View Full Version : Horizon: Scammed me out of $250 (MSPP)

Well, I have participated in two trades today on this site.

One, was to buy a MSPP (TCG) from Mike for $250. The second one was to lend the MSPP to Horizon, for approximately 10m NP payment.

It seems that this second transaction has left me shortchanged by quite a bit. Even using Mike as a middle-man, they managed to steal the TCG.

I really don't know what to think at the moment. Gutted, obviously.

-dies-

Real sorry man! I'm really pissed off... she was so clever and fast.
I entered her account changed the info, logged off, sent the mspp to that account, got the av, sent the Sword and when I clicked on the the MSPP, I got an error and when I refreshed the page it was gone and She had logged off of MSN.

Since it was me whom was in the middle I'll fix this up some how :/

If you changed the pass, how did she log o.O?

Hmm well that sucks... First scam of clarik

Mike
12-17-2011, 02:21 AM
I don't know, still trying to figure that out...

Yup...

I wouldn't have done this under normal circumstances, I just thought it would have been a chance to help the site get to its feet with a few successful trades, and a bit of trust between members.

Obviously, I'm highly disappointed in how that ended up.

I dont think its good to trade now, just wait for a while and then trade , see the active members, because right now everyone has 0 posts all are equal no one knows whos a scammer and whos reaaally trustworthy.

Mike
12-17-2011, 02:32 AM
Yup...

Well, resolved my side, gave him my UC Plushie Zafara as a sorry, I failed to be a MM.

Shichibukai
12-17-2011, 02:35 AM
BTW Did you change the email when you changed everything else?

Shichibukai
12-17-2011, 02:36 AM
Did you also Log out? Because if you dont log out then the other user will already be signed in and then could do anything

Inq
12-17-2011, 02:40 AM
No, he didn't do either as far I know. I don't blame him, though, he hasn't really done this before. I asked him to do this at short notice.

Harry Potter
12-17-2011, 02:40 AM
Also.....you guys show know who is mmaning for you.

You can ask me or reese, he is a known trusted member.

Shichibukai
12-17-2011, 02:42 AM
Oh :(
Well thats the reason then I guess
If he didnt change email the person could have done Forget Password anytime he likes
and If he didnt log out then he could transfer the Item anytime he likes as he wouldnt be logged out

So, it was 100% Pinned, she pinned for the safety, of course, so I changed the pw real quick and logged off.
Sent the MSPP, logged back it got av, sent the sword(the payment for av) and when I clicked on the MSPP, it was gone.
And she had logged off of MSN.


Was just trying to be nice, they requested me to MM, accepted to be nice for the site and all... And I learned never will MM again.

Mike
12-17-2011, 02:44 AM
Neither of you were online, so they requested me.

Shichibukai
12-17-2011, 02:45 AM
You can MM, just learn how to do it.
If you dont change email then its useless to change the password :(

Mike
12-17-2011, 02:46 AM
it was even less than 50 seconds, it was so fast....

Harry Potter
12-17-2011, 02:47 AM
I wasn't saying anything against you q:

I was referring to the general public lol

Shichibukai
12-17-2011, 02:48 AM
Why were you doing it so fast lol...
Just do it slowly xD

Mike
12-17-2011, 02:48 AM
Okay, well, gave him my WN UC Plushie Zafara as a sorry for failing.

Sorry once again, gotta get going. cya around...

Shichibukai
12-17-2011, 02:49 AM
Byee... He forgave you so its fine :)
Just learn about MMing before doing it again

Mike
12-17-2011, 02:50 AM
Why were you doing it so fast lol...
Just do it slowly xD

So it wouldn't be suspicious in a way, right now for me to pin crack the account and get the Pin, would've had taken a while, do to I didn't have spare emails and didn't think of that atm.

I've been working with lends and this isnt how does this work... If the person doesnt has intention to scam, then you're fine, but if you do this and the user wants to scam, you're done buddy...

If you dont know what you're doing, you should say "no" or learn before to evade situations like this... Sorry for your lost :/

Thanks for the support, everybody.

