World 2 =Scammer Heaven?

[Lord Diddy]

Well i've recently been on world 2, selling\buying all the various items that i needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then i walk up to the veracs section where i was going to buy a verac set, as usual the person tried to scam me, but i look carefully and declined. Just a second after the trade ended i clicked the "Report Abuse" button as they say. But then i found out that after putting the name in perfectly (no mistakes) it says "You can only send a report abuse for someone you have TRADED or talked with recently"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From this i looked and went to the Infinty section and tried buying a Mage's book, well i found a person scaming with it, and after the trade i immediatly without a miskate, reported him for Item Scamming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it just me or does the Report Abuse not work in world 2 because of the massive amount of text? Maybe i did somthing wrong in my part of reporting? :wall:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If in wrong section please move.

No Flaming for "Wannabe Mod", im just trying to make Rs better

I bet he had a space in his name? Because I bet you put in one space in the report, but his name has 2 spaces..

[timmyboy1234]

Wannabe mod!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heh, just kidding. Maybe the difference was that in the first trade, you didn't proceed to the second trade window, but in the second you did?

[Jeffery]

no cos they have names like merchant41564 or dfsdkjgjsg random names lol

[Lord Diddy]

I have taken screen shot of the trade and both scammers did Not have a space in there name.

they log off right after so it resets their chatbox, it's almost impossible to stop.

The "screenshot" sent to jagex is a screenshot of your own box. Also, the report abuse button works if you've engaged in a trade, but you have to reach the second trade screen first.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, it should just send it anyways and jagex looks for whatever trading you've engaged in and checks those for scam attempts..

What? :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you don't have to be in the second trade screen :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example: You put up Veracs

 

 

 

They put 4700k

 

 

 

They put D scimmy, 200k, and some junk, quickly change it to

 

 

 

47004 gp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You don't have to be in the second trade screen to engage a report.

[Lord Diddy]

Well i doubt they would log immediatly because world 2 is pretty hard to get in to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About that 2nd trade screen in both of them i cought them at the 1st, maybe i need to go in 2nd to report like you said

It's because of the mass chatting. The chat pushes the trade offer off the chat box making it seem to the abuse button that they haven;t traded recently. The same thing happens in world 18. They trade, wait for their 'Sending Trade Offer' to disappear, then offer the money to scam. It's almost too smart for scammers...:-k

Exactly my point, shouldn't jagex make a better report system?

[Arkano5]

Its simple....Your chat is on "Hide" so you can easly accept trades. so the "[name] wishes to trade with you." sign dissapears half way through the trade due to the giant amount of text so when you go to report them nothing happens.

This actually isn't true a lot of the time, simply because it can take 10 minutes to get back in the world.
