Administrators OverduePixels Posted June 24, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'm not going to argue with you. When you get scammed by a close friend i'll accept your apology. I would always keep my toes tight and keep my eyes open around whenever I am with a person who has criminal history. What Vince did was out of cautiousness. He wasn't cautious enough. That guy was already marked as a scammer on Outpost and Scrap.tf over a year ago. If I were to become friends with him and some time later become good friends, I would still be very much cautious around him. He would never gain my 100% trust because of his past. Doesn't matter whether he is my in real life friend or just here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallywalrus_ Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 On the bright side, at least you don't have to sell a MN BoA. Life Lesson #1: If someone has "A Virus Named Tom" avatar, unfriend them and run....run far...far away. that isactually so true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan.tf Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Did you know this guy in real life by chance? Since if you did, I kinda had a similar experience where my friend was a huge scammer on this one site. He ended up getting my computer keylogged by one of his "friends" and all my items taken away. I came back a few months later since he got me up on my feet but then again, introduced me to another notorious scammer who was his "friend" and got me scammed. At that point I just left. But yeah, my friend is still a real douchebag, but sorry to hear that you got $3000 taken away by someone you thought you trusted :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Cain Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ok, so now that you have gotten this off your chest you can end the self loathing/self shame (as represented by your Rob Ford avatar since the scam) and change the avatar to a new version of "vince the shamwow guy". Consider yourself to be a reborn Phoenix, add humor to your posts, get involved with charity events, etc. Do this: commission someone in the artist lounge to create a few vince avatars and hold another contest/poll as to which one to use. In the end I have always thought you were a decent guy who was a pretty heavy trader. No more, no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazQ Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Few months ago my friend asked if I could help him to cash out.

Administrators OverduePixels Posted June 24, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2014 This thread is about vince :T not you :T So? He is just sharing his story, there is nothing wrong with that. Not to say, this thread is mainly about being scammed by your "good'ol friend." He is saying he has been a good friend and took items from his friend, sold it and gave back the pure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seminal Inhalation Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Thank you for being trustworthy person unlike other lowlife ones. LOL i'm not trusting some pieces of crap over the internet. I barely even trust some of my irl friends that i've known for basically all my life. You can hide and conceal on the internet, you're very limited to hiding in real life. on the bright side you are very young and and i hope you learned a valuable life lesson This is like his...I think 3rd or 4th scam... He gets scammed so much I lost count... Stahp et vince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
