    Default Scammed once again

    Yesterday I was doing in the middle of a trade when suddenly my trader left with a 500k profit.
    This happend because we had a trade for 11.5m for my blackened dragon armor.
    So our idea was me selling him an item first for 2m and after that he would give that item and the other 9.5m for my blackened armor.
    But the item was a swift armor which is worth over 2.5m. So guess what happend, after we traded 2m for the swift armor he stopped awnsering me and logged out. I waited for about 2 hours after that and still he didnt came back.

    This isn't the first time I got scammed but Knowing sts never does anything about this maybe you guys got some tips for me.

    Here's my tip for you, if it doesn't fit in the trade window don't bother trying to work it out.

    Ape you once told me youd give me 500k for a name. While I realize name selling is not very popular, it was an agreed deal that we had. Once I got the name, you called me a scammer and tol me you wanted nothing to do with buying the name. Trouble is, once you get a name you cant get the time you spent getting the name back. You'll get no sympathy from me, hypocrite. (Incase you forgot, the name was Ben and I still have it)

    First it wasn't 500k, it was a l.15 launcher and 2nd you misused sts support since they set up a rule that you can only request one name.
    But of you really want your money just come and get it.

    They set up the one name rule later, so he didn't really misuse it. Most people recieved more than 1 name. I got 2, and I know multiple people with upwards of 5.

    Just sayin'

    This deal of us was done when this rule was standing, so he did misuse it like many others did.

    Question. If you were dealing with gold above max cash, why would you trade in Blacksmoke? There is no stash access there so you wouldn't have a place for the 2m to accept the trade for the 9.5m...

    Ya, it does look kind of sketchy. Especially since you screenshot you both agreeing on a price at that moment. Seems like if you were scammed, you'd go back in the chatlogs to screenshot it. You wouldn't screenshot at the moment of agreeing. I can't say I've ever done that.

    So, you had to have at least had a hunch something was going on.

    You do realize you could have made him bought the swift armor for 2.5m, and then make him pay you 9m gold...?

    Good to know everyone sides with the scammers now, maby I should start dealing this way.
    Also as a vid maker I record most of the times when I play. And taking 1 frame out of a vid isn't that complicated even though I can imagine you guys not knowing this.

    Ape, we aren't siding with the scammer. If it was a friend who scams you, I get it and would have sympathy. Well, I still have sympathy for this case, but it could have been easily avoiding by doing what I told you in the post two posts above this one.

    He was a random dude, not even a friend. There was no reason to trust him at all.


    That being said, I appreciate you calling his name out so others will be aware of this dude and to avoid him. I never once stated I didn't have sympathy. I just stated how easily this situation could have been avoided since you did ask for tips. Am I correct?
