Yeah, I’m not going to lie, I got scammed. Use e-bay people. Don’t trust the forums! Flamers welcome, but I’m not going to reply.
That said, I’d like to compile a list of scammers. Feel free to post anyone you know that’s scammed.
KNOWN SCAMMERS:
REMOVED

Funny, I think I just got scammed. Meh, I needed to get rid of that stuff anyways.
Forums are never a safe place, unfortunately.
ebay is always good - you can review previous seller feedback, and if selling, receive payment before sending codes. Safe and simple.
Yeah, this forum seems to be chock full of untrustworthy people.
You got that right, guys. I’ll never trade with anyone here again.
EDIT: Does anyone here know how to add a poll? I want to see how many people have been scammed.

I know, but my friend traded here and he didn’t get scammed. That’s what annoys me.
Pleas. Remove tw names in that list, pointin out people like that is against the rules.
That said, traders beware.
I was going to trade with someone and give them my code first but then i chickened out. I hope they don’t think I lied to them.

A forum rule says so - And erickyboo is a moderator.
Never trade anyone online unless you know 100% it is legitimate. Nobody takes responsibility for your failure to follow the netiquette tips.

It doesn’t say he is. And if that is a rule, I call BS. People should be aware of these scammers, so it doesn’t happen again.

Did I say anyone takes responsibility? No. I’m not taking it out on the community, simply stating my thoughts is all. No need to go on making assumptions.

It must be this rule that applies to this thread.

Well, the forums have not been a positive experience for me at all. And I’m not harassing anyone, or posting anything unlawful or threatening. This post is meant to be helpful. How am I detracting from the community? I haven’t attacked anyone. It clearly says my opinion is welcome.

^ This. I will never understand why it’s against the rules to point out these people, who clearly take it upon themselves to con those of us who actually have decency and integrity.

Thank you. At least someone understands me.
I feel for you, but at the same time, that is exactly why the official trade thread was shut down.

Yes. I understand that now. I was so foolish, and yet I wanted to trade so badly. The worse thing about it is that I can’t do anything to fix it. Oh well, at least I have this thread… until it gets locked or shut down most likely.
