ESI Scammer on the loose

Earlier tonight I was approached by a person from the La Faction Sativa society.

She said that her husband wants her to quit the game and that she wants to give me all her skills and items (lots of armors and weapons) for FREE! all I had to do? is to give her an ESI so she could load the skills and give them to me! she wanted me to scan her and see the skills with my own eyes.

Of course she wouldn't give me anything until I got her the ESI, she won't even give me the Ghost armor and the amps to sell and buy her the ESI!! "since you are giving it away,its my money you scammer machine! let me sell them and buy you the ESI!!"

Many people in twin peaks instantly recognized her name and stated that she has scammed people before.

So people please be warned and warn others while this active scammer is on the loose, all you will ever get from her is one less ESI paid with your precious peds.

Yes, I recognised the name of the scammer from when she tried to scam me a while ago and called her out in Twin. Twice.

This would be the one, possibly from montana, would it?

That time she claimed to have a HoF she couldn't extract because of all the Molisks nearby (NE of Troy), and asked to borrow a gun. I offered to shoot them instead and she went off merrily dropping bombs. Strange behaviour for someone with a HoF to extract. Specially a hof that was so secret it didn't even show up in the HoF list!

Also strange that someone in full Gremlin couldn't afford a gun.

I must admit that the person in question has a lot of creativity

But it doesn't mean it's less worse. Scammers exist and will exist in the future too.

Nice to warn everyone about it

If this character is a well known scammer, how come MA has not locked the account yet?

Nobody bothers to inform MA?

Locking their account doesn't do much good, they just come back with another.

Better the devil you know than the one you don't, as they say.

However, it would seem they (MA) are just waiting for the right time (read: when she's got stuff good enough to forfeit).

Perhaps it would be nice to give these AVA's a special recognition, like the star on top of the guides, only something more appropriate for a scanner -- like a big red "Known Scammer - Do Not Trade" symbol of some sort.

And so MA nerfed our weapons and we were displeased but loyal. Now, when MA massively nerfs everything and tells us to put our weapons and skill aside, to go forth and color and texturize our clothes, are we to do so dispite it being an abomination to what was ONCE good?!?
