ESI scam

hello i'm not new here i play since almost two years so im used with scammers...

but i'm pissed coz i was scammed yesterday l( they managed to scamm me this time) ...with ESI
They took from me a 610 peds ESI (it can worth even a bit more)
a 106 peds tt esi ...

The stuff is that the scammer took the account of my friend so i trust !! i thought really it was my friend...(he was talking in a kind way don t be sad if i leave and all i asked him why do u leave ... he told me the business the family...)
those people have a nerve it's awful...

He took the account of my friend and said he was leaving the game so that he was giving his skills for free and he made me bought a big ESI...i bought the ESI to a seller and then i gave the ESI as i thought it was my friend... he told me one socond and i didn t see him comin back... some hours later with the same account he came back .. he was trying to scam a friend of mine in fact...and this scammer managed to scam another one like me and not few peds !!! a lot so it can t go on like that !!!

SO carefull people with even ur friends it can be a scammer hidden ...

Now im quite broke this stupid scammer stole almost all my peds it was my first hoff peds...and we can't do a thing
those scammers are stupids they don't have bollocks they need a comp to steal from you they should come here IRL ...i will show to him wot is it to scam me !

Too many scams like that exist I think that the safety security stuff in entropia should be increase coz gold card its not enough !!!

Rippy

P.S: Entropia should really arrest those people coz they are virtual stealer but they steal our real money... the security has to be higher ...

MA can never guarantee that your friends have not been hacked, or have decided to scam you.

As much as this sucks, and as scumbaggish as scammers are, it's not MAs fault and they can't prevent such things.

Sorry for your loss.
You have reported this to MindArk right? It won't get you your peds back, but could maybe prevent the scammer from doing it again to others.

Sad story indeed.

But what makes you think he wasn't just being your friend to set you up for a long time scam?

Seen it all...

Anyway, you should warn your soc and people else on your friendlist.

Doesn't really mean your "friend" got hacked because the character started to scam unless you got hold of your real friend and he told you so.

You know, where it comes down to money, people do really strange things. I just would be carefull as always with "things that look too good to be true". "Friends" of mine ended up punching each other faces in RL because of some "unique" sword... And it wasn't really the time when virtual items had a value but in the game itself.

Thats sucks.
MA should make public jails in towns. When a scammer is catched by MA police ingame, he is puted in the ingame jail, and every body can unlock a new skill: Scammer dung hit.

Hi,

Very sorry to hear the story.

But.........
Stop believing that a person will be given free meaby 15k peds in skills.
You will believe a person in street which will say you "I will give you 2000$"?

Ok let us act against the scammers but it's us who will have to do it.
While being more careful.
it is necessary to stop deferring the faults on MA.

Rules : not believe what is too beautiful to be true.

Again sorry to hear.
I hope your story help another ppl.
I wish you new a hof to rectify the situation.

Good Luck
