Haven't gotten a scam yet, but I probably will soon.
Oh well, scammers are such idiots.

I would stand in line for this

The last one I got, I rambled about how much I hate onions.

Then the girl told me I was going to get banned for not giving her my password.

I typed back with large annoying font, "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT IN FRONT OF GOD!" then reported her.


that sounds pretty funny. i would have loved to see her face when you said that ^^
Wouldn't we all have? rofl

Hello. I'm a friend of Ryoko Tetsuya. I noticed that you reported her for "Attempted scamming" and her posts were deleted. May I ask exactly what happened between you and her?

Ah. Now I remember.

She posted a link in a friend of mine`s thread covered by a charity`s banner. However, when I hovered over it, the link ended up being malicous, capable of scamming users out of their accounts.

May I ask exactly what she said along with it?

Win Every MC?

Look, I`m just trying to bring down the number of scams on this site. She posted a link that would prove harmful to one`s account, and I acted upon it, as did the the rest of the thread`s lurkers of their own volition.

If you`re trying to accuse me of wrongdoing, then I`m sorry, but it`s not going to work. It was a scamming link, I reported it, a mod saw it and deleted the posts. Not much you can do about it. -shrug-

Based on what she's wearing, and how long she's been on this site, it would make sense if she were wearing more expensive objects on her avatar. If she really were a scammer, she wouldn't be so barren. if you really knew her, you would know that it would make more sense if she were hacked. She only frequented this site based on what I asked her to. As such, she never had much time on gaia before that. We call those people noobs. What do noobs do? This particular noob probably clicked on that very same "charity" that she posted on that thread.

I'm not accusing you of wrongdoing, because you didn't know her. But just because someone posts a scamming link it doesn't mean that they're a scammer. Some are obvious, but with the less obvious ones, it's more likely that they've been hacked and their accounts are being used for rulebreaking means.

In particular, she was given 100k by a friend of mine in exchange for some avatar art. I referred her to him, and what's likely is that the hacker took that gold and left the worthless items on her avatar to trick someone into second-guessing themselves.

An avatar covered with expensive objects should be seen as a scammer, one that is covered with noob gear should be seen as a botter, and the ones with cheap objects attached to them and have a unique look are either hacked, scammers that are using that as a main, or rarely bots.

There are many different conlusions based on what you knew, and the hardest was figuring she was hacked.

I know her well enough that she doesn't really care about gaia at all. She's smart enough to know that these are pixels.

Well I`m sorry that she got hacked.

But I`m pro-Terms of Service, and If I see a scamming link, I report it, and if need be, I mention it in a comment, and since whoever was behind that avatar decided to post the same link three times in a row, it needed to be brought to attention.

Please refrain from contesting this further and have a good evening.





I like how he said that an avatar dressed in n00b clothing posting scamming links should be considered bots. rofl
Last I checked, anyone posting a scamming link was considered a scammer. =/

Now that you mention it....

It doesn`t really matter.

She tried scamming. I reported her, she got banned.
Period end of story.

It really makes me laugh when some n00b from 2oo7 tries to tell me the Terms of Service when I`ve been around since late o5. lol

..... stressed ..... There are, count them, 2 things that are the bane of my existence on Gaia: Narutards, and Asstard scammers. But I'm here about the scammers.

I have taken it upon myself to make a public list of these baby raping epic fails of life called scammers in my journal. But I need your help MADG. Names. I need names. I must have the names of these asshats, so we all can publicly humiliate them and know not to even talk to them.

Please, pm me with the names of any scammer that you know of, and I'll put them up in my journal post haste.

Thank you.
