Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, I was selling a bulk of about 1700 tickets in the marketplace, and I guess someone saw my tickets, donation items (which are cheap... razz ) and tried to scam me.

This is the very first scammer attempt I have ever recieved. Quite frankly, I am very flattered. I didn't think I'd ever get "rich" enough for someone to want to scam me. Anyways, I am a subscriber to Zenia Wulfe, and I love her approach to these things. So I followed it and I hope she doesn't mind:

AND HERE IT IS!
