Someone attempted to scam me. What should I do (report, etc)?

[honeyaura]

A user on here attempted to try to get more Bells out of me. I won't put their name out there, as that'll be blacklisting I assume. Then they left a negative rating, which just makes it worse.

What should I do? Should I report them?
If so, how do I?

Btw, if anyone is curious, the whole convo of the attempt is on my wall :/
Thanks everyone -.-

How did he/she do that exactly?

 

[radical6]

just give them a negative wifi rating
report their negative rating about you if theyre lying about you or whatever

Aww Honey
I say give them a negative rating, and really warn people about this scammer.

She sold me a golden axe for 1 mil yesterday (had no prob for the price, was desperate for the axe) with no problems.
Then for another deal we set for today, she suddenly out of the blue says that she lost connection and never got the money yesterday.
But I have the golden axe... and it would've showed up on screen if that happened.
Now she's saying I scammed her. The whole convo is on my wall if anyone wants to take a look.

Go to the thread you made the offer on and report her post there. It's on the beige strip beneath your signature on the left.

Thank you so much. I hope this moves in the right direction.

You need to do two things:
1. Give her a negative rating. This does not qualify as a "revenge rating" in my eyes, since it is obvious that she was trying to grope more money off of you.
2. PM a moderator or an administrator. I have had negative ratings removed/discussed within the same day.

 

[CaptainCrunch]

Well I truly feel you need to tell people about this scammer, so no one else has problems with them
Or just report them, I have no clue what that does D:

Aah sorry I'm just gonna jump in here and ask, can you really ask an admin or a mod to remove a negative rating? someone gave me one accidentally and it's really weighing down all the other positive ratings ;;;

I don't think that they will take much action, I think they'll just let the -1 speak for itself.

Also, yes.

that's awful when that happens. I'm glad that you were able to catch it. i think that if connection was lost, then yeah, you would have gotten the message as well. the system isn't only going to send a failed connection message to her DS and not yours. hopefully you can get this sorted soon!

 

[Skyfall]

I dont have much to add except to say i am sorry you got scammed. . Sucks that a few bad apples can ruin things, right? Hopefully the mods will try to help you.
