Hi all.. For some funny reason, I knew that this would happen! I was scammed of 10million neopoints on Sunday. I feel so damn frustrated cause' I made my money legit from my point of view. I hope that the mods can do something about it. What happened was, (twxlegend) wanted to buy 50million neopoints from me at 300USD but I told him that we can only do 10million a week cause' I don't want my account to be iced and he agreed to that. Since he's residing in the same country as me, I asked for his handphone number but he refused. I can understand that because of privacy matters. I asked for his MSN and he told me that he doesn't use MSN and asked me to do the trade and message through PM. When I asked him to transfer the cash via Paypal, he told me to send the neopoints over first cause' he has been scammed before and he doesn't want that to happen and furthermore, he's using REAL money to transfer. He also showed me screenshots on how "trustworthy" he was and that he did a couple of trades here too. Because he's level 2, I trusted him and I transferred the neopoints over to his account. Right after I transferred the neopoints to his account, he went offline in Neofriends and never came back. It's been 3 days already and I suspect that he left for another forum. He told me that he will immediately transfer the money over once he accepts the trade but after accepting it, he logged off and went offline. Can the mods do something about it please? I'm sick and tired of all this crap already.
wow, ive done several trades with him, and have had no problems, and you are like the third person to accuse him of scamming. sorry about your loss
Agree with ctm done trades with legend and had no problems either. But i am sorry to here you lost all that.
In all likeliness, he did a few legitimate trades first of all to build up a bit of a rep so that he could scam easier. I'm so sorry. I actually believed he was innocent when that other guy said he had scammed him. I guess he needs to be IP banned.
Sorry to hear this. I will look into it, but also, please take a look at this; http://www.neofriends.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4762 In all fairness, you were warned.
ouch 10mill >_<, be careful, trading with a stranger is a very risky thing to do. Think before u act.
I'm really sorry to hear that, Grunge. I know it's too late now, but if future buyers say that, maybe you should do something where they like pay a certain percentage of what they owe, you send them the np, and then they pay the rest. There really isn't much else people can do to aviod situations such as these. To whoever said "think before you act" though, it's kinda hard to do so on a forum where everyone is essentially a stranger to one another.
Thanks for quoting. I get the following: ...actually, in retrospect, I think it probably links to the buy/sell forum? To which I do not yet have access. Which would explain it. I thought perhaps it was a Forum Rules about everything being at your own risk, etc... I just wanted to check.
Exactly. Sorry about that, I guess I should have just quoted it as well for those of you that don't have access to that forum yet. :roll:
You shouldn't sell neopoints and what not unless its to trusted members, and atleast have been here for a month.
He's been here for a month and he had clean trades. So he was trusted, I guess he fooled a lot of us.
That's terrible, considering you didn't do anything wrong since he had a fine reputation at the time. I think you acted as any of us would... Oh well, he'll get that's coming to him.
Hi all.. I guess it alright.. At least, we all can learn from this through my experience.. Haha.. I am still pissed off cause' another 2 million was given by my friend as he wanted the money too.. I have not broke the news to my friend.. Anyways, this is 1 of the many replies he sent me.. This was to "prove" that he is a trustworthy person.. Well I've been buying and selling since some time ago when you first PMed me about selling NPs, and to date I've made about 10mil nps and 50SGD profit. I used to be addicted to MS, but when some of my friends got banned, I soon lost interest and sold everything I owned in MS, and with the cash bought neo stuff. I mainly buy then resell for a higher profit, however some items which I really fancy I still own them, or wait for prices to shoot up before selling. It's really fun=) I'm a member of several other neocheat sites and have since done some deals like such, and I have the following screenies, the first with me buying an account with a strong BD pet, the rest reselling other items I bought.^_^ Besides I know all my accs are probably gonna be iced one day, so I might as well make as much as I can while I'm able to. I've been here so long, got to know almost every active member and my reps can also show that I can be trusted. I have no idea how to pay via POSB though, so you have to tell me how, I usually use paypal, yup sporeans also can sign up one, I use my bro's credit card to put money there, plus more money coming in chinese new year!!! http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/664/ ... ep1el0.png http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3788 ... ep2dl7.png http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/1728 ... ep3vc2.png
