'Evening.
I have just had my first experience in 5 months of playing with being scammed. Luckily I only lost 2 low tt A103's
The scammers operate in a pair. Their names are (spelling may be incorrect) *Something* (ie It was a long word i dont remember) Auctuma *Something* and Kurt Cobein Nirvana. The scam works like this:
Firstly, one will approach you (in this case Nirvana) and want to buy your gear. He places his PED's in the trade window, then cancels the deal and runs off.
A few mins later the other comes (in this case the fake Auctuma) and offers to buy your gear. You place your gear in the trade window, he places his PEDS in his window, both confirm the deal, but guess what? You are left with no gear and no PEDS.
I am not sure how they did this. I am sorry, but I got no screenshot at the time of the scam, which was around 1815 MA time today 19 April at Port Atlantis.
I am not too concerned, as the kit stolen was worth bugger all. However, what does concern me is that someone will (if they havent been already) be scammed out of an item far more valuable.
I wonder if my information corresponds with other information that you already have regarding these two avatars?
Pls contact me if you think there is anything I can do, and PLEASE find them and ban their asses
Many thanks
