TOPIC: Scammed in trade by *Stacy*

This just happened like 20 minutes ago.
I tried to trade my Milkor for 2 million but I didn't recieve the money and my Milkor got removed from the inventory.
Guy's name is *Stacy*, though after trade I couldn't pm him anymore, he probably changed his RP name. A player named Micheal Bay said it's Bobby2Chainz but I'm not sure. So yea...

I reported the matter to the active admin Brother Dark Corner who told me to report the whole thing on the forums.
I'll post some screenshots of the chat with the scammer cuz that's all proof I got.

I understand that I can't get a refund or anything and that's fair, I just want that guy brought to justice.

Cheers

Scamming isn't against the rules, I think.

If you used the F2 trade system it may be he exploited a bug, in which case he Is liable for a ban, if not, you got scammed and no one can do anything.

EDIT:

Love that profile picture m8

Yes, we did use the F2 trade system

EDIT: Thanks m8

Chuteuk or EMP will need to look into this, I will inform them for you.

I have had someone make an F1 about not receiving items after a trade just a few hours ago, must be a bug. Please don't use the trading system untill the developers look into this.

Thank you, it's much appriciated.

The same thing happened to someone yesterday, so he gave us video proof and we saw that the person changed the amount of money to 1$ after accepting the trade, which should not work. If you ever trade with anyone, have video proof or many screen shots of the chat box in trade, if he changes the amount of money AFTER accepting the trade, that's not allowed and is considered exploiting a bug. He should either return the item or whatever he traded or get banned of he scams in this specific way...

Ps:This bug in the trade system will be addressed soon... Also,in real life you can't change the agreed on amount of money AFTER accepting the trade...

I can also confirm that Bobby and another member of the Gentlemans gang scammed me for my M202. During our trade, after we put the agreed money and item in, he claimed that he already accepted and waiting for me to confirm. So I did. A few moments later the trade finished but I never got the agreed $6,800,000. (That was another member of the gang who had a fake name.) Bobby then offered to repay the money if I gave him a C4. I recorded a demo of this, in which he also told me he was waiting on me to accept. I never accepted the trade, but I have proof of him trying to do the same thing as the other guy. My upload speed is very low, and will probably take me 2 full days to upload, but if interested, I am willing to screen share via Skype or any other program.

For now, I recommend this,

DO NOT TRADE WITH ANYONE IN THE GENTLEMAN'S GANG

Yea, there was something wrong with the trade menu yesterday, I sold 10 unranium, lost the 10 uranium and didn't get the money, and the guy I was trading with says he lost his money and didn't get the uranium either.
There was also lots of adverts saying do not trade, it's broken.

by the looks of it it seemes like stacy lost her/his money as well, i dont know if this is a bug in the trading system or if stacy is being a dick and scames you.
i spoke to xhan about this and he told me that scaming is a part of the Role Play act and that the move can be used when ever so stay on your toes unless real money meaning (OC) is coming into the picture, but in this case nether of you got eny thing so i think its a bug with the traiding system that needs to be looked at and i will probably contact some further devs or suepr admins about this becouse if it is a bug it needs to be fixed.

Well, if it's a system bug that they abuse any sane person would not consider it a conventional RP form of scamming, thus the perpetrators would be banned and the items returned.

Bug abuse is bad, kids.
