What do you do if you're scammed on here? <_<

[courtky]

Sorry if this is wrong thread but I just got scammed and I'm kinda mad because I gave this person almost a full day to pick up this set.

At first, everything was going like a normal trade but then someone was coming in and I got worried and wasn't sure if I should flick the wifi, but I didn't (mistake). This person preceded to run around and grab up some of my payment. The person finally dropped it and I was going to the bank to empty my inventory and the trader kicked me out, so I sent him a PM saying he only gave me 3.5 million when the deal was 6 million. He took his time inviting me back in, but he eventually gave me close to 2 million before saying that I shorted him on the set and that he'll have to remove 500k from the payment and then I was kicked.

I double checked before I went to his town and I know I had the complete set, so.

I mean, I guess it's only about 1.5 million that I lost (better than the original 3.5 million), but it's just so frustrating to me. I don't know whether to give him a negative wi fi feed back and risk getting one for "not sellling the complete set" or to just ignore it. I don't want others to be scammed but I also don't want people thinking I scam, lol.

So, what's the best way to act on this?

Give him a negative rating. He sounds like an idiot

This. It's the best you can do. Wi-fi ratings are great. (who was it, out of curiosity?)

What can you do against false wifi ratings? Courtky got one for lying. What would stop the scammer from just giving good people bad ratings?

Mods can modify or delete ratings. That's what stops them.

Oh, okay. Thanks!

You need to take pictures of the stuff otherwise you'll just end up with a negative wifi rating yourself. And with these large transactions, I always demand the gates be shut. Any attempts to save/end the session, I just terminate the trade, PM the person to let them know why I terminated and leave them a neutral feedback describing the termination.

I recommend you talk to a mod to change the negative wifi-rating you got and explain that you did not scam the person. ~
