FCAlife= SCAMMER! + Tips not to get scammed

ChaoticShinigami

Guys,  FCAlife is a SCAMMER. Do not believe a word he says. He has multiple accounts on different sites BANNED FOR SCAMMING.    In light of this information, I would definitely say if this guy is saying someone else scammed, he is just lying to cover his own back.  

I am experienced in this field (MMO Buying/selling) I dont have a dog in this fight, but I detest scammers. FCAlife is a decent scammer who puts more into it than the average completely obvious one. (makes it a tad harder to catch, but in this case the evidence is overwhelming.)

He has used several accounts/emails/etc. I believe that the 10 or so threads I found of him scamming are just the tip of the iceberg for this individual. (I cut down the # of links to just 1 per instance to save time)

Note: in 1 of his scam threads he claims to be in med school and in others a recently married cop w/ a kid.    Obviously those conflict (but he will find a way to make it logically work I am sure)


The reality is if you look at several of those proof threads, multiple people said he scammed them and all those accounts are linked to each other so you can easily spot his tatics. They were 2-3 different sites so 1 IP based ban would not cover the multitude of accounts he was using to scam.  


Tips for Avoiding Scam:



1, Do your homework.
Look at all usernames/emails/etc. used by the buyer/seller and look into their past history. Its always worth paying a bit more to work with a trusted seller.

2. Check for inconsistencies
Many scammers are inconsistent in their background stories and when faced with questions. Pay attention and be patient.

3. Look for unusual/ pressed behavior

Many scammers will try to pressure you to deal with them as soon as possible.  A lot will get upset and use more aggressive language to attempt to bully you into giving them what they want.
4.  Do not use hard to trace currency

The scammer above tried to use real life items & gift cards to more easily cover his tracks.  He used Yugioh cards and Itunes gift cards.  He avoided traceable forms of transactions like paypal (for example)  Scammers like gift cards/ bitcoins/ etc.  be wary of those transactions.


Trust trading is always dangerous and comes with risks. Even an experienced person like myself can get scammed unless you are willing to limit your opportunities with a hardline stance.  There will always be risk.

Whats hilarious is that the guy was acting as though he was bringing "justice" to the scammed accounts.
If people dont want to go through all the links above, in his previous post about Nakai he posted a link http://www.epicnpc.com/threads/7 ... chigo-and-many-more

If you go all the way to the bottom the second last post is by him and you can tell because the email he writes down is the same as the one he posted on this forum when he was saying that he wanted to buy an account since he had no time with med school.
Also, if you put [email protected] in google, it is filled with links of forums he is banned in.

So basically he has been lying to everyone the entire time and since he made a poll about what should be done to nakai and zed i think we should make a poll, but one that has just one option.

Ban FCAlife from this forum permanently

Anyways dont buy accounts online, especially for a game like this where as a buyer the only thing you can do is pray that you are not getting scammed. There are so many things a seller can do to get his account or money without putting him or herself at risk.

Fun Fact of the day...NO ONE ACTUALLY CARES.

To be honest, I love scammers....its like the digital worlds version of "natural selection".  Those who are as dumb as a box of f'ing rocks, are the ones who get scammed.  Short of you accidently downloading a keylogger (which would also make you dumb), the only way to get scammed is to be dumb enough to be scammed...and if you are that dumb, then you are a waste of pixils on my screen and I will be happy to be rid of you.  Perhaps the next account holder won't be as dumb #Hope

Scam on scammers, continue to prey on those weak-minded waste of pixils!
