General Discussion - Untainted scammer, any repercussions? - Forum

Hi all, Please don't respond to scam reports just by blaming the reporter for being scammed, as that's not generally constructive and can often just be antagonizing. Further posts of that nature may cause the thread to be locked. If you'd like to make a scam report yourself please email us at support@grindinggear.com and we will look into it.

I love how ppl blame the OP for getting scammed. Getting scammed sucks, and it takes a lot of effort to not get scammed by dbags sometimes, but it is never the victims fault. All the ppl saying the OP deserves to be ripped off simply because he chose to trust another person is just as much a dbag as the scammer.

People are unwilling to give/show first. Most will block their hideout off from anyone until they are paid, which is how it usually is done, even when it is legit. Because you'll get that 1 guy, that joins goes in, and eats all the portals to be a dick. Its lose, lose. Its very seldom legit, and win-win, community/society is too much of scumbags, for everything to be perfect. Why do you go through all that trouble anyways ? Paying for stuff , getting scammed , getting angry at the internets instead of just doing it yourself perhaps or letting it go ?	Posted by skaterboy80 on Sep 22, 2014, 1:33:12 PM Quote this Post

So you are proposing becoming the dbag or pretending the dbag does not exist. Did I get that right?

One more wonderful thread that points out exactly why I play this game strictly solo. I don't want to play with scammers, and I certainly don't want to play with anyone who could be scammed like this. That leaves.... me.	Posted by Shagsbeard on Sep 22, 2014, 8:15:23 PM Quote this Post

Back in Nemesis, someone posted on the forums that I was surely botting because I didn't answer one of his whisper in under 2 minutes. I was maybe taking a dump or eating or alt-tabing or whatever, and GGG deleted that guy message as soon as I emailed support about it thanks to their good name and shame policy.
