Scammer profiles: GlobalAction | Sell & Trade Game Items | OSRS Gold | ELO (sythe.org) and Meno | Sell & Trade Game Items | OSRS Gold | ELO (sythe.org)

Amount scammed: 1700M 07 gp (510$)
Discord ID: meno#4067 - 1015961076698980413 and globalaction#4929 - 993740406221185095
Proof of discord: Imgur: The magic of the Internet // Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Explanation of the trade: I was about to sell 07 gold to Meno. However, Meno told his friend GlobalAction wanted to buy the golds instead. I started chatting with GlobalAction on discord and we agreed 5700M 07 GP for 0.30$/M.
I verified his profile and got confirmation of the discord chat via GlobalAction on sythe.

Other relevant trade screenshots:
imgur.com My friend JohnMarket have made a deal with him before, and the globalaction account matches (Jul 05, 2022)
imgur.com shortly after the scam, he changed his Sythe profile Discord Unique ID.
imgur.com He also blocked and removed me from friends. You can see on this picture its the same account (05 Jul, 2022, with common other Sythe traders as mutual friends)


Sorry for bad english and somewhat bad explanations. But I just wanna warn others that they dont fall the scams of Meno and GlobalAction scamming scene.

 

Hi @fako123,

Could you send a screenshot of the confirmation PM you received?

 

Hello!

Seems like Fako123 was scammed by an imposter, below is my conversation with both Fako and the imposter. (Phaco1, no image is the impostor, Phaco1 with the image is the real individual).

As you can see the conversations are compeltely different, for instance I offered to buy for 0.28/m.

Below is the Confirmation PM's I sent to Phaco; (In one of the PM's I included my UID)

In regards to you claiming I changed my Discord Unique ID, this is something Sythe staff can check and verify that I did infact not change my UID, always has been the same. 678659872706920448

I'm sorry to hear you we're scammed, once I started to realise you might be speaking to an impostor I sent you 2 PM's via Sythe to warn you not to trade the gold over, though sadly I was too late.

It's always sad to see people get scammed by impostors and I feel for you, I send my UID when doing Sythe PM confirmations, but I might start including the osrs username that you should trade the gold over to in order to hopefully reduce the chance impostors scamming.

Regards,
GlobalAction

I have to admit that the person involved in the scam is doing it very professionally. They are making it difficult to find evidence that could prove their guilt.

 

Hello Fako123!

I've never dealt with JohnMarket.

Would you be able to copy and paste the UID from that conversation? You'll be able to see that it's a different UID from mine.

Regards,
GlobalAction

Kindly re-check the timings of Sythe confirmation of yours and our Discord chat.
Today: #1 - Mar 23, 2023 at 1:09 PM - you gave me an confirmation on Sythe of us talking at Discord.
On the video, we did not talk on Sythe at all During Mar 23, 2023 at 1pm ~ We indeed we're talking yesterday.
How come you gave me an false and misleading confirmation then on Sythe that I'm talking to you?

 

[fako123]

Edit:March 23th, 2:55pm.

I'm re-checking our conversations.
You can see on real-time GlobalAction is deleting messages to hide the evidence.

@fako123 unfortunately you were scammed by an imposter.
Both the globalaction and meno Discord accounts are imposters.

This was a so called 'man in the middle' scam. You were talking to an imposter and the imposter had a second account that he contacted the real Globalaction on. This lead to Globalaction sending you a confirmation PM on Sythe. You can see this when checking his side of the conversation: imgur.com
Please check the UID before trading next time, as this can prevent scams like these.

@GlobalAction the confirmation PM you sent was not great. You did mention the subject, your UID and copy pasted a part of the conversation. Because of this, you won't receive a TWC. However, make sure to familiarize yourself with sending better PM's: [Important] Confirm who you are speaking with on Discord!

@fako123 I'm sorry for your loss.
