This should go without saying but i'll say it anyway, DO NOT go to this site, it is a worse scam than trying to steal your account. They've grown the balls to actually try to steal people's money directly. Screenshot and report on sight.

To those of you who want to tell me "shame shame on calling someone out", this is a bot so i have no qualms about putting him on blast.

Kthxbai.

Man I hate people like that when I was younger I feel for one of these scams (lawl give me a break I was new to this whole massive multiplayer experience and very greedy) they took my account and most of my stuff (for an different not going to be named "game") I fought back ,changed the password from my email sent messages from my other accounts telling them to get out and I even looked through my trade history (yup different game) found who took my stuff and reported them and got most of my money back yay! Long story short think twice before you, if it seems too good to be true it probably isn't. Well that's it for story time with Enix lol.

This all just saddening to me that people have to cheat REAL LIFE humans/kids/adults out of money!!
Never fall for stuff like this it's just dumb.

Thanks lowly for pointing this out to the rest of the STS community. I saw this ig and was like "WTH!!!!!!!!"

This may not be a bot, but a player spamming his fast chat sentences? :O..

And yeah, this kind of website stealing accounts has grown up badly from last year..

Lowly, did you send a ticket to support? o:?

Cya soon ^^

Amen lowly... I have seen this bot as well and the site is phishing scam to obtain your personal information. Please email this directly to STS support with the screenies.

It's cool, I just made several amateurish attempts to hack a homeland security website using their info under the name "Terry Rist"
Shouldn't be up for long

I'd say it's probably legit. It's a pretty common thing in other MMOs, so he could be just trying to migrate it over here. Hell, the site even says they're out of gold and they can't provide the service for a week.

Uh, no.

Uh, no.

Why not? You can't say it isn't considering you haven't heard anyone who has actually tried it, nor tried it yourself. Don't be so close-minded. Not everyone's looking to scam.

No, on the count that there's nothing legit about it in this game, is what I mean.

Regardless of whether you think it's legit or not, you of all people should know buying ingame currency with real money (other than buying platinum) is against the tos.

It's not really a matter of being scammed its more of an issue with being banned, I personally think this should have stayed off of chrome, it should stay in our pocket. I don't believe ppl can "bot" if it stays as phone or tablet only.

His method seems smart, but it's not very smart. Putting a low value item for that much gold labels you as a "Gold Buyer" to all of PL.

As mentioned above, I dont think this has been proven to be a scam. Has anyone actually been "scammed" by it or shown it to be not the service they purport to be?

Aside from that, I am sure this is against the rules and fair play, but who knows if they have an army of kids playing the game overseas and farming gold for sale. I thought other MMRPGs have those occur too.

We ban folks who both buy and sell gold... just say no!
