I've been wondering what action(s) you can take to seek justice if you have been scammed. Reporting the incident to MA and having the scammers account locked is just not good enough sometimes.
What about taking the incident further to real life police and having the scammer prosecuted and locked up? has this ever been done in the past?
Would MA help in this process?
If this has not been done I think we as a community seriously need to think about that and pursue scammers to the fullest so that justice is achieved. Locking an account is just not good enough because the scammer just makes a new avatar and continues on their scamming rampage.
We will always have scammers in EU because real money is involved. In real life if someone attempts to steal something from you or indeed does steal from you can pursue the case in a court of law and seek justice...Why not here in EU?
I think this area definately needs to be improved. e.g. why not have MA record every conversation in pm and all different types of chat and store everything forever. So the onus is not on a player to take screenshots with date time etc as the whole thing is recorded anyway and can be refferred to in cases where an avatar needs to be pursued in a real court of law.
Its about time we got tough with scammers and not give them an easy ride annymore.
