    Default Have you ever been scammed?

    Have you ever been scammed while playing an MMO or other online game?

    A few years back I was pretty good friends with this guy in Diablo 2. One day he asked me to send him some file from my install because he said his was corrupted. As it turns out it had my account name and password on it and I was robbed blind. Eventually though I got his password through one of his friends who was sick of his shady ways and I took screenshots of me killing his character (we played hardcore mode).

    A few times... nothing really serious though. Just some money or a runescape account I got back after a day (empty though).

    Besides that, tons of people have tried but I have grown the wiser. :P

    My brother used to play MMO's just for the sake of scamming people, and man he was good at it. He had millions of gold in whatever games he played @_@

    D2 moments are so fun.. once i made a iron golem out of a god father sword someone dropped from the other side

    As far as I can remember, I haven't. I did scam myself once though. I would go buy tons of bandanas from Payon and walk over all the way to Prontera, give them to my brother and he would sell them there. I accidently traded with some one else and gave him all the bandana's for free.

    and right after we left town he summoned a fire devil and kill my friend while i barely escaped i tried to help but he was to strong....

    Never been scammed, but i have scammed back when i was evil and loved all things hacking, viruses, scamming.

    see what u gotta do is become good friends with them and let them earn ur trust. then when they ask u to help "mule" something...u kno. or u just wanna "try out" one of their weapons...yea. some ppl are so dumb. most of it was done on T4C i think. even made some fake scamming websites that worked with a few ppl lolz. bad boy
