If you lent him the gun, and ask for nothing in return and you didn't know him at all. Then sorry, but you desevre not to get that gun back.
We are a community, if you use your reasoning we are only eachother enemies and you shouldn't even drink the undoubtably poisoned drink you'll get in the next café or store (needle thru the cap or even a neurotoxin on the glass that will at the very least knock you out, it's all possible) just so they can get your wallet (by your account you should have them proove it's not poisoned first? a bit dramatic an example to show you the absurdity of your reasoning, be careful sure, trust your instincts sure, but to say he deserves not to get the item back is just way wrong and to never trust anyone is just nonsense you don't know what you're saying/doing).
Should he have been more careful? Sure. But for how long and how much? Eventually he'll still have a situation where he has to make that choice. Be it soc mate or not, be it long term online friend or not, ... people have been trust scammed after years of building 'earned' trust ... human interaction/society only works if you trust one another. Given the details of this interaction asking for collateral is the way to go, if he was gonna buy the gun, he should be able to buy it for 5 minutes agreeing to buy it back if he doesn't like the killspeed for ex. (with screenshots) ... but that's easy to say looking back, i'm human i make mistakes, kluck deserves his gun back and you deserve needing others help and them not trusting you till you get it. Same goes for this poor excuse for a human being:
Her comment was no BS ... She's right. What à stupid moove
This is not à scam. This is just stupidity abuse, legitimate IMHO
What, you never make mistakes? You never need anyone? Think again before you post/speak (is it true, useful, ...)? Turn the situation around see what you would want when you made that mistake?
Useful for future temporary trades (if you didn't already do so):
At the very minimum, if you are going to take such a risk you should type in trade chat message box “this is a 5 minute loan for my xxx, which you agree to return by trade free of charge, this is not a sale. Do you agree?” then take a screen shoot. This will not protect you, but will give you some basis of proving your case if it all went very bad.
Never trust strangers, rarely trust your online friends if you can't reach them IRL, always ask for a collateral even to protect yourself from non scamming higher power cases the other party may experience like death, hospitalization, computer or internet connection breaking down.
Rarely, that makes a big difference, not like i see klucks post 'i been scammed' each month
Wow... the gun i bought is stolen???!
It was 2 days ago. I was in twin and a guy which i don't remember his name came to me and tryed to sell to me for +2500ped. I asked for less price and he accepted. So we dealed. He looked to me like a noob. Because he had not completed gremlin set and had no soc. Kinda desperate to sell.
I didn't know at all this gun was stolen. Would gladly give this gun back for free if it just didn't cost that much as it does now :/
Im glad to help u out with u or MA if something is needed from me. But dunno how we should fix this problem. Really sorry.
Don't have .log? Don't take screenshots? Might wanna do that for future reference. Buying it to resell it immediately is helping scammers (for ex. in this case knowingly or not). Since you state: 'would gladly give it back for free', i think it's only fair for MindArk to do just that, run the trades back till kluck has his gun.
