Okay, plenty of people have been scammed in the process of playing Guild Wars. Now instead of making accusations here and there, why don't we make a thread to post and investigate scammers? If I can get a team willing to help me find scammers we can do this. If you want to help me investigate, send me a PM. If you have a scammer that you've ran into post it here. Confirmed scammers will be posted on this post in BOLD.
EDIT: It might also help to note where they usually stick around and what they do. Thanks again.

If you are going to post names, you should have screen shots to back up your claim, otherwise....don't post.

Like I said, it's hard to verify them if I have no idea where they are or what they do.

just woundering but how will this stop them? all it will do is let there name be known for scamming and they can easyly make a new char...

I can't stop them, but they can be found and confirmed on this forum. I'm just doing what I can to help.

How did the 4 players mentioned in the thread scam? Kinda hard to be scammed in this game if you are paying attention. And there is always a chance to get scammed on a run.

PS: If you ever try getting someone banned this way, it'll probably backfire without your account in ANET's crosshairs.

Why don't you people say what happened rather than just saying "so and so scammed me" In most cases that I've heard of it is just as much the fault of the person who thinks they were scammed for not paying attention and in some other cases honest mistakes really do take place. This seems more like a place for people to make baseless allegations against people for whatever reasons that you might be mad at someone for. Post how you were scammed and let us decide who was to blame???

Why would Anet have done something about about you being unhappy with the outcome of a trade that you agreed to and accepted?

Where will it end...

Someone tried to scam me yesterday. I am not going to post a name and I don't have a screenshot, but I will post the basic, simple principle...
The scammer announced that he wanted to buy "2 bottles of silver dye for 1,5P". I agreed to sell and in the trade window, he offered 1P 5G. I told him that he had made a mistake and he answered that he thought "1,5P" meant 1P, 5G and that it's basically the same. Using my 1337 mathematics skill, I convinced him that 1500 > 1005. His excuse was "A friend gave it to me and told me to sell it for 1,5P". Yes. Whatever. I have no idea what you are talking about. He then informed me that he did not have enough money to pay 1500 gold (which I don't believe, based on his level...).
Of course the trade did not happen, but after some minutes then very same person once again announced that he would buy "2 bottles of silver dye for 1,5P".... I intervened and corrected him publicly, making him leave the district.

Scammers can be stopped if you simply pay attention, and if the trader starts arguing about, for example, the lack of his mathematical skills (e.g 1.5k = 1500) then cancel the trade and leave him be. The only way I can see that people can scam is by changing the trade window and hitting accept before you notice, in which case its as much your fault for not paying attention as it is his for being an out right ass. If theres another way to scam other than changing whats in the trade window, I'd like to know so I know what to avoid.
Thanks

Not paying attention was my downfall aswell. I lost 50K......... i wanted to buy an axe so i went to storage to see some one and got shown a couple. I said i wanted one of them he canceled. then opend a new window looked the same gold axe. But it wasnt and it wasnt worth 50k. I said to him you have give me the worng one.He said sorry to late it is sold. he doest respond to me anymore.

I'm not sure where this thread is going. But this is not a issue of scamming. Just simply a way that more experienced players take advantage of the lesser ones.
Take your time, look at the transaction, make sure you know that 1p = 1,000g.
And if your not sure the value of something go to the traders and find out first.
