Well today, i was looking for a Runner to Copperhammer Mines on my lv 8 Necro, so some guy said he will run me, his name was ***name edited***,
So like always, i always tell runners, if they are sure they can make it, incase they lie and take the money, so he said he made it 3 times 100% success, i said ok. He also said he works for Anet and is a admin, at first i thought to myself, he is probably lieing then i thought, isnt it illegal to be an admin if u arent, so i thought maybe he isnt lieing.So then he said come to Drok Dis 5, and i did he was waiting at storage, so anyway i go to him gave him and he said pay 4k up front, and 4k there i said ok. Next he puts me on ignore and leaves.
I am certian he did this before, so just watch out for ***name edited***, i took screens and reported him, i hope he does get what he deserves.
Watch out for this scammer

also, you sound dumb
8k for a run to copperhammer is a little extravagant

A fool and his money are something something
Mercenary662
ya...and never pay upfront, never. i run and get run alot, and heres a tip, dont trust any one.
evilmadboy
well, i was in great need for the run, i needed to get a skill from there badly, the fact that i lost money doesnt matter, but the thing is that he does it to many other ppl, for me the loss of 4k is nothing, but for some others the loss of 4k is alot. Reason i put his name down so that people WILL know to watch out for him. This was my first time paying upfront, but i spent a while looking for a runner since i tried to run there with hench and failed.

edit it yourself before it gets edited for you
oddly enough, it's pretty much the only forum rule i give a shit about and agree with
evilmadboy
i dont get it though, shouldnt ppl know who are scammers......
Tarot Ribos
Here's the reason why there is that forum policy:
How do we know you aren't lying yourself, and just looking to make someone else sound bad?
Since we don't know both sides of the story, it isn't fair to set forth these preconceived notions about other players. That player could in fact be a member of this board, and might have taken great offense to what you just said.
And... yeah. Reading your original post made my eyes hurt. Please try to use somewhat correct grammar when posting on a message board. This isn't instant messaging... you can edit what you're going to say before entering it, and people won't notice. Not to mention it makes you look... less intelligent to have horrible spelling.

Ok. The guy comes in and tells you his story about he got scammed, trying to help other people. He didnt flame anyone but the person that he claims scammed him, and every reply is about how stupid he is, telling him everything hes done wrong in his post, and telling him to grow a brain.
Are you sure its not the people replying that need to grow a brain? I dont get why everybody is so hostile.
I dont think 8k is too much for a run, if you have the money then u pay it. Some people pay up to 100 k for runs.
I agree that you should not have paid up front, but if the solution is, : 'Dont trust anyone, you are stupid for thinking people are honest' making more people think like this is really going to make one happy community where no one trusts anyone. Great

"This dude is totally a scammer" threads like this doesn't really help anyone. If you have enough money to pay more than 100K for something or pay someone to run you through the game in advance, you honestly should have enough common sense to realize you're running a risk. Most people on the forums do.
Your only real option in dealing with someone who defrauds you is reporting him to Anet.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Guild Wars admins sit around in random districts and run people for money
Oh, but wait! Of course! You got scammed by an admin!
Jesus, any noob that falls for anyone saying they're an admin deserves to have all their cash scammed -.-

Forums are simply not a great place to get sympathy when you did something that's partially/mostly your fault.
Both Guild Wars forums I go to have a pretty hard stance on threads detailing in game grievances with another player. This is not the place to bring your personal vendettas nor is it a resource for players to avoid. I understand that evilmadboy may be mad, but he and others still should respect that.

And Shinsei i dont know what the **** is your problem, you are nothing but a dumb idiot flamer, here i am trying to let people know and you are flaming, for all i know, you are probably the scammer, and there you are thinking you are smart, maybe you are, maybe you are a geek who has no friends and ugly as hell, who has no life so nothing to do, goes to forums acting all big and bad where in reality you are nothing.
fyi.. i really do have screenshots, i can just host them and post some if you want. But i am pretty sure he will get banned, if not for scamming for Impersonating.

Err, evil i think your actually wrong there. You cant post/say whatever you like since there are rules and guidelines that need to be followed when posting in here.
I think you should just learn from your mistakes and take the other posts into consideration, but flaming like that will not win you too many points.

Shinsei, get off your high horse and stop thinking you're better than everyone. Your grammar patrol bs is getting ridiculous. You act all superior. Why don't you go outside and find some friends to grammar patrol and stop acting like a dick on a message board, "kid"

Yeah, but you're always the dickhead in most threads. I read without replying to many threads. I just figured i'd let you know.
Tactical-Dillusions
I'd love to know what happened to this guy with regard to punisment. He wouldn't be punished for scamming...only for saying he works for Anet.
Big break of EULA there!
Anet employees never advertise their presence - they are uber smurfs. Only Gaile does that for PR purposes.
If someone does claim to work for Anet, ask them to write in yellow text...if they can't, report them.

I do believe I remember somewhere in the guidelines for the site it saying something regarding grammar. Something like when making a post or a thread, because it isn't an instant messenger system or some other form of fast messaging, there is no reason why your post should be filled with bad grammar and things like "u" for "you". If it was some other forum who's FAQ said that then I wholeheartedly agree with it and think it applies to more than just that forum.
As for the plight of the thread creator's, while I do sympathize, have a little common sense... that and your responses since your complaint have made me less and less inclined to care about your situation.

I looked at the rules and i saw that you cant have posts like instant messages, so thats my fault on that, i didnt know but next time i wont make posts like that anymore.

Now for the screenshots, Since i was told you cant say names and stuff as you can be lieing i am posting 4 screenshots these are the ones of him saying he works for Anet (for those of you that think i am a liar)

No Flaming This one is pretty straightforward. We encourage discussion and healthy debate, and personal attacks are not warranted in either. If you cannot be respectful to others, then don't be surprised if those in charge are not respectful of your continued privelege to post. |
***EDITED: Name was NOT removed from the pics***
Savio
The rules don't seem to say anything against screennames, but avoid them anyway. We aren't saying it didn't happen, what we're saying is that, well, you were extremely naive to fall for it. Just don't pay for anything upfront. Ever.
