you can't use names..

and if you don't see the difference between 99k or 99g you deserve to get scammed

Yep, seen it all before. You should have checked the price before clicking accept, not feeling well is not the same as being stupid

Always check the label

While I am sorry to hear that you got scammed, please remember that we cannot have names posted in the forum. After all, we don't have proof beyond reasonable doubt, even if somebody posts screenshots. As such, I hope you have screenshots, and if you do, perhaps you can complain to Anet about it. Anet supposedly hands down warnings/bans for offenses like that.

To save you the trouble of reading through the pages of future replies, you will get two types of replies ... (1) sorry man, that sux0rs and (2) n00bster, you got what you deserved.

So let me give you a "sorry to hear about your grief, I hope you get to enjoy the game nonetheless", remind everyone that you cannot be too careful, and close the thread. Have a nice day and enjoy Guild Wars.
