it's not my policy lol
and I still don't see how anyone can get scammed in this game without it being their own fault.
Anyways, you can PM your friends in game or on here, and word does get around.

This is a fan site.
You can post names on the official boards, but this is just for people that enjoy the game.

well, i don't have many friends on the game or in here because i don't trust people obviously because of what happened, i apologize for typing the names, but those are the people and you need to watch out for. i'm trying to be nice about this and tell any other noobs like me to stay away. and no we don't enjoy getting scammed, i lost two a rank axes!!!

dude I can understand the trust issue with you but you just gotta find the right friends. for example me and another guy neaver met before but he helped me level, let me barrow some 50% weps, and gave me a single fuka claw.(cant remember real name sry) so there are some really kick azz people out there you just gotta weed them out of all the scammers. and on the note of you getting scamed i am sry for your lose again. (if your on the 360 version look for Cort and ill hook ya up man)

Think of this as a learning experience. Know how scammers get scammed and don't fall for it the next time.

THE JACKELWhich frankly, I think is stupid, but *shrug* I'm not staff. It should be allowable with enough proof.

That said... I really don't hold that much sympathy for people that get scammed. Carry your self with intelligence, or pay the price for your ignorance, I say. I don't condone scamming, but on the other side of the coin, I don't weep for the victims, either.

It's what people do to make their post stand out more, to inform users that 'Oh yeah, Jackel posted that' , incase of someone else that uses the same Avatar post frequently.

glad I got to see this before it is too late. But one question: was this on the 360 servers? or PS2/PC servers?

Well...I'm gonna guess 360 since he mentioned micro$oft up there earlier. though, I could be totalty wrong. =P

The primary problem in case like this is that no one outside the parties involved knows whether the accusation is true. I remember a few cases on PSO where people were accused of being scammers just to try to sully their names.

The best thing you can do in a case like this is just to report the people using the appropriate forms on the official site. The GM team will take it from there.
