Everyone please take the time to read this, so if one of us is unfortunate enough to take either role, we may keep this in mind.

I made a dumb choice, I know, to trust someone with 100k that wouldn't even earn me anything substantial... but I learned a lesson from getting scammed of all my savings, and hopefully all of the scammers will.

This is the chatlog between the scammer and I, after I finally got his/her attention....

Let this be inspiration to those who have to resort to this hurtful way of making gw gold.

Please don't report snip - name removed even tho he's a scammer, I think that over time, he will learn.

If you can't see chatlog, go to this link...

snip - remove names before posting

Hackers suck they don't have any skill with the game and try to find a "Easy" way to get what they want. In the end they lose it all, Hackers in Runescape thought for 2-4years they had gotten away. But Runescape staff just kept the names and banned like 15,000hackers at once as an example. Sure most of them will make another account, less then 50% will learn from their mistakes and face the same problem over and over again. Personaly I would have reported him, I hate hackers. They take sick joy out of messing up computers worth more than thier bank accounts and try stealing information only to be arrested.

Yes I careless about getting my gold back or items back but leaving people like this in the game is sick. And if Anet would enforce there policey about http://www.plaync.com/us/help/roc_gw.html and http://www.plaync.com/us/help/eula_gw.html scammers and scams would be less, A lot less.

Ya i got scammed to by someone and i reported him w/ full screen shots and the next day he was doing the same scam oh well life goes on and they never learn. trust me they don't.

miss the days of D2 and the way you can hire a PK -)
