-hello I was recently scammed for 5.5k fg, the accused was locked within 24 hours but he already moved the fg seconds after scamming me. Without any back and forth with meds after about 15 hours or so he was locked. The med had told me they investigate the accounts transactions history and claim to lock down other questionable accounts that the fg may have been sent to, but loophole. If they've already made a trade (ie spent my fg in a "legitimate trade") then they can get away with it making scamming a viable speed run? Also if they're going to lock the account and whatever account don't really get why they can't provide a refund at literally no cost to the site. Like how hard must it be to actually just use the sites fg bank generator.
- it speaks for itself and just like we need proof of the scam happening they should prove that the scammer did get locked on all accounts.
It's 2021 almost 2022 and it's a shame that this website doesn't provide anything for paying customers when it comes to getting scammed. Call me Karen whatever

This would be simple to abuse and would result in hundreds of false accusations.
Use a mediator.
Hey Necronaught,
The post above ^ explains one of the aspects why refunds might not be possible and be even harmful to the economy on the forum.
While your experience is, indeed, very unfortunate, it is not the website's responsibility to watch over every transaction that takes place on the forum. They already provide a fairly healthy system of support and in the form of mediators as well as a plethora of information on how to protect yourself.
Allowing and requiring refunds in your situation can and will result in many cases of abuse of this practice. I am sure you can think of many examples of how both buyers and sellers can get major incentives to manipulate this system for their gains.
My last point is that the accessive amount of fg in the economy is also unhealthy. It would definitely be not "free" for the website to issue refunds and reimbursements all day long in the form of fg as it will eventually lead to devaluation of this "currency" if you will.
Hope this helps to bring a different perspective on the issue.
I respectfully have to disagree with you on this point.
