[Impostor scammed]

[Big Boss]

Full Sythe name of scammer: AprilGoldenStore

Approximate value of scam: ~400$ USD (558m OSRS gold)

Method of scam: Take currency in one game (PoE) and not pay up in the other game (OSRS)

Quick series of events: So I was selling AprilGoldenStore my 1000 exalted orbs on Path of Exile standard server for 558m OSRS gold, as confirmed by him on skype. He confirmed his identity by messaging me on Sythe, and so I went ahead with the trade. Afterwards, he simply never replied.

You'll need to right click their skype profile and take a screenshot of their skype name.

@Big Boss
Unfortunately you traded an impostor, the real @AprilGoldenStore's skype is: aprilgoldenshop

In the PM @AprilGoldenStore sent you, he sent a code: 2558. You didn't receive this code in your chat above, as bad of a PM this is from April, this should have been enough for you to realise you weren't talking to the right person.

@AprilGoldenStore
I've issued you a TWC for that poor PM. A correct PM should include your skype, the buyer's skype name, as well as a copy/paste of your conversation. Had you sent a correct PM, this situation may have been avoided.
