Ok I know its no news that people are being scammed every day and it is sad indeed but I really didnt think it would happen in my case though I am not officially the one that was scammed...

It all started when I started to sell up my acount due to RL issues and needed to get rid of the acount asap....

First of all I sold all my uu so that would just leave me with the shell...I got an adequate offer for my shell and was a waiting few more days to get a better one and then it all started.....

The guy that made an offer was waiting few days until I decide and offered me cash...later I got a higher bid from an other guy.

the first guy told me he is unable to give me cash and has only uu so he would send me the uu and I would sell them....I refused since I wanted to get instant cash asap and dont bother with finding new buyers....

Later I sent a pm to the first guy that I sold my shell....unfortunately the bump put up a broker for 20 mill uu and brokered them to me although I told him to not do it since I wanted cash.....

The new owner refused to send back the uu,ignored all pm`s that were sent to him and instead of returning the uu he found a new buyer and sold the acount and made a profit on someone`s else resources....

This reall made me angry as I had a conversation with the guy and he didnt even bother to do something about it....all he saw was just $$$$$

Now the first bummer who sent the 20 mill uu is without them though it was his fault technically but still.....he was scammed and thats not nice....

I feel pity for the new owner who invested cash into the acount,indeed I do but I am not happy with the fact that one punk made a profit,other is without everything and one is enjoying the acount....

Maybe it isnt fair but dealers should always make sure the acount is ok and secure before buying to avoid any misunderstandings in the game like this.....

I am out of the game but I dont feel like leaving this just like it is...today it was my trader,next time it can be any of you,maybe even ex-SGW players....

Anyone out there has the permission to mass my acount Zerathull(ID 82328) to bits and farm it before the guy quits or is willing to return the whole or atleast a part of the resources back that dont belong to him...

By this I ask all my friends out there,if its possible take the acount down and dont respond to any of the pm`s that may be sent to you(moaning,whinning,crying)....they are not to be accepted in any way :shock:

Dear god... does the long history of scamming not ring any bells to anyone? You sodding deserve to be scammed you spanner! You gave him the account without getting paid! Get the money first, always trade with someone who you know, or someone that can front a considerable reputation (thats what the feedback threads are for). I mean seriously... how many times has someone been scammed now, and a post has been put in the general section or the cheaters part? Use your brains, do a little bit of extra work and do it properly. As amusing as I find it sometimes, its getting a bit old now. Kids, if you cant do it properly...try and get mummy and daddy to do the trading for you, but you make sure you watch and learn now... Just make it easier for scammers half the people do..

lets throw a bit of general knowledge in the works here to. you shouldnt really ever trust anyone. Especially someone you cant see, hear or have never met before. $$ are real..they can be applied in day to day life. UU are not.

sometimes i really wonder how us humans have survived this long..its incredible...i mean...*trails off into long boring rant..*

Please dont mass this account. I just purchased that account for $350 and i would not be happy if it got massed. The UU might not belong to this account but i sure as hell just paid for it. I wouldnt have bought it had i seen this post just last night but i was unfortuante enough not to. Had i not just recieved a message ingame with a link to this post i wouldnt have even known this was going on!. My apologies to who evers UU they were.

Tai_Mei_Shu its not your fault. So it would be wrong to mass your new account, i think you will be ok. It might be worth adding on your planets you are the new owner, just to be safe.

I agree that massing Tai would be very unfair. The fact is that there is no target left that is really guilty. The scammer has ducked out with the money. Definately mark the email address that Zerathull gave for him, but justice can't really be served.

ON the other hand, if you were willing to spend your resources massing for justice... spend them instead by sending some uu to the guy at the beginning of the chain who is out 20m uu. Sure, he set up the broker with Zerathull when he had been told cash only, but 20m uu is too high a price for that mistake. Besides, it's not like you can cancel a broker you set up in this game. Once set there was no way for him to stop it.

Anyway, it seems the only fair thing that is left to do.

obviosly you didnt read the thread properly :roll: .....the uu were sent to my acount by mistake although the guy was aware about not sending them but made a mistake.....

What I am trying to point is the fact you dont buy an acount and take it with resources that arent suppose be there or were sent there by a sort of misunderstanding between the players....

If u buy an acount it sort of means you want to actually play the game,thats why you bought the acount and dont take resources that arent yours and sell the acount 2 days later....just to make a profit :shock:

Thats what it all is about....pure profit...people actually dont use their brains and cant be honest but have to cheat all their life just to earn few penny`s...sad indeed :roll:

Dont go telling around how people should trade and that they are stupid kids...sigh get a life

We are trying to point out that people cant be honest and use every chance they can......I am/was in this game for over 2 years....I couldnt even have a look into my mate`s or my bro`s eyes who have been playing this game for about much as myself....what would they see????
A poor scammer who made himself a "good name" on SGW by scaming a aplayer.....yeah wow really cool

Maybe this guy doesnt care about anyone or doesnt have friends here...I do have RL friends in this game and even going to meet people with who I have been playing because they are cool....

But what the heck eyyy???.....I made some extra cash,I may leave

for some people this game is just a way how to scam others....for others its place to enjoy the game after a hard day of work and chat with their friends and mass,raid or whatever.....

It's all nice and good you explaining everything Zerathull, but maybe we should all think about how to help the guy who was scammed, who lost 20millUU, i would donated UU except i don't have any i can give away. Also i think from this thread we can tell very well, that there are a few very sad people who only play SGW for profit, and when they see a way to make that profit, snatch it and dissapear before things can be put right. :smt093 :smt093 :smt093
