You may remember that a few days ago a new user known as “xiaogucci98” posted a topic: “Can a scam be reported to the police?” Claiming that he just wanted the security of knowing that it could in case he got scammed in the future.
Well today I received a ridiculous trade offer from him… His chief and avalanche for my chief. I told him I was worried it may be a scam considering he has 1 feedback and it’s from a person who created their account yesterday. He then admitted to making the false account and giving himself feedback.
Then I asked him about the post he made about reporting scams to the police.
I said “You asked that with the intention of scamming.”
He responds with “Ok lol sorry then -.-”
We never agreed to a trade, I never lost anything, he just seems suspicious so be cautious if you are going to try to trade with him.
In regards to the fake feedback if suspicious feedback is noticed, if and how should it be brought to the MODS attention. Situation like feedback left by a user the day the account was created seeing as how there is no time for trade to take place. I know threads can be created to pint this out but maybe there could be a way to alert the powers that be. Save some people trouble?
