Let me first say that I do Not want this responsibility. This is not vindication. I don't like drama, but suspect to get trolled for having posted this. However, I love this server and feel obligated to post. My hope is that the Devs will look into the IP associated with these characters and take action. Or at least to inform the community.

Below is the entirety of a conversation I had with Moneybagz aka Kreugar, when we agreed to MQ his 'Metal Pipe' from Chardok in exchange for 8k. (I believe the link he sent of 'A Metal Pipe' was a shared link of the one I had previously sent him.) Having delivered the platinum he went missing for 2 days and then the conversation continues. I did petition, as well as speak with several other players about the situation in the mean time. Included is a conversation with someone named "Kruegar" (note the switch of the u and e) to prevent misplaced accusations.

Following that is a conversation with another victim who was at that time trading with Moneybagz. I at first suspected this person, Vbard, to be Moneybagz. The reason for which was the proximity and movements of the characters during our conversation.

Everything is ordered chronologically. I have not heard from or seen Moneybagz or Kreugar since.

I clipped these screens and highlighted my tells to make it more presentable, but the full screens better indicate the passing of time and location of characters.

This kind of confused me. So the 60 Druid in TMO isnt the scammer? It's a guy who has a name like his and does the alt run-around? Half way through i thought the TMO Druid was the scammer

Guy tried to scam me out of a 40k item also.. said he was was Hhawk from full circle (the guild of the toon I was in) and wanted an item up front

Someone told me he was kruegan and I asked him, and he said he was kruegan from TMO.

He kept begging for the item up front so I ignored him.

This sucks, but for the love of god, can you make more than one text box?

And were you cybering with Buzzle?

This was such a fun read. For a minute I thought it was Kruegar too and I was like, "Omg that's my guildmate, but he seemed so nice. This is gonna explode all over RNF." Then I realized it was someone impersonating. Now all I'm left with is a burning curiosity about this Buzzle person.

WHAT WERE YOU WHISPERING TO BUZZLE? I can't stand it.

P.S. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever fall for the "money first, item's on an alt" thing. Never do it. Never. Ever. It's a scam. Every time. 100%. You're getting scammed. I can't believe I'm still telling people this in 2013.

Putting your plat into a trade window and clicking TRADE without the item you want on the other side of the window is like spending money on a girl that confides in you about how all the guys she sleeps with are jerks, how she wishes she could find someone nice like you to date, and constantly tells you how good of a friend you are.

Yep, Moneybagz's antics have been shouted through EC more than a couple times. Sorry to hear he is still taking advantage of people.

Don't trust anyone!

Don't deal with mules in EC. Had a mule tell me he was my guild leader (knew him by name, which isn't hard to do) and wanted me to give him 10k plat to log into his main to give me an item. Don't fall for that garbage people. Deal with a main, guilded character that isn't anon.

I can also make out "go big or go home". And bits and pieces of other sentences, seemed pretty "personal". This is the type of person that gets scammed.

Cry about it atleast you didn't lose an 80k item like a fungi to someone named auricon and the GMs tell you that you shouldn't have trusted anyone and its your own fault now stop petitioning just saying.......
