I want to make a list for a friend of users to watch out for. She did a trade that was suppose to be for her Carlos the Alpaca for Sharktooth, equal in value about more or less a few coins. Well she did the trade cause figuring the user was being honest and plus she had no idea if the item was right because 1.) it was sparkling and 2.) when she put the mouse over the item it didn't bring up any name so she had no idea if it was the right item or not as looked right. When she went to sell it she found out the item wasn't Sharktooth but it was Sharp Fish Teeth only worth a tiny 6-8k Nowhere NEAR the 1-2Million gold worth of her alpaca so she's hoping to get her item back and she doesn't know if she will or not. This is the first case so below here I make a post for listing off names of rip off artists

One way I think this user did which is also Siru Nightingale's theory (user that got ripped off trying to get item back) She thinks there's a program out there that let's the user make an item sparkle or appear to be the right item and keep the item's name from show up when the mouse is put over that item in the trade as the item's name never showed up for her and when she saw the trade and accepted the item was sparkling. Then she went to sell and found it was a cheep easy to get item and it wasn't sparkling anymore so I think there's a program out that hackers/scammers are using to trick users now out of items when there's an item that looks like another except a difference is one sparkles one doesn't

I hope the admins or mods take out the scammer and return all stolen scammed items to their original owners -nods nods- me hoping so crying I miss my Carlos the Alpaca though I was going to sell it for gold I miss it because when I heard from Rose about this guild I wanted to sell it for gold to help Roy M N reach his goal or to surpass the goal to help everyone in here

ayoo_daisy's new main account is Ambeyy. But she has been removed from Gaia before, so she is at risk of loosing all her other accounts through her IP address.

But, anyone with the following in their names is most likely her:
Ayoo
Daisy
iidaisyy
iidaisyyy
ambeyy
963
lissy


And anyone with the following images on their profile/friendslist is her:
User Image User Image User Image User Image User Image


NEVER ACCEPT A TRADE OFFER FROM SOMEONE WHOSE AVATAR HAS MORE THAN 200k WORTH OF ITEMS, AND HAS UNDER 3 PAGES OF POSTS SPANNING OVER 2 WEEKS.

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
