This is copy and paste from the AO forums before they erased it :D.

Btw, i made a new post on the forums that only posted the link to this page and NOT any names, and it still got deleted.

Got warn'd by FC also for the forum posts.


Yep, last night i got scamed out of a bill by someone claiming to be Niceas's alt. My friend told me someone was selling a city on OOC and showed me the persons name, Teknition - i talked to him for awhile .. he told me it was niceas's alt around that time i didnt check or anything i just believed him because he was in this small ass org "Evul" with niceas as lead. We dealed alil .. 1.6 for this small city in CAV .. it seemed so real because he actually tryed to make a deal with me, he told me that if i gave him 1.4b now he'd give me awhile to get the extra 200m, I agree'd ... went to city .. he warped me in the HQ, i gave em the bill ... he said he had to log his alt "ninjans" to invite me, then i got warped out of the building .. around this time my friends told me that he was still posting the city for sale on shoping, i asked him about it as he was still loged on teknition .. he was whining about duel loging lag and all that and said he used the wrong script (even tho i had a friend ask if the city was still for sale and he told em how much and where it was ... i knew somethen was wrong but he had my bill so i had no choice but to just .. go on with it i guess) after about 20mins he just loged off. I waited like ..30mins .. then i petitioned a ark ... to tell em i think i got scamed .. he said he couldnt do anything and so on because of FC's policy. After a sleepless night i talked to niceas .. they told me thats not their alt .. So im typing this **** up, pretty pissed off and all that. Before you post .. yes i should of looked into everything more ... but i was so excited that i thought i finaly had a city.. was going to make my own lowbie twink org, now im left with pretty much nothing. Also im pretty stupid for having so much trust in people, i only copy and pasted one convo and saved it , and thats after i gave em the bill and he loged and the convo doesnt really make **** for sense because at the time he said he was gona log his alt and was talkn about the bill, he was in team.

Offline message from Teknition (Wed 13 Sep 2006 00:47 GMT)

Yep yep .. there ya go, so now you all know make sure the dude gets blacksited and everything, if you see his head on fire, dont even piss on it to get the fire out. o_o I've never wanted to quit the game so much as now, i spend months saving up those creds and i feel as if i failed myself and all my friends.

It sickens me FC's response to this. Deleting my posts.. ARKs not doing anything because of their policys .. If you'd read this and actually care, go ahead and email FC and complain, something has to change, their policys for one.

Heres another post on it - Unfortunity FC edits the hell out of it.

o_O 5 months ago what?- the thing about it being my fault because the city was only 1.4? Was a very small city, had a HQ a shop .. whompas .. that'd be it, wasnt a insane set up. citys have sold for less before .. and not 5months ago either.

Scammers have been lurking around Rubi Ka since the first bugger came out of the backyards. Much like IRL, there are people out there that cant go through the day without having to fekker over a fellow human being. FC's policy is that all trades are final, and they can't do much about scammers in general, since anyone can accuse another player of being one, and then we would realy have anarchy. Posting on the forums and using other players names as a warning to others, or using player names where you put them in a bad light etc is according to normal forum etique, not allowed. So I doubt very much any complaints towards FC will help much.

Personally I think it is selfish for one person to own a city for his alts when there are org's out there that does not have a city. But if you want to own one, I think rule number one is to buy the plot from the president in the org of wich the plot belongs. Secondly, you should not transfer any credits before you witness the person dismantle all the buildings, as a show of good faith and that the plot is acctually going to be sold. Other than that, you realy are at the mercy of the person saying the plot is for sale, and need to trust his word when he say he is going to release ownership as soon as money is transfered.
If you still after transfering the money have not been given a chance to set up a HQ, then sadly I must say you have been fekkered, and there is not much you can do to get your money back. :?

Bump, he let him into the guild....

LOL o_o





Yes, there is no safe way to buy a city plot. However, that is a risk
players have to accept if they wish to do that. Players were never
intended to sell cities and, quite frankly, they shouldn't be trying to.
Almost all players trying to sell them are scamming.
