Hey guys. Something has been bothering me for a long time now but I think that the issue has really grown on me. I don't know if you know about a player called Oddform / Iyandere / Festivecarol, but I'm here to tell you to keep a close eye on him.
There's a reason to believe that he is a scamster, and not only me, but also a few other people have been scammed by this individual.
I don't know the method which he used to scam the others but let me tell you how my story goes.
It was about a week or more than a week ago actually when I met him and had a relatively long discussion with him. After seeing that I had a couple of 'old' vanities on, he started talking about how he was an oldie himself and about his unfortunate experience of getting his account banned. (You can already see where this is going). After our discussion he brought up the topic of buying my account. I declined naturally... but he was persistent.
The next day, as soon as he logged on, he told me that he got scammed 15M gold after trying to buy an Angelic account (there's your first sign). I don't usually support account buyers but since he was supposedly my friend, I helped him out by giving him a 500K head start. I taught him how to Merch and helped him sell whatever he had left. It was agreed that I would get my 500K back when he had enough money to sustain himself. I told him that 5M was his target. In barely any time he'd got about 7M totally in the form of cash and sets. I knew that getting money would be fast but I was surprised myself at the speed at which he came from around 1M to 7M.
So anyway, he logged off soon enough and the next time I saw him I asked for my 500K back, and I got the most shocking answer that I could have got. He got scammed ANOTHER 5M for trying to buy another Angelic account (this was only like 3 days after he initially got scammed), and he was unable to return my money (There's your second sign; something fishy going on here?). I didn't want to jump to conclusions and at the time I let him have a few more days to recover. Although when I asked him what sets he had left, he showed me 2 Fiery sets, a Crusher Set and a few random items which were parts of sets. So if he did in fact get scammed 5M he would've had 5M + another 4M before he got scammed. He came from 7M to 9M in a matter of a couple of hours, which is unnaturally fast.
Then it had been a few days and I hadn't seen him and I was getting worried. After 4 days or so since the last meeting, I had seen him again, and I asked whether he had got the money which I severely needed at that point of time. At the time, he was wearing a Demonic X-Bow Set and upon asking him, he was fast to decline that he had any money. I advised him to sell the Demonic set and give the gold back but he refused. I kept getting back to him each day and each day he denied that he had any cash left, with some lame excuse or the other. He was also slowly ignoring me. Sometimes I would leave up to 10 messages and after a long time he would say something like 'Hi' as if he didn't the messages even though he was constantly spamming messages in public.
Then one fine day when I asked him about the money, well guess what, "I got scammed again while trying to buy an Angel account for 4.3M" (There's your third and most definite sign). He still had his Demonic X-Bow Set which made me wonder how he made 4.3M in 3 days. I mean seriously, who gets scammed thrice in a row! I asked him to sell the Demonic set but he refused. I even asked him to give me some items he had instead of the 500K which he rejected, or in fact ignored.
I'm still yet to receive my 500K. If [Oddform] is seeing this, I recommend that he stops playing around and returns the money. I will update this thread if he returns the money.
You may ask why I'm making such a fuss about 500K. Well, it's not about the money in this case. It's about the fact that he cannot be trusted and he has scammed several other people.
So what do you do if you see Oddform / Iyandere / Festivecarol? Don't say anything to him. Don't help him. Don't negotiate with him. Don't buy his items. Don't sell your items to him. Don't let him make a profit out of you.
