There are people out there always looking to scam you. Theres the ecto scammers who say "WTB ALL YOUR ECTO 6K AT STORAGE!!'. When you go to open trade they show 6g instead of 6k. The people who "sell" great weapons for low prices. For example they will walk up to you and show you a fellblade req9 15over 50 and say 30k you put up the 30k then cancel trade you try it one more time they do it again you try one more last time they put up a fellblade but instead itsreq 11 15% in stance or something of that sort. You always have the people looking for noobs to buy something way below price and then sell it for more. There are many other types of scams including the one that happened to you.I still dont understand buying a customized weapon. If anet was gonna let you recustomize weapons they wouldve added that in the release of the game.Also before you exit the game when a update occurs go to the guildwars official website and check the updates out yourself before taking any one elses word for it.

I like it when ppl try to scam me. I'm so paranoid I won't even TOUCH my mouse until I see the $. No sir. I literally put my hands on my knees waiting to see what the trade window shows. Can't remember the last time I screwed it up that way.

If this had happened to me, and the scammer refused to give my money back, he'd stay on my friends list forever. I'd give his name to my guildies and other friends and he'd rue the day he scammed me. He can't stay "offline" or on "do not disturb" forever. Eventually he'd give in and pay you back. Unless he changed accounts.

Luckily I read the "scams" area of the forum and on guildwiki. So I don't think this will ever happen to me.

I know exactly what u mean. Yes, the name stays on the weapon but trying to pester him wont help. The scammer will just "ignore" you. I have spread his name around my guildies and friends, Im hoping it takes off from there. To be honest though, hes probably changed accounts by now.
