Hi! I'm New! :D

[DraonaDragon]

Well I am new, I came on here because I thought this would be a good start from where I was a while back

Anyways I think I have already made one bad trade with someone they were selling me a UC neopet and they said they would transfer... but they never did.. bringing my hopes up. I have mailed this person about 3 or 4 times about the subject, but no response! I am not sure what to do here... can I tell the name of this person or is this not allowed?

I don't know if you can name the person, and welcome to Sythe.

I would imagine you could, though. Edit: Guy below says you cannot name him =p.

Gather any evidence you can into the matter and make a proper report in Report a Scammer, making sure you follow the requirements of proof.

It's not allowed if you don't have proof.
If you DO have proof report them here: http://sythe.org/forumdisplay.php?f=253

Welcome to Sythe, wish you best of luck / Safe trading.
I suggest reading guides on how to prevent being scammed.

 

[DraonaDragon]

Thank you both so much! If this continues on I will gather what I have and send in a report, lol this would have been my first trade too (hopefully still is)

And thanks for the wlecome ^-^

Welcome to Sythe! Have a fun around to be!

 

[Alex_J_Leon]

Judging by the lack of responses, I'd say you've been scammed... just a hunch. So gather any applicable evidence and submit a report, and if you don't have any then I'm sorry but you're SoL =p.

 

[DraonaDragon]

Alrighty! I will try to gather as much evidence.. This is not really even fair XD I hope I learn not to trust certain people on here

If you can't trust someone, just use an (O)MM.
Have fun being here on the forums! : ]

That would be wise... I've done 2B+ in MMing on another forum and I never went first, so I never was scammed. I went first for the first time the other day, though =p. It's something <.>

Some helpful things... get a trusted free MM, google their e-mail (some people are dumb enough to constantly use the same e-mail for all their scams), look at determine the value of the vouches... etc.

 

[Lym]

If you're buying anything that's worth over like 50$ make sure you're using an OMM.

OR trading with someone that has 50+ vouches.

Also a good tip, always before doing a trade make sure you look at the person you're trading with's vouches. Make sure they have good quality, and quantity of quality.

 

[DraonaDragon]

unfortunately it says they have done 25 successful trades, and I thought.. hmmm this person can be trusted.. was I wrong.. thankfully it wasn't that much... but still.

YES @_@ I did not read this person's trade thread... in which the people are clearing defining this guy as a scammer It always happens to me lol

And may that be a lesson to you, better safe than sorry.
Read through first.

 

[DraonaDragon]

[imtoomuch4u]

Welcome to Sythe, and yes you have to be careful on this site.

 

[mill3n]

good. Watch out though, as most people are less trusted than they say.

 

[DraonaDragon]

I know.. I keep seeing a lot of people get banned for having fake vouches... so I do have to be careful :/
