Watch out for this scammer...
 
This was mentioned in the other thread about lvramire being hacked...

i just thought i'll make a post of it... anyway~

Some guy claims that they're selling Vitality T2 Scroll Recipe...

but in fact, this is a fighter skill (i believe)...

Weird thing is, this skill doesnt actually say that its for fighters... (where as Vitality 01 does)

so look out! This one actually says the level requirement is 30... if u're familiar with recipes.. you should know that the requirement is never a lvl, but your production experience...

here's a screenie to make things more "visual"

Added: Uruga Scroll for 7s... but it's selling Elderine & Roumen Scrolls...

I see so many vitality scrolls [2] in town now also on the Bijou server. Someone definitely got that from the previous post on these forums. Damn scammers.

I saw a person selling it for 150s in front of Kyle the storage guy. 2 hours later, I see a person selling it for 400s. I wonder if some guy made the 150s and tried to scam someone else with an even higher price... Hey, should we make a list of people in different servers so that everyone can be aware of them?

I've seen many scams, this, and the uruga scroll scams as well.

Hyper 12-10-2007 08:57 AM

Its been going on for a few weeks.

Some idiots spent 300s on a fake scroll! TWO OF THEM!

Man, I'd kill to be the scammer who got 600s.

Hessah 12-10-2007 09:03 AM

oopz just realise i wrote what out, instead of watch out in title... -corrected-

not sure if its necessary to make a list of people.... since they keep coming! and people dont really look at the vendor's name.. (well at least i dont keke)

its probably sufficient to point out what not to buy...? maybe... keke

EDIT: yeah i've been eyeing for the fake scroll for a while.. until i came across this cheaper one.. and i was actually considering it! so yeah..

Enraya 12-10-2007 10:24 AM

Apparently these scams have been coming up everywhere ...

People are so fired up about seeing a Vitality 2 Scroll that they just buy it without looking through it carefully ...

Well, I'm glad that these are actually being pointed out so that less people will trip over them ^^ If enough people ignore the shops, they'll eventually close down, and what a relief to everyone that will be >__<"

Fr0Z3nWind 12-10-2007 10:31 AM

watch out for some people with purchase store buying items at lower then npc price like 1c too
i seen a shop buying 3rd grade(green box) and sliver lumps for like 50c <- 3rd grade and 500c <- for lumps

pepper22 12-10-2007 11:00 AM

Just thought I would add this is just not a problem on your servers. I have only been playing this game for a week now and I have been seeing this on our Korean servers as well.

Fr0Z3nWind 12-10-2007 11:15 AM

i just came back from dinner at saw the person bought 14 sliver lumps for 500c
>< he earned 7s

Yosei 12-10-2007 05:51 PM

Someone buying silver lumps for 500c isn't really a scam.

Spirit 12-10-2007 06:02 PM

Most people are careful how they word things in their stores so they can claim that they did not false advertise. However, this person is blatantly advertising it as the actual scroll production scroll. Could this not be reported?

Yosei 12-10-2007 06:09 PM

The reall skill says Vitality Scroll.

.o0O0O0o. 12-10-2007 06:14 PM

Urgh! To think i almost bought 1 the last time around... Glad i didn't! Scammers are the dirtiest of dirt...

Yosei 12-10-2007 06:16 PM

Yeah.. my friend was begging me to buy him one the other day, and then he'd pay me back later. I kept telling him it was a scam.

Zwivix 12-10-2007 06:25 PM

Lol, he probably got mad at you cause he didnt believe you and thought you were being mean, right?!

Yosei 12-10-2007 06:45 PM

No, he was just bummed I wouldn't give it to him lol.

Zwivix 12-10-2007 06:48 PM

Aww I would have thought you were being mean and wanted to keep it for yourself.

You should have bought it and see his face when he couldnt use it. And then he would have to pay you back ^^

Hessah 12-17-2007 09:18 AM

Just saw this today... Uruga Scroll for 7s?!?!

Noooo... is Elderine and Roumen scroll!

Enraya 12-17-2007 10:16 AM

=____=
Apparently we're all dumb idiots who don't know how to read what's in front of their face. Most of us anyways, enough to believe in this now Uruga scam.
I hate scams like this.

a.L 12-17-2007 11:12 AM

That's just low.

Xylem 12-17-2007 12:10 PM

I've seen the Uruga scam waaay before the vitality scroll recipe scam.

Enraya 12-17-2007 12:13 PM

But still ...
That's just so cheap! Who'd wanna spend money they earned this way!? D=

Yosei 12-17-2007 04:33 PM

Well.. they'd have that skill, or well, they'd think they do. They could make Vit 2 scrolls which can sell for 1.2s+ and could ultimately get you more money.

Hessah 12-17-2007 09:50 PM

sometimes ppl like me gets a bit zombie-ised (blame it on the long day at work XD) and we dont look properly before we buy... so just giving people some warning so its in the back of their mind that something's probably fishy there... XD

Yami 12-18-2007 02:51 PM

I got myself scammed by someone doing the uruga thing. I noticed the guy above him was selling Roumen scrolls instead of uru ones, just didn't notice the elderine ones in the other >.<

Spirit 12-18-2007 03:00 PM

ZOMG!! That is my store. Great advertisement for me!!! Cuz I really do only charge 100c for my Vit. T1 scrolls.

HellsGeneral 12-18-2007 05:03 PM

Outspark annouced a couple days ago that if you PM them in their forums with scammers and screen shots they will get banned.
