Treasure map scams
Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 4:50 am
If you've seen IRC or my posts on the trade forums, it's no secret that I buy alot of maps. The problem with these maps is there is really no way to verify if these maps are legitimately the level you're buying them at. Because of this, it's easy to scam buyers.
I recently purchased maps from two different people and paid 15k gold (level 5 map price) for a level 1 map. So the best thing to do now is just notify people so the same thing doesn't happen to them. The following people listed below are people who recently took advantage of my trustworthy ways! Don't let it happen to you!
#1.) This person was advertising that he was selling three maps. One off an ancient wyrm, two off blood elementals. I gave him a small house deed for, what ended up being, three level 1 maps.

#2.) This other person I'm not too sure of. It might have been a mistake because I've bought off him before but this last time he definitely gave me a level 1 map when I paid for a level 5. I'll talk to him first to see if it was an accident. IF it was not, I'll reveal who it was!
