Scam?

Next time hire juntsie. Also what was the guys name.

So you gave him the 100k without trading it for the Bp?

Why would you release the 100k without the BP in your hands?

I think people are missing the 2:57am edit in the original post where he said "I only told them to send him tells since I was in EC auctioning so I have no cash".

So basically, new guy would say "WTS a, b, c" and when people expressed interest he told them to contact the mystery man ("MM") with the BP. My guess is MM would then login his EC alt and sell the items and get the cash himself. So like Thulack said, he was used by MM so that MM could exp or do whatever while getting new guy to hawk his wares in EC. No money ever changed hands.

The old rule applies here as on RL. "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is" thingy. You got scammed plain and simple. Lesson learned I hope. Dirt Bags on here just as in RL. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Worse here and on the internet in general. Someone might be a cool dude in RL but be a complete ass here cause they don't care and know that nothing is going to come of them in RL for their actions. If the internet wasnt Anon 90% of the stuff on it wouldnt get posted.

looks like he was in EC advertising for the other guy. the tells were sent to the seller not him. he received no items to sell and therefore no money

Basically he wasted his time advertising for someone else that was off having fun

I did miss that. It is a fine line scam I guess. It more so comes down to ethics and morals. If anything I would of asked for a retainer. I think you can chalk this up to a life lesson and don't do things for free or do it with the intention that you won't be compensated.
