Minch is not a scammer either, just the king overpricer.
Anyway, Baby Milo is a scammer, tried to scam 2.5 bil from me. |

Baby Milo acted highly suspiciously with me earlier.
He offered to sell x4 dement for 250 mil each, then on hearing I was going to scan his ship, his ship clearly didn't have the commods on board - suddenly they were in a near by space station, and he had "sold them yesterday". I viewed this as boarderline attempted scamming, esp. from a level 300ish. And yes, I keep peacekeeping 10 and a scanner on me for trades. |

so I got scammed by emme/happydude1.....more than once sadly.
I also got scammed by Baby Milo. i was buying 6 lipo drones from him so we met in argon i said I'd pay half and he'd give me half and then we'd repeat. makes sense right? well I payed the 300 mil and he gave me a planetscanner....classic scammer move i assume? i then told him I'm gonna ask the team to mark him KOS and he said he didn't give a rats ass he's gonna scam everyone in SS. doesn't sound very friendly. guess now I'm gonna get a ship scanner and credit scanner to go with my peace making 10. |

Baby Milo attempted to scam rl cash. Was going to buy 9b out of me, but refused to do a trade any other way than credits first, while I can't prove he didn't have an intention of paying, just a warning.

Scamming for items is allowed: scamming for RL cash ain't, I believe it is a bannable offense.. Ask a dev. team member to check logs. |

I know it isnt, but because I wouldn't agree to it, I can't actually prove he was trying to scam for rl cash. If he had done, he would be banned, but because I didn't risk it, seeing as hes a known scammer ingame and tried it with me, i pulled out, therefore no proof he would not have paid, its jsut a heads up for players.

As far as I know, it isn't, because then we would be accepting responsibility for these transactions, and acknowledging that in game items/credits have real world monetary value. But I could be wrong. |

I dont think theres any flags there
jeff might ban someone who scammed RL money because he is a good guy, but its not because it his responsibility (I think) trading RL cash for stuff is your own thing, SS actually discourages it iirc. _________________ 2nd place is just another way to say 1st loser. |

But I could be wrong. Can we have a ruling on this for moderators? I've coloured the statement that makes the least sense, as there's a lot of credit sales going on atm - its fairly accepted that $10 = 1 bil, and sub payments are common (Jeff even posted a safe way to do it via Paypal without exchanging passwords http://www.starsonata.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12476 I don't really want to hear constant adverts for $ for credits in Trade (today there was one for 200 bil for 900E, which is serious cash) if its all buyer beware, as children (with access to their parent's CC's, as we've experienced before) do play - can we assume that in-game trade is for in-game deals, and anything else is mutable? There's a couple of players in SS who I know wouldn't think twice about trying to get RL cash as a scam; and as history has shown, a couple of children who didn't think twice about grabbing mommy's CC. At the moment its usually "give me 1bil, I'll give you cash" and legging it, but I can see it equally easily being "give me $50 and here's-sweet-fanny-adams". |

If I havent heard of the player before I would never buy creds from them. How about a list of trustworthy people that sell creds? Would stop new players being ripped off by fake credit sellers. The only credit sellers i know of are: Hermes (gave me a nice bonus), John12345, Lich, DragonTVB and Minch.
I am sure there are more that I havent seen selling creds. |

That would be a lot longer. Most of the playerbase is slightly trustworthy
