Hello people!
This incident occurred about a week ago, but I did not post about it because I wanted to see how it played out. I was standing around in Twin Peaks after I had returned from a hunting trip.
An avatar which is unknown to me says hi and I say hi back. He proceeds asking me if I have the money I owe him, where upon I respond that I don't borrow money from people and that he has mistaken me for someone else.
He suggest that I may have been under the influence of alcoholic beverages when I borrowed the money, hence I don't recall the transaction. I explain to him that I have not had more than 6CL (2 Fl.Oz) of whiskey the past 9 years and that he is still mistaking me for someone else.
The avatar kindly informs me that he knows who I am and that I would have much to lose for being exposed as a "scammer", and that it would be easier to just pay him. I promptly decline his request, where upon he bargains with me for a lower amount. I promptly decline again. The gentleman informs me that I will now have it the way I have chosen.
Now, some time has passed and I have not heard from the gentleman, nor have I seen any public posts regarding my alleged debt towards him.
To clarify for everyone, in my 13 years of Project Entropia and Entropia Universe, I have never borrowed PED's from anyone in the game, except for some pocket change from my IRL brothers. On top of that I have many times been trusted with borrowing high end equipment worth hundreds of thousands of PED, without collateral, from well known players in the game. I have always returned the items.
So please be aware, this may very well be a new method of scamming, blackmailing veteran players. Stay alert and be selective about who you speak to in game.
