The Sad Story of 1 of 1000 scammed victims in era (not a complaint/whine thread)

BabyGhost · 10-05-2012

This story is dedicated to all the people in era who got scammed or betrayed.

*If you don't care, leave this thread. I am conveying my message to the scammed victims*

Many people get scammed. It's not fun. But realize the story and the truth that lies within these scammers. No player names are involved in this story. Many people probably won't care about this story. Gather around my friends. Nothing here was made up. This is my story of 1 of 1000 scammed victims in era.

~~~

Spoiler

A gang member who was in my gang for quite awhile helped me make a video. We quickly became good friends. (will refrain uploading the video) Later during the week, he begged the heck out of me for my hammer. He swore to God that he will return it back soon. (he would borrow my hammer and it's a powerful promise) Unable to withstand it, I gave him the hammer. When his hammer time was up, I asked for it back. He said he wanted to keep it longer. I kept convincing him to give it back. He eventually logged off to avoid me. I eventually asked him the next day to give it back. He made a rather bad excuse to log off. Saying his phone is low on batteries. He just logged off again. Knowing now that he is trying to avoid me, I told my friends that I no longer have my hammer. My friends being very defensive and learned who stole my hammer, demanded him to return it back. (heck...the whole gang except the thief was defending me >_<) He would try as many methods as he can to avoid us. Such as claiming his brother is playing, etc. But we countered them. He eventually gave up and admit guilt but never dropped it. I told him warnings why he should give it back. Betraying a friend and breaking a promise was not a good thing. It's a bad example to follow in real life as well. He lost practically all his friends in the ally gangs and the main gang. He once claimed that he is a scammer and he is proud. Bam! A load of hate messages to him follows up. It wasn't funny. I remained silent. He showed the hammer he stole from me to other friends who don't know about the story yet. They found it suspicious since he said he got it from an auction and claiming full owner ship of that hammer. They came up to me soon after learning that the hammer was stolen. (Even people I didn't know before or people who weren't in my gang or ally gang.) They learn the full story. They then realize how evil it was to betray a friend, steal his hammer, and claim full ownership of it. Numerous messages I got were related that he doesn't care about me any more. Continuous days of begging for the hammer back. (every day gang members ask me if I got my hammer back) The thief then had the guts to say that he loves his hammer more than his friends. It's a sad story. But's it's true. This is no original story. It has happened to many scammed victims. This is the dark truth of era.

That's my story my friends. Realize you are not alone. Be careful of whom you trust because friends can use their kindness or your kindness to get what they want.

A virtual hammer is more important than 20 friends the sad true story

To be honest I just don't see why there isn't a trading system like era PC, you can then gift all your friend has to do is just not out anything in the trading part and there should also be the lend thingy, I say thingy because I have mental block ATM I can't think of the word, anyway this would fix so many things and ik it's been suggested before but it's just really needed and then we would have no scam threads, I'm not hating on this one because this one was the first non spammy scam thread but I really think they need, trading system and a lend system

You obviously haven''t been in update with Era PC...

It's your fault. Don't drop in the first place. It's as easy as that. There a warning before you drop saying to watch out for scammers. It's your own fault. Don't get so worked up over a pixelated item. Like I said, it's your fault.

Aside from this, Babyghost, is so pathetic that both you and your friend are fighting over, which I believe many people have stated, PIXELATED ITEM! Comprende?!
