Scammer's profile link: CodyBanks
Amount scammed: Approximately $1494. Around $1025 for his own personal orders and $470 that the clients paid him that he has not paid the workers.
Discord ID + Unique Discord ID: Tryhard#2609 + 474799042275049494
Proof that it's their Discord: Already been posted here Plug Services - Cautionary Report
Explanation of the trade: Got paid from several clients and placed his own personal orders
How they scammed:
He placed several orders (around 15 accounts that personally belong to him) and took money from clients for orders that were finished or are still in progress and still have yet to pay the workers anything. The head of the workers (He goes by Itman) has been trying to contact him for a long time and he has not responded. One of the clients has also tried to contact him but he was blocked. I believe this is shown in the other thread (linked above) made by @Departure
Other relevant trade screenshots:
His conversations with Itman: imgur.com
An explanation of what happened:
Idk where to start tbh. Itman is a Venezuelan OSRS worker who worked for Tryhard AKA Codybanks. He is the head of the team of workers that previously worked for Tryhard.
I contacted itman after he completed services for me through tryhard to thank him. We chatted a bit and I was interested in knowing how he and tryhard met because I was also interested in starting my own service with my own vision. He then said he wanted to work together and I told him I'd think about it. After sometime I decided to give it a go and I started a server with him.
Tryhard was not happy about this. Itman had lied to him about working with me because I assume he was scared. I explained to Itman that this wasn't a nice thing to do and that he is free to work with whoever he wants as long as he is transparent with me. I simply asked him to not conduct any private deals for the safety of my server.
Quickly after this, my deal with itman fell through due to misunderstanding and he made some impulsive decisions that disappointed me. We had a falling out due to this and our partnership ended. I continued to build my server on my own and found other workers.
A couple of days ago Itman reached out to me and apologized for what happened and I decided to give him a second chance. It turns out that Tryhard hasn't been answering his customers and he up and left his own server. He left Itman in charge and Itman wanted to invite me to it to help him but I told him to explicitly ask Tryhard for permission first as I did not want to go on his server without his consent.
After taking over Tryhard's server, I told everyone that anyone with an existing order can move over to my server since Tryhard's server is effectively dead. And that I'll make sure to keep them updated since the same workers that were doing these services are my workers too. I even offered to let them carry over their current discounts and offered them free upgrades.
I have no ill will towards Tryhard. He seems to be angry at me because his workers changed jobs. I never asked them to stop working for him. They can work with whoever they please at anytime.
I am making this report on behalf of the workers since they are my workers and their previous boss hasn't paid what he owes the workers.
EDIT: The workers were instructed to place an email on Tryhard's personal accounts since they were not registered. They were told to only do that in case we don't hear anything. They were also told to not do anything with the accounts and simply secure them with an email until further instructions from Sythe admins regarding this dispute. This was done to try to salvage something in case he doesn't pay what he owes.
Let me clarify, Oracle OSRS Services does not have ANYTHING to do with Plug services/Tryhard's server. We simply share/shared some of the same workers. I am simply trying to make sure my workers get paid what they owed and their customers get what they asked for.
