows you compassion in return esp if youre nice youll try to show compassion too via "item lending/gold/etc".
Most people who got scammed are either they are new too online gaming or they trust too much thinking everyone is nice. Like me. A lesson learned the hardway.
So be vigilant with your items. always.

Everyone just pay REAL close attention to what you are buying or selling.
Wait till someone started a new way to scam and little did you know,you got scammed in a way with the scammer's sweet words and friendliness
I always ignore and report people who try to scam, but they're all still there on my ignore list..
As i said year (s) age and most of replys was negative.
i do play a game on pc so long and there bans was simple.
1= raport with date timing + screenshots. its will ban.
2= raport with ss vid, its ban.
3= raport with ss about bully wery bad talks in towns is ban.
Scanmer will ban and scamm losed player will get back item. Timing details with devs following every item than bringing back.
Raporter earn a little cps (plat in AL)
first ban can be unlocked with a couple cps (plat) lets say 100 plat.
Baned ppl going jail. they can talk ppl but cant go out of jail.
Second ban 300 plat.
3rd ban = forever ban.
Forum had a secret topic. Only devs and raporter can see posts. if profs confusing devs, devs replying post and raporter explaining.
Also all devs checking and telling if its not a scamm not a bot not a ban reason.
if devs correct its BAN. they are banning player. Posting in forum so everyone can see
Player Name:
Raporter name:
Baned dev:
Reason and prof of baning:
Links to prof:
i know AL not a big company like that BUT
What i would like to in AL is
Remind in game every 30 min about dont trust + scamm tactics + take a look forum for it so many ppl scammed. in the options there can be a button for active or deactive that system mesages
Also Ban players and post theys NAME. Also if they open a new char with same ID do a symbol on character everyone can see he get ban at past. That ways scammers will put back step and i think there not much scammer gotta try scamm.
Give a small amount plat OR untradedable banner or tittle to raporters ( depend on scammer lvl)
from my wiev, players gotta warn with system mesages. if they are still scamming than there NO MERCY and NO SECOND CHANCE.
many ppl can complain about second chance. Just think about it how many clean player quited because of scammers? So there shouldnt a second chance of Scamm

It just annoys the hell out of me when scammers are laughing and enjoying themselves while the ones being scammed are worried about how to make a comeback, or just sad that they cant and they are quitting the game..
By this attitude imo sts is promoting the attitude of do not trus anyone and dont be generous and friendly.
sometimes i really feel that STS do not want to take any actions..and that its good for their buisness...people do become addicted to spending rl money and even though they are scammed, they still spend it. I bet alot of people think the same way and i beleive now is the time for STS to prove otherwise...
Why should they?
When their the real ones scamming us from our real money as you've seen a scammer doesn't ban another scammer.
The thing ur saying is just a joke between plat buyers..they arent scamming us..its the plat buyers choice if he wants to buy plat or.not...and we also know all about the luck factor when opening crates..so.dont blame STS on that..but STS needs to get rid.of these scammers who are ruining our gaming experiance
They can change, hide Ip but not the macadress at least not on mobile devices. That's why most serious gamestudio use the macadress ban method.
Ps: the macadress is the unique name of any device
In my opinion (in MY opinion), it is stupid to investigate if there is a proof. When I got scammed during S5, i told you, about the scammer..."Ban him and his devices or he will keep scam", you just ignored me. Grats! He scammed over 50 players, made most of them quit and he still plays! (I have proofs because I've talked with him and he told it to me by himself). Scammers never have enough. Until they can scam (so until they aren't banned), thy will keep scam.
STS should really rework their "ban system". At least, give a 7 days ban to a scammer if a proof is given+a warning message on his "Date ban will be lifted: X Hours/Days".
There are so many scammers who keep playing actually, why? Because you don't want to ban by error or the wrong person? Right. So, I agree with you, but do your job properly beause, when a much known player tells in his Line's guild chat that he got his account and devices banned and you give as reason that he scammed but he never scammed, you just ignore him and can't give a proof that he scammed. Rework this, give us a proof that players are banned because they scammed if they ask it!
Actually: Players are banned without any "consistent" reason and STS NEVER EVER gives proofs! Never! It is something you should really change.

It is disheartening to report and see no action. I also don't understand why they can't discuss their 'investigation'. The evidence is usually there (depending on the scam).
