new SCAM aleart ! ! !Follow

maybe you should have done some investigating to see if the person was guilty before removing them? hm o_O?

(not you personally of course...whoever did the disbanding)

he didnt do it personally, said he read it on his message board from guild (I almost made the same assumption). thanks for the heads up on the scam by the way, but making the guild go /anon in trader mode is no gonna stop scammers from finding ways to scam.

sucks we have to constantly go out of our way to keep from getting scammed...kinda like real life eh?

oops...sorry Singdall...i made a poor assumption

making your trader anon wont help in this matter as you can still be targeted and then /guildstatus to find traders in a guild. It would be very easy to set up a hotkey to do this to almost every trader in the bazaar very quickly and then parsed out later.

Ok. I'm confused. How is this a scam? What did the person scam you about. I just think that as scams go, this is a "low tech" as you can get.

Basically, some random person just claims that someone in a guild cheated him? That's not really a scam. That's just someone making something up. Just ignore that person. No one of consequence listens to any of the people who /shout in various zones that "so and so rippped me off... blah blah blah". Most people think of them as an anoyance and tell them to shut the heck up. Why on earth would any guild leader take such a claim seriously, much less disband a guild member without even talking to that person first? That's not really a scam. That's just extreme stupidity on the part of the guild leader.

How did someone rip anyone off while in trader mode? I'm sorry. But it's just not that complicated. You put what you're giving to someone in the trade window, and they put what you want in return in their trade window, and you both hit accept. It's really pretty foolproof (except for really dumb fools). As far as actual tradermode stuff goes, it's even less falible. You can't make a transaction except to buy stuff that they have for sale. Again. How exactly do you rip someone off?


I suppose if someone you've never seen before walks up to you and claims you owe him 20 bucks, you just go "Oh? I do? Ok. Here's your 20...", then you can consider this a scam. I just think it's a case of absolute nonsense and/or stupidity. I'd be just a touch concerned about a guild leader who would actually fall for such a lame stunt... At least he/she didn't actually give that guy money, so that says something, but to deguild someone with zero proof and no investigation? Silly...

I didn't understand a word you said. Maybe is you weren't so mad over a game i would understand you more. I don't under stand how he tried to scam you.
