Does ANet take action against trade scammers?

Hey everyone,

A guildmate of mine got scammed out of 60 gold in a trade. Basically, the item was linked, and my guildmate sent the gold, and the guy logged off without sending the item. I haven’t found anything regarding ANet’s official stance on this, so I was hoping someone would clarify if this is even worth reporting. We have screenshots of the chat between them and stuff if that helps.

Anyways, thanks in advance. I’m not really expecting much to happen in terms of a gold rollback, but I would like to know if this is something ANet takes action for. That’s all.

Reporting is always a good thing. No matter the outcome of one’s personal situation, a player does tremendous good for the community by making the company aware of scammers. Please DO encourage your guildie to file a ticket.
