Amount scammed: 10.1 LTC or Payment for
Discord ID + Unique Discord ID: Vea (934317213257699369) Trending (1097293344801050796)

Explanation of the trade: (I have all of this recorded via OBS if needed)

I was selling 25B Osrs for 0.14/mill. The total would have been $3500 via LTC which at the going rate would have been 42.06 LTC Total.

I opened a ticket in "Trending Gold" which is the discord linked from Trending 07 OSRS services. I traded the gold over via PVP deaths.
I died for 2.5B, they paid 4.2 LTC.
I then died for 6b and they paid 9.24 LTC.
I then died for 5.5B and the person handling the ticket (Vea) went offline for 30 minutes. When they came back, they said discord had logged them out. They also no longer wanted to buy GP "As the price was going down" Because they had previously agreed to buy it all, they now put my account at risk for RWT with my gold still on it.

How they scammed:
I told Vea after waiting an hour that I would just like to be paid the rest of my LTC and I would go elsewhere for the remaining GP. Vea offered few words and told me to "Please wait". I calculated the remaining LTC owed as ~10.1 (prices change but that is close enough).

Fast forward ~2 hours, and magically my ticket in their server is closed (and all of my non-recorded proof to boot - good thing I took videos via OBS) I'm now in a "new" ticket where they are offering to buy my remaining 11b. However - I have yet to be paid the remaining LTC for the original trade.

Regardless if they pay or not - I find this trade practice incredibly scummy. I am fairly certain they attempted to scam me as the ticket deletion and subsequent re-creation would entirely have removed any evidence I had that payment was due.

Had a little hope since he said he'd pay on 06/04, however he's been online multiple times since and refuses to reply.

@Trending and @Vea have each received a 90 day ban and will remain DNT'd for the debt of $770 (5.5b 07 at .14/m) owed to @Shockingly

@Trending @Vea once the debt has been repaid, you will need to request a pardon to return to the market.


@Shockingly I am sorry for your loss.
