Got Scammed, Want Reimbursement

[th3thrilld3m0n]

I gave Kles R575 for a stack of diamond, he gave me a single diamond named "64 Diamond"
I think, although a prank, that when dealing with diamond this should be fixed. Either I want the R575 back or I want what I really paid for.

These kind of scams should not be allowed...

Much like Adrian said, "you will not be liked for it".

Now, also noted there isn't a rule against scams, HOWEVER they are of most undesired nature since they bring distrust to people and then other folk will try to emulate such behavior causing a general dislike in player trades.

No, it is not Illegal to do this. No I do not want this to be repeated again.

If I do find out that something like this is repeated I will take personal action on the matter.

Also worth noting/mentioning, Adrian never approved of it. He simply stated that there wasn't a rule against it. Stating the rules as they are and giving approval are 2 different things.

just a quick two cents on my part here. This is why I advise always using the selling systems RenMX has in place. To prevent things like this from happening. I am not saying never player trade anymore but when buying 64 Diamonds VS. 1 Apple I would highly stress using the Quick shop or the other sign plug in there is for the Higher Priced Items, And keep in mind there is also the Auction House. Be a Smart Buyer, Know your options and protect yourself from being scammed. Now on the Scam'er issue I think renaming items to make them seem like something else to fool another player and to make a profit on it should be against the rules. It is 1: Completely Wrong, the person knows what they are doing it's premeditated. 2: Knowingly it will start fights over the situation in chat on forums and through pm's leading to more people joining in.
Now I am not saying you can't sell named items I seen once someone came up with a clever idea of renaming food like chicken and Steak to clever food names like Deep Fried Chicken etc. Or even weapons as long as they are not player aimed insults like such and such is a asshat. But Naming a Item a Stack and and saying I want to sell a stack of such and such and the player putting trust that person. It makes it hard for players to trust each other and it's bad for the community. As for Kles and the screenshot. Posting personal pm's from a staff member and twisting them to seem like they are agreeing with you to prove your own actions is wrong. I would advise you to think before you do it again.

Kles you are sinking to my level!! Wouldn't recommend unless you can take a lot of hate. Ask me if you need advice.

Wuell, you said you would give him a stack, not 64 diamonds
