Beware of the Epic Scam
#1

My mistake is that I trust people too much, well I was selling him my RoRD and Skally Steps for 1375 FSP. I told him that I'd send one now, then the Skally's when I got the FSP. Which is fair, but as soon as he "purchased" them. He begged and begged and begged for the Skally's.
Varkaz told me to ask for the item back and said the whole thing seems like a scam.
His response:

[ Report | Ignore ] xxxxx says: I'll be sure to have HCS under the news channel in the morning. I will be getting my attorney and lawyer all over this. He want's to judge me and he is the one who helps run the game. Well that's big time trouble for him. (; [ Reply | Trade | ST | Buff ]
Well, he's a scammer. People should watch out.
I'm out $40 because of his stupid little games and he won't send back my RoRD either.

This player, ??????? is claiming to buy epics with the Christmas offer. He said he'll buy your epics and place an order for FSP for you. Well, he asks for you to send them first.

Rightly or wrongly, this will get censured by the cows because of bringing "unwarranted" attention to another player. Perhaps censor enough from his name to leave it obvious without being specific ?

You're not out $40. You're out some 0s and 1s that make up a picture that appears on your computer that allows you to play Fallensword. You "donated" $40 which is gone the second you click "pay" and received FSPs for the donation. Tough Luck! If I read correctly Varkaz told you to ask for it back(?). That's the most hilarious part of this story...I'm out $40 because of his stupid little games and he won't send back my RoRD either.

Make sure the deal is made within FS and take screenshots when it is done.
Next step. Await the xmas FSP to be paid out.
If you get the FSP agreed upon from the other part, your ears are gonna be red.
If not, submit a ticket, claim it to be a scam, attach the screenshot (hope you either have made it, or still can). What I have gathered so far is, that the moo moos frown upon this type of scammers, so they'll take the already sent item away from the other part and return it to you, and a ban is most likely to happen as well on said character.
He/she can threaten with lawyers all he/she wants. He/she is not paying for any service, but donating to the game (states that quite clearly on the payment page)... and if you have a screenshot of the deal made, and you state you'll send one item now, the rest when paid - he/she has no case at all.
I get that you were happy selling the items and earning some FSP, and now feel cheated - but be calm about it, and handle it as I suggest above.
No one can deny that we changed this game and influenced it in such a way that NO ONE could compete with us.. so much so that they changed the rules. ~Abhorrence, chosen founder of Cerulean Sins

Troll somewhere else Maryann. I'm not your buddy, or any other pejorative term you attempt. Believe what you want. You've never been the sharpest. Being "out $40" translates to a donation of 250 FSPs. If that's what she's "out" then I'm a FS millionaire!! I'll take a check please... As much as she has lost anything, she's out nothing in real life dollars that wasn't spent already!!@ luis ya buddy i believe that means shes out $40...donation whatever still $40 spent...not data bud...hope it works out hbklives..dont trust people thats all i can say
