Hello everyone,
We have noticed a growing trend of people posting on the forums regarding scams. Let’s take a moment to discuss a few reasons of why we do not allow these types of threads on the forums.

First of all, support should be the one to make the determination about scams/scammers. Here are a few examples of what we want to prevent from happening:

Example 1:
How would you feel if someone took their personal vendetta out on you and called you out as a scammer when you were truly innocent and posted the following thread:

“(Your Name) is a scammer please report them….”

Of course we will remove the thread, but we can’t fix what damage has been done to your reputation when you were truly innocent.

Example 2:
Someone posts a thread calling out someone with a name close to yours and people assume it is you in game. Even if the name is abbreviated you have now included many other people as a possible scammer and ruined their reputation.

Example 3:
Posting a thread explaining how you were scammed without naming the player.
While it can be very informative to the right players it can also give the wrong players new ideas for scams.

We like to keep our forums as drama free as possible. By not allowing these type of threads we are preventing people from defending or attacking another player which in turn escalates into an argument.

We understand that you are all passionate about our games and it upsets you when you feel you have been scammed. However, posting a thread on the forums does not stop the scammer and only creates drama. The best way to handle this type of situation is to contact us at support.

Please provide as much detail as possible to support including any screenshots you may have. Support is the only way to investigate the scam.

We appreciate your passion and love for Spacetime games. Thank you for reading and your participation in making this community great. You guys rock!

*Please note, we will be unable to discuss the outcome of the case due to the private and confidential nature of our players accounts.

most people know that its not allowed to be discussed on forums, but the new comers to the forums community aren't familiar withe the rules (mainly cause they skip them), but are reminded by us, but hey, we all we new players at one point so no harm no foul.

Most popular scamming is placing a item in auction which in auction doesnt exist and give it price very high. Than use another character to say "selling (item here) for (price), LIMITED EDITION" for example. My friend told me that. Im not scammer.

You can't get scammed. If you pay attention when trading.. There is 2 confirm boxes . You made the choice to rush to trade so it your own fault for not being attentive while trading.

WHY PEOPLE GET SCAMMED-.


1ST) MOST PEOPLE WANT TO TRADE THERE ITEMS WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN EXCHANGE OF GOLD AND ITEMS..

2ND) AUCTION SHOP PRICE- IF U PUT ITEM IN AUCTION SHOP,U HAVE TO PAY SOME AMOUNT ..AND THOSE PAYMENT AMOUNT IS DAMM HIGH

3RD) NOW A DAYS PEOPLE SOLD THERE PROFILE TO ANOTHER IN EXCHANGE OF GOLD AND RESULT THEY GOT SCAMMED

Old tricks of scammer :

1. First he/she sell things with much lower price than auction.. Example : blinky with the rate 180-200k, he/she sells for only 100k, anyone who interested try to get that blinky, but he/she tries to scam by changing blinky to blight..

2. Other sample : beware of the same things with different class.. Same trick but he/she offers steel com helmet warrior cost 700k, he/she will cancel the trade, and blame us, why we cancel it (the trick so we want to trade again) when the new room trade has been made he/she change the thing..steel com helmet warrior has been changed into sorcerrer class.. If u r not carefull u will not notice because the same name and the new room of trade (its trick for him to change the things)

So guys.. Beware and check again and again before you confirm with any trade..

Scamming ... When you least expect it advice not to gift anything to anyone regarding if there your online best friend or even girlfriend /boy friend most scams happen when the scammer is simply acting into gaining your trust although you may think it's impossible to be scammed , can happen to anyone this way
