Got scammed today on Traderie. Scums do exist........

Relatively new D2R player here. Today i just got scammed of 100

Ral from a guy named K1312, with horrible reviews (I didn't check, and I didn't think that for a video game someone could do this). The scum asked me to join Europe server, most likely he's using some kind of VPN to avoid trace, then I start dropping the

Ral, and dude after picking up, just ran off and even left a 1 star review for me....

I thought ppl play D2 are all cool, but apparently I'm wrong. Scums do exist. So please watch out when you guys doing trades.

I don't know man, sorry to hear. I havent done such an expensive transaction yet that cannot pass through the trading window, and i will probably avoid such. with people on this forum sometimes we trade by dropping on Ground, but I am talking trades worth less than an

Ist

sad thing is the revelation that there are these scums that could go so low for a game blew my mind. 1

Jah costs like what less than 1 dollar on Asia server? Just can't fathom someone scams 1 dollar off you. Its laughable but also very sad.

Scum's Battlenet Tag is: Playa#1996

Sorry to hear that, dude.

Luckily, so far I did not run into any scammer yet. Neither on traderie, nor in random games and especially not here. On the contrary, people on this site seem very kind and helpful.
But I also try to avoid drop trades with total strangers and I am not playing this game for a long time yet.

However, trading etiquette usually commands to drop as simultaneous as possible on clearly distinguishable spots. So next time if the other guy did not drop his stuff while you unloaded the first batch, do not go for the next batch. And if he starts moving towards you, better start picking stuff up again asap.

Yeah on traderie, you will find some scummy traders every now n then. that site rating system is flawed. Anyone who is a thieve can build up their 5 star ratings there to garner trust to do 2 big scam down the line.

My advice, always trade via trade window there, unless u are 100% sure that person is trusthworthy.

If trading for crafting materials, do a break down of value n trade in batches that fits the trade window.

Sorry for your lose. At least its only 100 rals, and not 100 jahs

Just becareful next time

Always use the trade window unless it's someone you know you can trust, such as a well known trader on one of these sites that has feedback, or someone you have traded with prior. It's a pain because of how slow it is but it's worth it.

Sucks that this happened, some people suck. What were you trying to trade for? Maybe some of us can band together and get you something.
