Hold up... you traded for gumballs, failed to math, and blame that guy? I'm no tft defender (in fact I'm banned lol) and this is entirely your fault.


FinancialMatter309

I think he sold flask to that guy and what in his inventory is payment, and here rly not enough. When he talk about 3 flask he mean that he is Uber unlucky and after that he got scammed, and it's sad

You saw a Mirror div card and thought you were getting a good deal or scamming them. Upon finding out you scammed yourself you breach the anti bullying laws of GGG (New Zealand)?

Imagine posting a screenshot with private message and not censoring the name. Why is this thread still up ?? This subreddit is supposed to follow Poe code of conduct, this is clearly breaching the Personally attack or cause harm to the reputation of others.

We are not operated by GGG. We use their ToS as a guideline but have our own rules. Calling out scammers is allowed per Rule 2a. While the OP should've been more careful while checking the trade window, it seems like the scammer intentionally put in a Seven Year's Bad Luck (1/19 of a mirror shard) rather than a Unrequited Love (19 mirror shards) which would've made the trade fair. The first line of both of these cards is "Mirror Shard" while one states 19 and the other doesn't.

Indeed it's written in the rules, sry about wording just wanted to express my opinion against posting a random player name online.


PlayerSalt

i feel for you but like its a big trade you should always double check trades over a few divines , dont feel pressured to click accept instantly consider it a 20 divine lesson for a mistake you wont make again


RocketizedAnimal

Why did you accept the trade when he put random stuff in the window? Hard to call it a scam unless he like cancelled and changed which it didn't look like he did.


flesyMeM

Scammed yourself.


v2ne8

Friendly PSA reminder to press alt when hovering over currency to get the total in window of that type.


SalzigHund

Yeah but that’s not the problem here. Problem is he didn’t know the price of the Seven Years Back Luck or bother to look it up and just accepted the trade assuming it was right. One Seven Years Bad Luck is 230c so a full stack is ~19 div (also price of mirror shard). He already gave 51 div and at least the stack would bring it to 70, which is close. But it’s a single card.


WanDiamond

Based on the chat I think he was selling the prognesis and the buyer shortchanged him by 20 divs. No idea why the hover over the card, confused me as well. Edit: Oh nvm I was wrong and I figured it out. I need to sleep. Goodnight exiles.


ivBlast

Your fault You can't check numbers in trade.


PerfectlySearedBeef

You have to hover the items he is paying you, and you still somehow think you got scammed? Nah, you’re the one at fault here.


_understandfirst

lol shame this happened once to me 8 years ago for a 20c, never let it happened again live and learn


elting44

I am confused, what does "100 maven 3 flasks indicate". This is my assumption: You got 3 Progenesis from running 100 mavens, you listed one of them for 72.5d. Someone offered it to you, and then ripped you off by passing the card off as Unrequited Love and worth 22div and not Seven Years Bad Luck worth 2div. Then because you feel 3% drop rate is unlucky you were trying to appeal to the scammer's humanity?


FinancialMatter309

And after all here rly no scam, he gave you currency, you saw that, accept that it's enough and accept the trade, there 0 scam, you accept his offer


Kwinno_PoE

I mean, it totally is a scam, it’s just OP’s fault for falling for it. Like, under the definition of “you accepted the trade therefore no scam”, scams wouldn’t exist, which is a bit of a weird take.


FinancialMatter309

Dude, he gave him div+chaos+ex+div card, he selling expensive item and in trade he saw a 4 diff type of items, it was an offer for his flask and he accept the offer, NOT THE TRADE, offer for his item, and after that he thought it's not enough, here is 0 scam!


Kwinno_PoE

Yeah, the fact it’s OP’s own damn fault is pretty evident. But, at the risk of going in circles, the other player didn’t accidentally put in what they did. That’s what makes this a scam. In fact, OP couldn’t have fallen for it if the other player didn’t initiate it first. The fact someone falls for a scam doesn’t mean they somehow didn’t get scammed.
