Warning warning warning
This weekend I had several people (same thing happend to Kaz) that came to me cause they have been scammed by a colorer/texturer.
1 even got ripped off for 900 ped .....
So I would like to ask, that if you recognize those scams, make support cases.
How they got scammed/ripped off.
Give your clothing + materials
Most common is they go with there clothing to the colorer/texturer, give him/her the mats and they get it applied and you pay a fee (or not).
Then they give the applied clothing back ...
What they dont trade is the 90% TT value back in peds but keep it and also if it concerns paint.. they dont use the full stack of 323 but only 49 cans less. The chance of getting a perfect is still high, BUT not 100%
If you ask why its lighter or doesn't look as usual, they will answer its because of the clothing or ... if you ask for the ped return ...the ped return has repaired the clothing (even when it already was fully repaired or is a vehicle) or this wasn't the deal.....
Give your clothing
Same will happen if you go with your clothing to a colorer/texturer that has a stock of paints/textures, give him/her the clothing, they apply and give you back the clothing, tell you what it costed (TT + MU and prolly + high fee but not mentioned offcourse) and not giving back the 90% ped return.
Another scam is when you want a set of clothing, give the colorer/texturer the clothing and ask him to make a set WITHOUT a price agreement.
So the texturer/colorer puts on what he wants, charges 200 % for all he used (and even gets the ped return) and if you tell him that is way to expensive, he will not give you the clothings back, so even a bigger loss.
That way some 1 had to pay 900 ped for his own clothing (he gave his clothing to the colorer/texturer) and payed for just 7 fields of tiarak some brukite tex and some paints........
Let them know how you want it and DONT pay if it isn't the result you wanted. Again make pictures of the chat + the trade.
If you ask for a black car with red DONT pay if its black + glossy orange .... make pics and support case.
PLEASE all MAKE SUPPORT CASES.
This weekend many where send and we already got replies back.
Does MA care? YES they do.
But the only way we can stop this is to make support cases and keep sending them.
If only 1 person does that, it will not help, if many do .....
Some tips :
Read Summer's thread how coloring/texturing works https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?182043-Texturizing-and-Coloring-Guide
Want a set or a special design? Ask the colorer/texturer about prices, put this in a pm and/or take pictures
Make pictures of the trades (full TT or not)
Go to a trustworthy colorer/texturer with a perfect reputation.
On my thread I have a list of names of colorers/texturers I worked with before in the past (from now till 10 years back) and they can be trusted 100%

Ask around for prices, what the field cost, fee's for applies. Dont just go to 1 in a hurry, without consulting other for prices. There are huge differences.
