Ok, i've decided i'm going to try and sort out the recent scams that have occured. Please post the the referral link of the person who scammed you, and also YOUR referral link (not the ref link they should've done, but the one for the account you greened on). So something like this:

(username of scammer)

(their ref link)

-------------------------------------

(your username)

(your ref link)

What I will do is try and contact the sites in question, and get them to put the scammer on hold, by linking them to proof of the scam (you will have to take a screenshot of your account, and PM it to me to prove you greened for them, and I will pass it on). So what you will need:

- username of scammer
- link to trade thread
- their ref link
- a screenshot of your account you greened for them

NOTE: This thread is ONLY if you've been scammed on this site, in the past two weeks or so. Also, this does not mean you do not report the scammer in the scammers section, please do that first.

What I can offer to do is stop the scammer's chances of getting their gift with YOUR green, I cannot get you a refund, but can try.

Hi. Bhav.

I was scammed by ineedgreens (unless he finally completes a referral) and funkyjunkified, who doesn't seem to post on here - but these two were a month ago.

But something I could use help with - i've been banned from PMing. I successfully completed a referral on PM, then... got scammed by the above two. I know not to use PM - i learnt the hard way.

BUT, i would still like to use PM to arrange new topics.

Could you re-open my PMing ability?

Cheers!

Bob

Sorry as I said this offer was only for a while, i'm too busy with college at the moment to sort out scams, I would advise you send in a support ticket at whatever site they went green on and show them proof you went green and they didn't.

As for PMs; sorry no. You were banned from PMs because you kept bugging newbies as soon as they register. You don't need to set up trades through PM, you just set up a thread and set it all up in there.
