What is the most pathetic scamming attempt that you encountered?

ANet pretending that there was nothing wrong with breaking their own rules for a monthly tourney.

When your provider stoops that low...theres not much left really is there?

yeah that guy's banned now. saw him asking on how to change the forum titles and when someone told him it was dependent on post count, he just started making stupid posts everywhere . ..

ok this genuinely freaked me out. I was nearly convinced that these guys were for real, there were more of em, but cbf putting em in the sc =P

True.

Time for a close.

back when factions had just released, i got my hands on a godly q8 15^50 GPB, I also had 350 ecto.
while trying to sell in la being the old kamadan, i was pmd, 'hey u wanna double ur money?"
mesmerized by the offer i jumped in and said yes.
they told me he could dupe anything i wanted.
i joined his party and we traveled to thirsty river, i was damn excited.
We entered the mission and the guy ran off to the ghostly hero who opens the 1st gate.
off my screen the guy told me, now drop whatever u want dupped onto the ground.
thinking i was safe i dropped my ecto and my blade and waited.
he talked to the ghost activating the cut scene. teleporting us both to the ghost. using hes amazing warrior run skills he ran to my ecto and blade faster than me.
what can i say? i shoulda seen it coming. back then would u have?

Oh well, the greedy who want to exploit the system get what they deserve.

I think every scam that's ever been attempted has been posted in this thread, along with off topic or just +1 replies.
