I'm trying to sell my mini Shiro and I keep getting these people trying to scam me. Its not much of a scam I have to say. Not even a monkey would fall for that. Its a lame scam that is wasting my time when trying to sell stuff. I decided to make a thread after the 10th person just tried it on me.

Anyone else getting the idiots wasting their time?

This is really old...Its most popular in ToA with Ectos.

See the 504656773523423 people spamming "WTB ECTO 7k" - Some of them spam that all day and just put up 7gp and hope for the best. The next day the same people spam "WTS ECTO 7k" and sell off all the ectos they scammed the day before.

Yeah always see things like tht happen, and to make it worse they start complaining after wards and insisting you are the 'noob'

Take a screenshot and report them, and yes there are plenty of idiots like that.

Remember when Reporting YOu'll need:
1) Screenshots
2) The District/Town it happened in
3) The TIME it happened
4) The person's name
5) The person's Momma's Maiden Name
6) What school the person goes too
7) Etc...etc..You get the point.

The last few are jokes of course...but you can't just give them a screenshot and the guys name. They'll reply back to you and ask for Every Detail of the situation (District, Time, Names, and "any other relevent info") and if you don't reply in a certain number of hours your ticket is considered resolved and they forget about it.

It's stupid to try something like that, and morally wrong, but if you accept "100g" it's your own fault.

You forgot that they also need your social security number, your shoe size, what toothpaste you use, what car you drive, and blah blah roflcopter.com

Um dude we now have "modified trade" or whatever when people try to modify offer and try to scam. Every game has scammers.

**Marty Silverblade** · Aug 01, 2006, 06:15 AM // 06:15

I hate this especially when it's a stupid attempt such as when you say something like - (Insert new green here) only 300k!! Ectos and shards + money. You then get noobs trying to give you 300g, when 300k isn't even possible.

Just ignore thise stupid noobs and let them enjoy their noobness.

How many of those scammers who try to sell their ectos that they bought for 7g, for 7k, get scammed themselves, and end up selling it for 7g, do you think?

RuPee · Aug 01, 2006, 08:20 AM // 08:20

those guys are just a waste of time. im trying to sell something going around different districts trying to sell my stuff and some guy starts talking about the price and when we finally come to an agreement to what i thought was a serious buyer and then i find out he just wasted about 5 minutes of my time when he puts in "g" instead of "k." its really frustrating dealing with these guys.

tomanders91 · Aug 01, 2006, 08:49 AM // 08:49

i was trying to sell a green shield for 40k, someone kept coming to me offereing 40g, complete waste of time in my opinion.

Items shouldn't be sold for gold only. When a weapon cost less than 1K, it should be salvaged, or given away to some newbie.
Take away the gold input, and Anet solves a whole lot scam opportunities.

I got that many, many times when I tried to sell my minipets.

The problem is a scamming attempt. These annoying idiots waste people's time even attempts fails. There is so many with different names, it is impossible to know who is trying to scam. Ignore list holds only 10 players.

Jeremy Untouchable · Aug 01, 2006, 10:35 AM // 10:35

Its the scammers fault because they tried to fool the seller, duh. Unless the seller is a 100% perfect and alert person you can't say its their own fault. The seller might be considered careless but that's as far as it goes.

The seller is acting in good faith. The scammer is acting in bad faith. That's all one needs to know to determine who's at fault.
