Scamming is legal in torn and not against the rules. Even if they were not in fed, nothing could be done to help you.

Was recently scammed, however, i doubt anything can be done about it as the person is already fed. Had someone join my faction claiming they were someone else. Had a plausible story and actually knew my last conversation with said person.

Is there anyway to get my money back? Was 1.6b+ Was items mostly which i have records of said items.

Unfortunately nothing can, or will be done. Scamming is legal in TORN and is not dealt with by staff.

as stewie said, unfortunely there is nothing to be done, if staff had to deal with every scam, it would take up 100% of everyones time, its all about being smarter than the scammer, just avoid trusting anyone bar staff, or really good mates, and itll stand you in good sted

The scammer multie is friendly with you and asks to have access to all your stuff and then he takes it.

Then he sells it all and blows it in the casino.

As so many are so very interested in what happened, I have absolutely no problem informing such folks. Yes, it's stupid, yes it is embarrassing. Do I view it as a learning curve? Not really.

Messaged me claiming to me my coleader GenoBear. Sadly, i know Geno fairly well, i know the way he talks, i know his grammer, etc. Paster insisted he was helping a friend get started and had just won big in the casino and was on a lucky streak. So asked for access to pull the cash and use the bank to store his money. So i figured, shit, what do i got to lose? Well, i lost 1.6b+(he under priced everything). I was curious as to the lows someone would go to to scam someone. Due to personal problems in real, it sounded like a good idea at the time.
