yet another armour scam

[dolera]

But a creative one!
He for one didn't want an armour set to upgrade - didn't wear armour at that moment though, he simply needed ingredients to craft. Weird items though, 1000 iron ingots and 5 neopsion mind implants

(note that he confirmed the deal, even though there was no iron in the trade window!)

that's about 600 ped, so that might be a fair price for full ghost actually. So, is he a scammer after all? I think so, for a crafter he has very little skills:


Later that night he approached me again, this time i was in full shogun.

To my surprise his offer didnt change. Apparently he's not interested in full shogun

And for your entertainment (it certainly entertained me) also the chat log:

Hey, somethink new, not only money to upgrade armor.

So scammers try some new tricks, beware.

Now it's very good check with scanner those scammers skills. Low skill crafters try to made armor's, that sucks.

This Security/Scamming section is very usefull place to give information.

Please give scammer name on title, it's give great information to people who read this and remember names.

 

[FlameDancer]

Please give scammer name on title, it's give great information to people who read this and remember names.

Do not put the scammer's name in the title, as requested in one of the stickies for the security/scamming forum:

This Security/Scamming subforum is for discussion about how you can protect your computer and yourself ingame, it is not meant as a hall of shame, please leave out any scammer names from the thread titles, you can mention them inside the threads for discussion.

 

[kira-red]

people might want to know that many of these confidence schemers are now using scanners to help them find victims. they will avoid any who's statistics are too high, as they would likely know what's going on. they're looking for people with low statistics who appear to have cash.
