also watch out for users pretending to be other users, like in these cases. Compare names:

Can you elaborate? What did this person/these people scam?

various gogers via steam. Probably the same guy. I created this thread so people can add to the list.

He scammed people in the classifieds thread. Asked them to send the code first, then stopped responding.

Look at his wording/choice of words. If you see anyone using very similar wording when trying to trade with you, back out!

I'll gladly trade it for Dota 2. I don't play much on GoG by the way..

Said person/s have also been screwing the ninja giveaway thread ruining a good thing...such is that one asshole can ruin things for the whole.



The trashbin user specifically messaged me asking for a trade, he also used the whole I am scared of the recent scammer...


I then asked him to provide me a link to a post of his proving his credentials (since searching for him showed nothing)...and stated that if he had an older account or higher rep, i would gladly trade first...

Never got a reply, and already had my suspicions...I was actually about to post a warning about him when the OP posting in the classifieds saying he got scammed.

Sad...very sad...trashbin and what not has no life, but karma can be a bitch.

Cmon, mighty blue ones, it can't be that hard to find out his ip.

Well he's clearly a scammer if he can't spell GOG properly.

A members directory or a quick an easy way to check out a particular member by their user name would be really helpful so see the posts they've written, when they join etc.

Multiple Steam profiles for Wakalo:

Might be a good idea to make a list in the first post of the trading threads, if possible. That way at least it's easily accessible right in the thread itself.

This thread needs a sticky . Also it should be posted in here : http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/community_stickies_compendium_2_0
Do you think everyone start reading the thread with the first page ?

Speaking of the stickies thread, there's this spam post: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/community_stickies_compendium_2_0/post83

Wouldn't it be better to delete those posts?
