Agreed, but my point is to confirm the post made by the OP on what he experience was a scam BUT like many have said, the OP should have double checked the trade window. U can say that it was an impulse trade on the OP side.Darq wrote: 2 years agoScammer or not (for me it is a rip-off with a social engineering), the person could have prevented that. I understand how frustrating it is and i don't like person who do such things. But i lost sympathy for action with so little care. He did make a trade with such high value and didn't care to double check?d2rppa69 wrote: 2 years ago
This is how i see. Since the person who swapped out and “stole” the runes from this person by placing a fake Infinity in, it is considered bad intend, malicously trying to con the user of his hard earned runes, very different than that of one person who decides to willingly trade off his bers etc etc for something he doesnt know the value of it, in that case, ur comment regarding “own stupidity” does make sense and it would be the user’s fault.
So for all intend and purpose, i myself would consider this person a scammer.
Just my take
The thing is you can't fight scams by just calling the scammer scum or else in the anonymous internet. This is a tilt against windmills and waste of time. The only way to fight this is by prevent it in technical ways (but only the devs can do it) or let the people learn to protect their belongings and give them no attack points. As long as people fall for such things there will be scammers. This is not a thing about Diablo but common sense in the real world.
If only the OP knew of the user who scammed him, he could mention the person’s bnet tag and if that person uses this site, maybe talking to him again to see if that person would return his high runes(i doubt it knowing humans are greedy in general, but he could try…)
