I just got scammed by the most brilliant scam ever lol

Post by [SD]Twysta »

ok so i was trying to sell some of my weapons in a global

and then after a few pms , this guy pms me and he says he will copy it, and give me 500 mill for it.

so i'm like, ah, ill just have a laugh and see what skills he has in scamming.

he asked me to follow him just outside of hotan, and he said to me;

open a stall, put 50 potions for 500mill in it, then open it and register in stall network, so i did, then he said, click modify, and put your bow (42+7 bow) for 1 gold. and after 2 minutes of serious thinking, i was like, hmmm he cant buy it if its on modify? right? so i put the bow for 1 mill, and it said it coulnd't register it in stall network in the bottom right message log.

so i thought hm.. now what? i was like this is as far as i go and i closed stall and walked away.

after a few seconds he was standing behind me at storage and traded me, he showed me my bow, lulz, it was litterally a copy of mine, my bow was still in my inventory..
i know copying a weapon sounds like complete bullshit, but he really did it, honest to god.

Well yea so i was gonna go grind and i tried to equip my bow, i couldn't.

WTF!?@#!?#!@#!@#! OMG WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT so yea 2 seconds later my monkey unsummoned and im like "oh crap, this is going wrong"

i dc'd, went back ingame, and yupz, bow was gone.

i do realize this is my fault
After a few minutes of talking to him, i managed to buy it back for 23 mill, lol. and he gave me another 3 mill afterwards after lots and lots of ":(" smileys :P

It's more obvious then god that it was a turk ,but there is no need to discriminate that in any of the following posts.

Did any1 know this trick?

JM put up that stalling scam notice when the massive hacking exploit thing was going on i guess the majority of people were to focused on the exploit :P

Kudos to you for taking responsibility of your own actions against the scam, not many people would put up a happy face and actually acknowledge the fact that i was their own fault after they got scammed :D
