Got scammed... is it illegal - atlantis2112 - 08-29-2009 Quote:Not really, I payed him, didn't die, didn't run. (He was an indie barghest pirate, I was an OC fighter) What RP did you use? Got scammed... is it illegal - cmfalconer - 08-29-2009 doesn't matter. If you pay a pirate and they kill you anyway, it's PvP abuse and sanctionable. Also, if you are pirated, run/dock and bring back another ship to engage said pirate, that's also against the rules and sanctionable. BOTH scenarios are wrong. Got scammed... is it illegal - Antiquity - 08-29-2009 what about if someone asks you to set your cashcode to "gift" so they can give you money... I know its dumb to do but there are alot of people who don't know what a cash code is... This happened to me when I was making a new character and the scammer assumed I was a new player and offered to give me money... He said he could only do it if I set my cashcode to "Gift". Anyone know if that is allowed or if its your fault for being stupid? Got scammed... is it illegal - Corsair - 08-29-2009 ' Wrote:Not really, I payed him, didn't die, didn't run. (He was an indie barghest pirate, I was an OC fighter) Give his name to the LR. They don't like indie Barghests.

Got scammed... is it illegal - Camtheman Of Freelancer4Ever - 08-29-2009 I think if you asked someone for a cargo transfer, from two characters at the same base and they took the stuff and ran, I think thats breakin a rule, not sure tho Got scammed... is it illegal - Malexa - 08-29-2009 ' Wrote:what about if someone asks you to set your cashcode to "gift" so they can give you money... Wow. That kind of pirate must have found the best way to make easy money! "Hey starflea, set your cashcode to "gift" so I can get your money. hahaha I am so brilliant. hahaha...uhm I mean so I can give YOU the money. hahaha.....hick yarrr!" Making 8000 credits per starflea should make him millionare in a year. Lets say half a year, if he desicovers half the way, that he just needs to make a new char to get 8000 without doing anything *laughs* Got scammed... is it illegal - Agmen of Eladesor - 08-29-2009 ' Wrote:Wow.

Attacking traders that have paid and actually destroying them - not allowed. Blowing your weapons turrets off after you pay, they can do that, and some will. Got scammed... is it illegal - silverleaf - 08-30-2009 HAHA how about pay up 999,999,999 credits or boom? Is that pvp abuse? Methinks it should be set to a % of the profits for the run but anywayz... So this rule is really open to abuse, most of the pirates I've interacted with are reasonable and they strive for a win - not too badly lose situation, but there are some. Anywayz back to topic. If the setcashcode scam happens, he can MILK THEM LIKE A COW. Wait till they get rich and then draw all the cash. Then if the victim doesn't realise and goes OMG ALL MY CASH IS PWNZERZ the scammer can draw more and more cash. While it is the victim's fault for being stupid you don't expect newbs to know everything eh?

Reading 2 pages of posts is not long at all so you should have read before posting. And everyone isnt stupid enough to ask for a so huge amount of money for the simple reason that getting money from a trader is always more profitable than blowing it up. And yes, blowing a trader after he pays is against the rules. Like the fact of coming back with a OC Sabre to PWNZOR him after. |
