Graalians - View Single Post - Guide- Taking Scamming into your own hands

BEH0LD iTz SAM · 03-08-2012

Ok this isnt a major guide so i didn't put it in the guides;

How to not be scammed
1. First off the big nono is donot drop first, almost always you'll be scammed if you do that.
2. Try not to trade very often unless you need too, if it sounds too good to he true it probably is.
3. Try find someone you know and trust to trade with, makes it alot easier.

Peters Advice :3
If someone asks you to drop the item in a SPECIFIC spot even in your own house, don't listen. Drop it somewhere else. I witnessed someone attempting to scam by telling him to drop an item in a specific spot (in your own house) and he keep insisting on it, so it's an obvious scam.

Their tricks
Usually scammers have little tricks, the obvious one which youd have to be pretty drunk todo is to trade first in their house, theyll kick you.
But the dangerous one is when they ask for 2invites. If you invite someone and they ask for another invite always tell them to relog first, to delete the first invite.
Make sure you do this because what they do is when they are locked up, and you drop the item, they use the 2nd house invite to go in and collect your item.

How to take authority into your own hands
Ok this is the part i was getting at. I was recently scammed, but i managed to get my item back, so i made this guide to help you guys too. So as most will know admins cannot deal with scammings, so we have to deal with it ourselves. Im assuming most of the people reading this have an account on graalians.
So what i did- i was scammed, so i continued to follow him, not getting all angry and swearing (dont do that makes you look bad) simply saying warning he and his gang are scammers. So i followed him for about 10mins doing this. Also if scammers are known, people will lookout for them, so this is important for them. Now i know this sounds cheesy but it works, basically i threatened to "dob him in" or expose his name, look and guild on graalians for all to see and avoid. Almost assoon as i explained to him what graalians was he invites me to his house and i got my item back

. So he doesnt change name, check message history and add him so that if he doesnt give your item back, you can "ruin" his business and expose him whenever his name changes and remove when your victorious.

Thanks for reading and i hope this helps people get their rares back, and avoid being scammed in the future. Also once again don't bother pming staff to help you with a scammer because they cannot do ANYTHING about it. Btw first guide so plz dont hate.
