OTM I and a few others are losing faith in you with regards to posts on the forum about scamming and enjoying it.
These started during the week and there is no reason you haven't tracked him down and deleted all his accounts both in game and on the forum.
I have listed a lot of his previous accounts which were admitted to being bought and yet you have done nothing

This is ruining some players gaming experience.

Thanks

Leave te scammers alone when it comes to banning. I somewhat want to side with them when people act so ignorant and get scammed through the most stupid ways. Everyone has been warned and if it's such a simple tactic they use to scam, you deserve whatever has come to you. It's the hard way of learning but if you dot listen in te first place, how will you ever learn?

Dealing with scammers in a different way such as ksing them, not allowing them to join your clan, or blocking them is a much better way imo.

You don't kill a murderer, you put him/her in jail for a long, long time.

+1 OTM don't care about scammers they make it seem like they do but the don't. Aslong as players keep spending money they don't give 2 spell caster.

You seen this guy, Blaze?

I think its fair enough teaching people lessons of 50k max scams (although I'm 100% against scamming), but scamming months of hard-earned goods or even plat bought items such as 500k+ (£70), is just wrong.. ESPECIALLY in a world transfer.

Yeah, this person is pathetic. He/She told everyone what their methods which means you should know what to look for. Proving to be someone else by logging onto a fake doesn't prove anything. World transfer with the original who would be higher level than 5 -.-

Gaining someone's actual trust then scamming them is probably the best way to scam. So how can you avoid that? There arn't too many ways. I know I can trust Hyden for example because many people in ES (a top clan) trust him and when I asked for a transfer from my druid, he said he only transfers for clannies and friends (he didn't know it's me). I can trust you because you are the general of a top clan, I've known you for so long, and you have trusted me with your things. I also take pics when I lend things, which wont prevent me from being scammed, but will assure justice (lets say a clannie scams me and I prove it. I would expect them to either return the item(s), get kicked, ksed, or all the above).

Thete is more to it than just ehat I have listed but when you are constantly being warned, you should be carefull. Take responcibility for your own actions and if you get scammed, you don't need to blame others. You can either choose to continue playing and be extra carefull or you can quit. Just don't come on the forums expecting something to be done by OTM.

Sometimes, when I'm on ****ternate character :lol: , I get whispers for transfers from people I don't know that also don't know me. I transfer for them of course but what If I didn't? Would they ask someone else? They could be scammed easily. I've transferred a set of heroic gear for a level 60 rogue once and felt bad for them because I was lower levelled and clanless on that alt which means I could have scammed them if I were not who I am.

Be careful with who you trust, guys and gals

One concern I have is he buy/trades level 100 accounts so no one knows who he is and then magically get a trustworthy account and does it again.

Granted its their own fault but should be stopped.
