A year ago...i quit because the game got boring...i started selling UU, to at least have something to do...one day i got scammed...on a big trade...and thus ending my SGW career.

The same thing happened to me this morning...19 mill UU...gone in a flash...dreams destroyed...

As of right now...i dont know what i'm gonna do...i borrowed 200 dollars, from a friend to buy UU, and sell for higher...and now i owe him that 200$...

One month of my UP...gone...all the turns i bought and sold...wasted...naq i saved and aquired...wasted...all thats left is 100k spies...and 200 dollar debt...

Im gonna sit out for a while...contemplate about SGW...maybe ill come on once in a while to bank...

For those who are interested in the person. His id is 1908647.

hhm007@hotmail.com nope

He logs off..


~Edit for clarification~


Ok...he invited some other dude, and claimed to have done deal with him for 20 mill UU. Which was my mistake, and i should have check if he really recieved 20mill UU.

Then he did a deal with me, for 19 mill UU, b/c i thought the other deal was legit, i could trust him, thus i brokered him 19 mill uu first, he accepted it, and loged off.

After that, i got a friend to check his total army size. I knew his army size before i did deal with him. It was approx 44 Mill UU. When i got my friend to check, he had approx 64 mill UU. If he had really done the deal with the other guy, he should have 44+20+19 mill army size. One hour later i got a friend to check again, his army size had droped to 58mill, with only 370k UU out.

Thus his claims of network problems are false, if he can log on 1 hour later, and get rid of the UU i sent him, then he intentionally took my UU and didnt pay.

i just read all that, and wasted alot of time, cos from all that convo i learnt 2 things

- someone got some money
- someone else got some UU

where's the scam?? give me cliff notes or highlight key areas, please

Yeah ditto im failing to see the scam here...

so your accusing a member of the Knights of Briton which i'm a member of being a scammer???

have you spoke to TT about this?? it might a be mistake and can be easily cleared up.

go talk to him coz he is a genuine player.

im not calling him a scammer. i have the "?"

Im just wondering if anyone here can verify his honesty. Ive pmed him ingame, left him a msg on msn..still no replies.

I have been searching around, and yes, he seems like a very trustworthy guy, but you gotta understand that 19 mill UU is worth alot, and costed me alot also. Im not saying 1005 that he is a scammer, im just staing what happened, to see what others say.

Cause right now, from my point of view, conviently, right after he accpeted the broker, he logged off msn. I got a friend to spy on him, and he had 63mill army size, he was at 44 before. What happened to the other 20 mill uu? and finally, he was clearly on 1 hour later, and his army size did drop from 63 to 58, maybe he bought UU for a friend, or he sent it somewhere else, i dont know. Im just posting what happened to see what you guys think.

Sure enough i want to clear this up, and if it is a misunderstanding i will of course grant full apologies for it.

imo TT isnt a scammer, hes always been a good trader.

He does have a login problem, he can barely get on lol.

Try to ask him about it next time you see him online, i will direct him to this topic whenever i see him online.

i will also pm him containing a link to this.

Ps: sometimes he suddenly logs off from msn when his connection fails, but we'll see

kk thanks alot guys, just to clarify for all future readers. This is not a post about scamming, as i have read around about tom twin, and he seems just very trustworthy.

Im just looking for opinions and people who can vouch, and confirm my beleifs.

If and when tom twin reads this, hopefully we can solve this quickly, and i will grant my apolgies, to you and everyone else i have cause trouble to

Unless hes really a scammer but he will be kicked from our alliance etc.. if thats true.

But i doubt it

Well i have talked to some people in my alliance, and they have traded with him, and say he is very trustworthy, just a dude with bad net. hopefully ill catch him online later (no idea of his timezone) and we can solve this.

Yeah TT has bad net problems, his Bro The Iron Duke has the same problems. I am sure if you message him directly you can sort any problems out.

already did, just waiting for him

Cool, he is in NZ so its about 10:40 or something. 12 hours ahead of the UK.
So I imagine he is at work or whatever College. Something.

so he's gmt+12? Cause im gmt-5

Yes that's right. So 17 hours ahead of you.
