[Z is a G]

All I know is, if someone tries to take my IRL money that I worked so hard to get, I might just fucking freak out.


$1,000? I'll cut your finger off.

$10,000? I'll cut your throat.


End of story.

I remember 4-5 years back on sythe, there was nothing known as imposter, nothing called 'scam', but as the time goes away, people gets ****ed in their minds hard. I believe there could have been nothing known as OMM/MM earlier, but Scammer Virus (SC- 41) has been spreading rapidly.

I am myself tired of scammers. I can't even trust a 50-100 vouches guys, because I still remember the way I was scammed.

4-5 years ago?
You joined in Feb 2011. I highly doubt you were just browsing this site for 4-5 years before you decided to make an account.
I request an IP check lol.

OT, yes. Many scammers, they have nothing to lose if its over gold(rsgp)

 

[kblade51]

Stop trying to present yourself as a legitimate person, vader (and probable scammer).

 

[Runit3hunt3r]

5 years ago on sythe there was no imposters or scammers?

If you know what you are doing and you are not a dumb ass you will NOT get caught. I can teach any kid with any level of intelligence on how to stay anonymous and how to get the most out of it. It is not hard. Staying anonymous is the easiest part. If you actually think karma strikes back you are wrong. There is ways to rake in 1000$ of dollars a day just by scamming. All profit. No one is going to find you if you know what your doing.

Really well, I liked how you explain it, it's something like a thing that cross people's minds.

However, one thing I know, is that I trade here because I wanted to trade for virtual items that I needed and trade away things I no longer need, and usually I can spot a scammer when I see one, just like you said, "Desperation", they act so desperate and want it fast. Just like those "Selling full dragon 3m must accept fast", those types.

From my personal experience, I've been scammed a few times, but not a huge amount, because I'm probably cautious, but like everyone else says, not everyone who was scammed would turn into a scammer, good people with good minds, like me, hehe, won't turn into one, I just like trading and seriously, why scam? It's a crime and there should be cops who specialize at internet crime and bust all the scamming kids.

I remember a guy was captured by the police scamming RS accounts? Reference came from rsgold or some site like that. So good fight scammers.

I believe the answer to your question is "free stuff". I think you should also be IP checked for being a vader

I got scammed on another site about a year ago and back then there was a method to find their backup email address which lead me to his actual email and facebook. I ended up sending him a facebook message and now that I actually knew where he lived and knew who he was, he made a massive apoligy and gave the stuff back (Probably because I was going to email his parents about it).

The main reason why these kids scam is that they think they are anonymous. They think that shit won't come back to them and it will (If I'm scammed). Scammers need to actually get in trouble for shit, not just a ban from sythe.

Scammers don't feel guilt because they don't actually know you. They are generally fat little 12-14 year olds that think they can get away with anything and scamming gives them power.

I don't believe you've heard of a VPN, have you?

I can teach people how to have a life, worth a lot more then a thousand bucks a day.

Not only that, but I know for a fact that Sythe was never this haven of trustworthy traders that everyone's portraying it to be. It's ALWAYS been crawling with kids trying to scam people, it's just that with free trade there are a lot more than usual.

And well... scammers get money from scamming. I doubt it's about power or revenge, they're just selfish people who are protected by the internet.

Also, this is the exact reason we shouldn't allow luring guides/lure planning on sythe. It attracts the kind of lowly person who's likely to scam other sythe members. How can we complain about getting ripped off through sythe trades when discussion of how to scam people in-game is perfectly within the rules of the site? It's no different from stealing someone's RL money.

 

Why would they scam? Pretty obvious, to earn items/money that does not belong to them.
