Hey ( to whoever is reading this, hopefully someone who can hep. )
A user ( I will mention the name later) had successfully managed to scam me out of my arceus dragon about 9 days ago, on the day the event ended. This only came to my notice recently as I had been busy and the "user" had promised to put up the necessary pokemon. Although a part of it was my own fault for not checking the trade, the trade was made based on the total valuation of the pokes at that specific time (21/06/2020). The trade was decided to be done in 2 parts as the "user" had to give 2 pokemon for 2 of mine. The first trade was put on the Dragon, which I accepted, waiting for the other trade to happen. It did not. It has been about a week now, and I have not recieved the other pokemon. Whoever I have talked to about this incident, and this "user" have told me that this "user" seems to scam a lot of people, either pay less to newbies, or leave trades half done - to his own benefits. I hope someone looks into this matter and helps me out. Further Details are mentioned below.
"user" -
Pokemon offered from my side ( along with their values as on 21/6/2020)
Arceus (dragon) - 2.5m
Cosmog - 500k
Pokemon expected to receive (along with their values as on 21/6/2020)
Thundurus (therian) - 700k
Shiny deoxys - 2m
I only received the Landorus for my Dragon, and foolishly accepted the trade, believing him to send the other pokemon on my cosmog.
There have been many reports of him scamming newbies and others to make some easy bucks. This person has smartly made a new account and transferred all his pokes there, making the stolen pokes untraceable.
Such scamming makes the game toxic and drives a crowd away.
WHOEVER HAS BEEN SCAMMED, don't keep it with yourself, let it out and let the admin know about it.
Thank You for patiently reading my plea.
Regards
