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.

That's pretty crappy. What were you trading for? On NL?

don't make it look like there are game where there are no assholes, you will find good people even in the most toxic games, but there is no such thing as games with 100% good fanbase.

Thanks so much for the

Jah ! Don't know how to repay you but with my respect!

hi,
I have experience the same and post it earlier.
Be sure to make people know this to avoid more people get into this.

He is using looks cheap way to

Attract people who don't read review.

And more problem is that if that account get banned, he is going to restart new account and start fresh.
Make people unable to read review to find out his past criminals record.

the

Ral trade, you have to make it small and several time trade over there(

Ral

Ist then

Ist to your target) , unless they have good record that can avoid this.

I see people they use cheap 1

Perfect Gems item trade to build trust.
those are real trade but it is cheap to build 5 star. There might be different way but I only see obvious case.

1

Perfect Gems, sometimes refer to free 1

Perfect Gems /

Lem /

Hel to buy 5 star. it doesnt have to be scam.

Some may use it to get high rate to get high value faud, it is possible but I dont know that.

Yeah I have been scammed before too in this game it sucks.

Unfortunately, the trade window is the only thing that gives you any semblance of protection at all. An idea for the future, if you have 100

Ral and want a

Jah, first trade 40

Ral for something equal to 2/5ths of a

Jah. then do that again. then do a 3rd trade for something worth 1/5th of a

Jah. now take those items and trade them for a

Jah. I know it's a lot more inconvenient but it will give you much more protection.
