My God i hope you lot get scammed, really take a step back and listen to what your saying - i know forgery is easy- but lets get back to the original point, look at the A-net response- they are happy to have people profiteering like this- how can you guys stomach that- are you saying that people like me and complex who make our money honestly should get scammed like this and not be able to take any form of action? look at the situation it was 2am, ANYONE (even you perfect people in this forum) can make that mistake- why would we want to shame this guy unless he did something we feel strongly about, we are just trying to make sure it doesnt happen to other people on gw- is that so bad, fariplay dont name n shame for no good reason- but the guy has shamed himself by being a dishonest person- this my friends is what its all about, nothing else- i didnt mean to break your rules and i apologise for that- just please see this from our side, your starting to make out we are bad people, not them......
why lock the thread- i thought forums were for discussion not censorship....
Im just trying to get help.....

As ive said, there is rules in place to stop people abusing it to falsely accuse innocent players.
But your buddy if he was so tired maybe should have went to bed? You cant blame the 2am thing, and im not supporting the scammer either.
Ive been nearly scammed, maybe one day I will, I take screenshots of every transaction I have, and ill send to Anet if the need arises.
They will check logs in the system etc, and if he was scamming he will get punished.
But again, the forums have a rule and thats not to post names no exceptions. Probably a high percentage of people here have probably been scammed, doesnt mean all of them have posted names, sure they are upset and angry about it, but they dont break rules.

There are many stories from players who have been scammed. Many of us have been scammed before so you guys aren't alone. Posting your unfortunate incident is not the problem. It's the accusation of that person. Yes, a majority of us would love to have a list of known scammers but that won't happen on this site. Allowing such a thing will be opened to abuse. There will be jerks out there who would amuse themselves by doctoring screenshots and accusing innocent players. It will lead to one persons word against anothers, and threads/forums will degenerate to slagging matches between accuser and the accused. I for one would not want this site to turn into that.
This forum has rules and they exist for a reason.

Scamming is easy to overcome. Your paragraph gave me a headache trying to read. Sounded you were talking in circles? IF you were scammed, the scammer got you. He did a wrong thing, but you joined greedily or stupidity. Many scammers sell good thing for hella cheap.
Runners- if they ask to be paid at beacons and not at a zone or arrival. They might or is scammers.
Weapons- Trader can switch out the weapon for a regular white one you didn't want but clicked anyway.
Gold- You say 35 Platinum, the guy shows it. Modifies it and makes it 35 Gold.
Seems many kids are the ones to complain because they clicked quickly without double checking. Don't wanna be scammed learn from your mistakes. If gold is the problem don't fret its easy to come by. Slow, but easy through drops and expert salavage items for materials and you will have your money back.

FondantFancy scammed me! Ban him! I have proof!
Now see how easy that was? Boards are set up for discussion, but there are also privacy and harassment issues to be considered. And if this board is anything like most others I have been on and moderate, then the mods don't take kindly to you restarting a thread that they have closed.
If you don't like the policy, make sure you take a good read of the code of conduct. If you can't abide by them, then this isn't the place for you.
Even if you think you are doing a public service, there is an appropriate channel for these types of complaints.

The best defense against scanners is caution, in trades i always look twice before acept... happily i find only one scanner in my game life and avoid... he offer 55g by a 55k staff... another type of scanner is a screamers, i trade gordac needle by something i cant remenber ( i have screen of course), but the dude win something like 20k in trade np, i just what the green to complet my collection... well the screamer start say i lie to him, that i stolen hin, that i dont give the correct green... i just look up at log and see that i make the correct thing and he is a liar... he whant give back to me a purple staff... sadly...

Guild Wars Guru does not enforce rules ingame, as we have no power over that. That's what PlayNC Support is for. In addition, we don't allow the posting of people's names just to accuse them. It ends up not being a discussion but a flamefest. Closed.
