How do you report a scammer

So I was looking to buy a dead guild to move all my alts in because I am going to be going inactive for awhile. So this person whispered me. She said she owned a dead guild. We agreed upon a price. She asked me to mail her the credits, which I mailed some but not all of the them. I wanted to move all my alts in first. She then said she wanted to verify I sent the the first amount after all my alts were in the guild. Which she verified the first amount, then said meet me on the fleet. So she said did you send the second amount? I said how about you transfer me leadership, she said did you send the other amount which I didn't because when I checked she didn't own the guild. I said I did and she asked me to come down in the cantina area. Asked If I rp'ed, I said sure. So she said notice anything weird about this. I said yeah like you don;t own the guild? So she said bingo. So I said I guess you'll be returning my money. She said yeah right. Left the group and logged out. She logged onto her alt. I have her name, her alt's name and her legacy name, the name of the guild she is in. How can I report this to bioware? What are the chances of her getting banned?

 

Also, she said she won;t send my money back because I didn't give her the full 700m we agreed upon. Which she didn't own the item she claimed to sell to me so who gives a crap if I didn't give her the full amount. I spoke with the guild leader and while I was still in guild I provided him with screen shots of all the conversations on discord, except for the the one where i made the initial deal with her because she said she wanted to move my alts in guild. The guild leader said it appears I was scamemed, then he told his guildmates I was trying to scam him to get credits.

 

I have reported the person in game through tickets. and I have my direct communications with him on discord and I copied and pasted them in a word file.

All you can really do is contact either CS through support@swtor.com , the mail system is much better than the ticket system. Send them to screen shots, etc. If they don't / can't do anything, you can try messaging jackieQ, and she's the community manager, and what this person did was nasty, and should be dealt with.

 

 

What server are you on, I've several dead guilds, I might be able to give you one, no charge :)

I have a few dead guilds I think on each server after the merge. Most I picked up free as the other members left.

 

List the server you are on, maybe I can give you a guild for free, no cost. At present time I am working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week, so Sunday is my only free day. Lets see if we can work something out. Just to let you know you may wish to change the guild name.

 

I am in the UK, so if you can give me a time you are online. I have well over 600 characters (across many accounts), so need to actually fine the character(s) the dead guilds are on. They do have guild utilities already in place.

 

I will log in Sunday morning UK time (around 10.00) to see if you have replied in this thread, if not I will assume you no longer need a guild.

 

Maybe between me and DarkTergon, you get a guild for each side.

Honestly I appreciate the offers for the guild but I just made a new one and I paid someone to invite my alts. I will submit what I have to the email provided and if I don't get a satisfactory resolution to this problem I will reach out to Jackie. This kind of BS needs to be addressed.

 

I have been incredibly generous over the years to random people, handing out hundreds of millions of credits during each nightlife event to help people, I have given billions of credits to the guilds I am in, and this just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. The persons cavalier behavior and her guilds position in game all calling me a POS and a Karen, and ridiculing the names of my toons, and one of the guild leaders in discord saying it appears I was scammed but later when he logged in to the game, not realizing my toons were still in the guild, said I was trying to shake him down for credits. I have every single message I sent to him and his response, I never once asked him directly for anything, only that the person be kicked from the guild for being a dishonest pos. Now, basically I will never offer my help in game to anybody outside of the people i talk to now or the guild I am in.

You can't post the stuff here, but if that guy is in discord spreading BS, you can always post them there, so people can see the issue was him, the perpetrator , and the guild. Show them the truth.

 

I've been screwed over in the game a few times, but you can't stop being a nice person and helping out because of 1 person. You can be more cautious in deals like this, but when it comes to helping people, don't let some <redacted> get you down.

Also, even if it has to be done on Discord, posting further information may help other players avoid falling for the same scam. As cliche as it sounds, this may not have been their first time and may not be their last time doing this to someone... Edited by turbomagnus

This isn't the first time this has happened to me. I was ripped off in a trade and lost 190m. This was probably 6 years ago or more. Person put the item in trade, I put my credits in and clicked trade. They removed the item and hit trade, and took my credits. They jumped to their Yavin SH probably depositing my credits in their legacy bank, and logging out. I still have that person's name written down. Have never seen them on since that day. People still do this because Bioware refuses to take action against them if I had to guess. In my case I feel I have the evidence though. The person invited trade and literally sat there saying they wouldn't give them back because I didn't send them the other 200m. lol I know crazy right. I figured out I got scammed and would give them the other credits. If the person was somewhat remorseful I honestly would have let them keep 100m or 200m because I understand some people just don't have much in game. Edited by Valin_Marr
