Hello jammers, Maretu here with my first scam report after being re-hired. The scammer today is Stingfulpvp.



This player was advertising for a giveaway, stating that the winner gets their spike. (He was referring to the Worn Spiked Collar he is wearing)



I went to go check it out, and there was one other person there. Thankfully, they already assumed it was a scam and were on their guard. After a few other people came in, Sting came and told us how this giveaway would work. Oddly enough, it wasn't a "best trade wins" scam in the traditional sense. It worked off of some kind of point system.

(Sorry for the varying photo sizes, I use the all-powerful Snipping Tool to get my evidence)




The last one was "5 points for rares", however I somehow lost the photo of that one, sorry about that.


"First to ten wins"

He also asked to not trade him spikes, as it would be unfair.



Interestingly, he still had the spike on trade, and asked us to trade for it rather than, say, a Necklace.

The other people were calling him out as a scammer, so I started trading him. I traded him 2 worthless RIMS because he didn't specify what kind of rares they had to be, which would make 10, so I would technically "win". He declined, and I asked him why he did, because I met his 10 point requirement and didn't trade him a spike of any kind. His only reply was:


I also pointed out that no one else was trading him, so I should be declared the winner. He promply locked us out.


Status: None Harmed

Please report Stingfulpvp for attempted scamming.
