Hey i just got scammed by Tirth so please go and report this scum he should not be able to do this to other people. He told me that he would pay me back if i attacked him 7 times which i did but he did not pay me back he blocked me.
You got scammed. Welcome to Torn. Happens to the best of us in some form at least once. It's not a big deal. Use the experience to make some changes in the future. Especially since it's legal.
But quite honestly...slutting is probably the worst use of your energy. And I'd hope you used this experience as a deterrent from doing so and think of better ways to use your energy and set goals towards making money differently.
There's no such thing as scamming in Torn. The game mechanics make it impossible. Its possible for people to lie, but assuming you've lived on planet earth all your life, that should not be surprising.
Don't do deals with strangers. Either take the time to get to know someone and trust them or ask for money up front - bearing in mind that they probably wont give it you for the same reason.
What are you on about, of course it's possible to scam in Torn. And dealing with strangers is perfectly fine, you just have to be careful and not take any stupid risks.

Swallow your shit pixel pill you've just bought 'cheaply' and move on.
I get what he's saying. It's not a "scam" because it's not illegal, basically someone lied or fooled someone. It's like the difference between abuse and someone just being rude. So in that sense he wasn't scammed, he got played.
OP, if you got scammed... Welcome to Torn! Scamming is the least of your worries here. Because it's 100% preventable by being on the ball when dealing with others.
Have a browse through the forums and read a few guides on staying safe here in Torn. Plenty of cash vultures here just itching to make a quick buck off you.
Having said that there are also plenty of players out there that are safe and reliable traders. You just need to weed out the good from the bad.
