Hey everybody!  I've been pretty inactive lately due to work.  Just this afternoon I was scammed out of my complete necro build that I agreed to sell for 12.5k to somebody that was very cleverly impersonating John.  The whole story is pretty long and the end result was me being stupid and giving away my character to somebody unknown.  There's no way that I can tell who it was but ultimately I'm out 12.5k. 

I understand that it was my own stupidity that put me in this situation and I don't expect much out of this plea but I am asking for any donation that you are willing to give.  For those of you who do know me you know that I'm a good guy and a good friend.  I wrongly accused John of being involved in this for which I apologize, but I figured it out and now am left with nothing.  Any help that you are willing to give would be incredibly appreciated.  Thank you

You have 1.7k+ bro, you're set to go.
Also, you should always use a mediator for trades over 5k, even if they are a GG friend.
I would use a mediator for a trade that big even if it was usman.
Best of luck getting some stuff back and figuring it out.

That is good, it is always best to play it safe no matter how much time it takes.
Some people get carried away with the extra 5 minutes that some trades take with mediators.

Most of the time, truth be told, mediators do take as long as people accuse them of taking -- which is usually around 20 minutes. Although I can understand that they're busy, it's kind of ridiculous and that really inclines people not to use meds

Ah that sucks to hear man, Sorry for your loss

So you say you don't know who was trying to impersonate John? Maybe post this up in Scammer accusations.

But next time i think you should probably use a mediator for such a big trade like this one
