Good advice 3nodding My friend Alurin stated to me that a user by the name of....-tries to remember- I believe the name was Conceded_Bitxh or something similar to that. She stated it had the Lusty item that Siru saw and it also had Siru's Carlos the Alpaca item before the user posted it up for sale and then the user's sale vanished so it is unknown if the user had sold the item or if the user was ban and Siru just never got her item back sad It's tragic when users do this to others -shakes head sighing sadly-


Yes, I remember that. If I recall correctly, she canceled her sale, and then sent the item to another one of her accounts (I tracked it down; I don't remember which account it went to, but she was wearing it). At this point in time, if she had only kept the vend up, it would have gotten sold, and then Alurin would have gotten her item back in a little bit of time. sad

But if she filed a hacking report, she should get it in 2 to 3 months, no matter where it is now. I assume that the hacker is avoiding her cookie-based chain ban, and is using script blockers so she can still use her accounts. Gaia rarely gives IP bans, but I think it's time for them to be a little less lenient. neutral

She had filed a hacking or scamming report I don't recall which though and Siru had filed a scamming report. Neither have heard back from an admin or mod on what is going on or if the item will even be returned or anything sad

Scamming report is correct. xp I've been thinking about hacking all day.

But anyways, she won't get a response in the first week, assuming she filled out all the fields so it could actually get submitted. When I was working with another scamming victim, she didn't hear back until a month later, after her item had been sold twice. By that time, she was almost completely off of Gaia and didn't even care anymore.

I think the thing we need to warn members about is to not give up hope; she ended up getting her item, but she gave it away again since she no longer played Gaia. If she had left completely, her report never would have been finished, and the scammer probably would have gotten away with a few more scamming cases.
