Where do I complain about Scammers like [Removed by Support]
The main problem here is that the system allows for scams to easy,what i mean is if you tade goods you both have to accept so there is a fail safe in that.
Whit challenges its different 1 party will always be in the position to scam the other either by stealing the offer if no downpayment was made or ppl running of whit the downpayment. It's ok to be white
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” |

Funny detail. The scammer posted in this topic. Guess he enjoyed the scam so much he had to rub it in abit more. [Removed by Support]
If only support would be as quick to help people as to protect scammers. Last edited by Miská on Apr 16, 2017, 5:49:56 PM

At this point, I'm just surprised the majority here thinks it's 'not OK' to sham him for scamming, but think it is 'OK' to sham me for complaining.
Tells me what I need to know about the culture. | |
" You got slaves of the devs that are always gonna fight back lmao Remember, no empathy for victims, just a tautology of policies until you keel over (see: United Airlines) Fake Temp League Elitists LUL

" Why are you surprised? It's not like you have proof the dude scammed you. And even if he did, it's your fault for doing something so risky. It's not like he violated ToS by taking your money in a trade window and logging out. Welcome to Wraeclast. Nothing is funnier than seeing people getting screwed when buying achievements or getting their char killed on bandit quests in HC. I wish there were youtube highlight reels. |

" It's your word vs his. The developers can only take on a neutral stance which as unfair as it might seem to you at this point in time, is the right action to take. It's Social Darwinism as you rightly put it. Live, learn and move on. | |
Please understand that the rational for the "no naming & shaming"-policy is not to protect scammers. The rationale is to keep the level of hostility down on forums.
Witch hunts, accusations true or false, forum wars ... they can quickly escalate and really damage the community. No one but toxic trolls wants that to happen. Such hostilities might also further deteriorate to the point where other breaches of policy require heavy moderation. Which costs REAL people REAL time and REAL effort. And there is just no point to it. Edit: Your cause might be just. The next person's cause for posting might not be. Often, it will not be apparent who is right and who is wrong. No one has the ressources to find out. If that even can be done. Hence the policy without exceptions. Last edited by Archinquisitor on Apr 17, 2017, 1:49:37 AM

" Don't quit. Just Dont buy anything without commensurate item in trade box or unless you really know the dude. Clans are useful for this type of thing. Yes POE is full of scammers and scams but i've never been a victim because I don't allow it. Simple as that It also helps I dont give a shit about challenges so I don't feel compelled to buy them. Whatever I get is by accident of RNG. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep on Apr 17, 2017, 5:26:13 AM

Thank you 鬼殺し and others for your replies. I've read them all and thought about the implications of each other the last week (even Frenshi's). But, I was curious about:
"Since you've never met me, I would interested to hear how you arrived at this conclusion. Last edited by Taylor5CC on Apr 24, 2017, 1:31:12 PM
