ok yeah i was just scammed out of 3500g.

We were talking on skype and in game and the guy just split.

what happened was i gave him 3500g from an alt

he was supposed to give me the code. i was then supposed to turn the code in and get the mount code, i was then going to give him the rest of the money and that would be that

well i gave him the money and he logged out of skype and logged out of the game.

i was trading in game gold for an in game item and i paid my gold but dont have my item... i just want my gold back...

I have a ticket open with the GMs on my realm but i dont know what else to do.

Reporting this is exactly the thing to do.

Please note however - this is an INCREDIBLY risky behavior. I'd say 99/100 of these are a scam.

We will look into this, but this is NOT a supported activity. Best to let a Game Master make a decision as to be what can be done.
