    Hello everyone, Good day!

    As the subject title, I'm using the "scam" to bring up the issue. I understand this word is very harsh, but I have been gone through times of scam since my leech journey from level 65 to lv100. They halfway disconnected and never back!

    Note: Even though the amount being scammed is not large(around 6m), yet I'm so frustrated to got scam again and again.

    I tried to Smega to look for the leecher (just telling them I have took SS) to check if they are playing another account

    (I NEVER REVEAL THE LEECH SCAMMER NAME),

    the suggestions always I got from other players are, take SS give them a day and send it to GM / Moderator. And some even telling me the leecher maybe just disconnected. And some even warning me by doing so I WOULD GET BAN??????????????????????????????
    (So the victim should be victimized again?)


    Ok , so I got scam now, not only my mesos, but my time as well. I gave these scammers time to reconnect (about 1 hour something) before I look for another leech seller.

    I took SS of transaction, pause time, resume time of every leech I done with, but whenever I'm about to send those SS to GM/Moderator, I'm wondering is there any use? It may took me so much of time to deal with every single detail, and I think I wouldn't able to get my refund anyway.

    Sorry for bullshitting so much, but i really hope leech scam issue can be minimized. GM / Moderator should allow players to make a trustworthy leecher list / blacklisted leecher list (IDK if current have any, because player tell me doing this would get ban as well?) to let player avoid scam.

    Cheer for all the proper leech service provider, and the cool players.

    P.S.: I deleted most of SS being scam. I do remember some of their name, but I cant reveal... X'D (LAUGH WHILE CRYING), but I still have the latest scammer SS.

    I think just report first.
    If they legit disconnect, you can then request to withdraw the report later.
    Also you don't need to wait them for one hour to come back, one hour is too long, you can proceed to look for other sellers, and they need to refund your meso.
    Or can just reschedule to other time to leech you.

    It takes a lot of time to investigate leech scams, especially since most people don't take screenshots of the leech agreement and the transaction / trade. However I will say that maybe 60-70% of leech scams reported to us, the seller actually d/ced and usually logs on the next day to refund the player and do the remaining about of leech. That being said, yes, please report the abuse to us and we'll look into it ASAP. ^^
