Scammed (41-43)

View:241

You know the scam where the same person has 2 accounts pretending to be different people who want different things and basically trick you into thinking your going to make out with something good by being the MIDDLE MAN for them. I fell for it.

I lost my +3 -5 ELITE Lv110 Trojan Armor + 5 DBs.
All I got was a +3 -3 ELITE Lv87 Trojan Armor.

Ok go on laugh.....



Ok now call me stupid.....


Ok now listen to the reason. On diamond server there are many masterful scammers. My excuse is, it was Saturday morning and I just woke up, and greed got the best of me.

Fuguwi was offering a socket coronet for a -3 elite trojan armor that was level 87 or higher.

DeVVi "conveniently" had a level 87 +3 -3 elite trojan armor. She wanted 15 dbs to trade for the armor. To me that sounded fair. (please note that the only reason why no flags went up was because of my greed for a Socket Coronet). So I rushed without thinking to buy dbs from the site(no I am not a DB buyer, just use them to obtain the unabtainable, ie NightDevil, Socket Coronets...). I purchased 5 dbs. I attempted to purchase more but ran into this message, "monthly limit of 10 Dbz codes exceeded. Please email blah@blah.com for refund". Doh! So I it turns out I cant even get the Dbz to make the trade. Desperation kicks in. She then says 5 dbz and my -5 +3 trojan armor for the trade.

May I just pause to say that she was masterful in the manipulation. I didnt guess one second that it was the same person.
Fujuwi: Hold on one second I think I found someone who wants to trade. They have a -3 elite trojan armor and its enchanted too.

TrojanFury: Please dont. I really want to trade you. I want an extra socket and this is a rare chance that I have to get one.

Fujuwi: She said no! Lol she doesnt want the socket coronet.
(hook line and sinker)

At that point I thought for sure if I can make the trade with her I could get the socket. Stupidity and Greed.

Either or I made the trade... As I was at the window having second guesses, Fujuwi said "I will throw in a soc archer hat too." LOL, its like could I be anymore stupid? If i missed all other flags that one I should have noticed. Once I made the trAde Fujuwi all of a sudden stopped talking and I realized what just happened.

Ok lastly, heres the one that made me really feel stupid. Fujiwi an actually player on Diamond was in a vender at market selling a socket coronet for 219kk. Im sure the fake Fujuwi was hoping I had seen it on sale and thought it was him I was talking too. The reality is I never thought to check the market or anything. Scams are so subtle, you only realize right after they happen.

Hope this helps someone, but Im sure all of you know of this.