My bank account is crying, but I'll be damned if I am. :P

also if anyone is in desperate need of a mm i have made a LOT of trades and i would do it. but mming is something that should probably be done through the official mms

GTO
12-17-2011, 09:46 AM
They probably did a password request to their email :/

Kad
12-17-2011, 09:55 AM
As someone said, this isn't the best time to trade.

Just wait a bit more or something.
Yes, I know i had a topic up, but i sold what i had to TRUSTED members.

John
12-17-2011, 10:21 AM
i try to deal mainly with well known members but sometimes cant help it

People should have seen this coming, or at least have been more careful. I'll work on our trades section today ASAP and get some middlemen for the forum.

Might introduce our rank system today.

They wanted to buy an mspp from me the past week or so.
They said they sent me an amazon gift card, but I never got it..

They also said they didn't have enough money to buy til after Christmas.

Sorry to hear about that :(
Idk how you got scammed with a MM, sounds like that MM didn't do their job x)

Cara
12-17-2011, 11:33 AM
I'm sorry this happened D:
I personally think big avatar lends should wait until Joe picks official middlemen.

OMG, how come we have a scam:/

Mike
12-17-2011, 12:07 PM
Easy, new sites attract new scammers

Ben

Don't worry. This won't be happening again :)

Yeah old scammers from HB will definitely stop by.....with vengeance lol.

next time you should just use two browsers (if you didn't already)

for more quickness..
always could file a ticket on neo and say someone stole it lol

Kylae
12-17-2011, 01:32 PM
Yeah, that's what I was wondering, why it seems only one browser was used.

(Hi 5252 :P)

Does that actually work?

Harry Potter
12-17-2011, 02:11 PM
^You can login into two different neo accounts at the same time using say ie and chrome, or three if you got ff

Kylae
12-17-2011, 02:21 PM
He probably means the ticket part, and at this time, I think you could actually get it back through ticketting, but it would just take over a month.

John
12-17-2011, 02:26 PM
he got me too

Kylae
12-17-2011, 02:32 PM
You got scammed too?

John
12-17-2011, 02:32 PM
yup, sowl gone

Mouse
12-17-2011, 02:35 PM
I agree with Shichibukai ... Serious trades might be a better idea to save up for when the forums are more serious. At this point it's just not clear enough yet. :(

John
12-17-2011, 02:37 PM
yeah for now i will only be dealing with people i knew previously

Ashleys165
12-17-2011, 02:37 PM
Wow I'm soo sorry to hear this, I guess with the new rep system trading will become safer though.

John
12-17-2011, 02:39 PM
yeah i guess its my fault, i had a wayyy better rep than him, but i went first because he said he was waiting on another trade to go through and i was in a rush and we had traded before so i thought it would be fine. my own stupid mistake i guess whatever

Mouse
12-17-2011, 02:40 PM
I'm not going to at all ... on the other forums I made a succesful trade on my old account, but seeing as I was quiet most of the time noone really knows who I am. Even tho I'm around for quite some time, lol. I'll wait till I see who I can trust here, and till I build up some myself.

Kylae
12-17-2011, 02:41 PM
Well, also alot of you know each other already from HB. I never went over to HB, so everyone's a stranger to me cept a select few from DZ, so everyone looks like stranger danger right now, lol.

Mike
12-17-2011, 02:41 PM
it happens...

John
12-17-2011, 02:43 PM
yeah ive had 150+ succesful trades that was my first scam oh well

Mike
12-17-2011, 02:45 PM
yeah ive had 150+ succesful trades that was my first scam oh well

First scam? wow! lucky you xD

John
12-17-2011, 02:48 PM
yeah im usually quite careful and on hb i had a rep where i never had to go first with anyone who wasnt completely trustworthy so i was good there

Mike
12-17-2011, 02:49 PM
^ you ever use MMs?

Cara
12-17-2011, 03:22 PM
^ Well, from today, sometimes MMs don't always work ;)
