Hi everyone. Please be aware there is a scammer on the loose. He took our entire discords investment and his whole factions balance. Plauge_Dr Previously known as A_Mandalorian, The_Irishman, and Ninja1us. I was personally hit for 400m. He purged a lot of evidence, however I have screenshots of having sent him cash, and most likely can get from others that were effected. I will link his ID below

Please be safe out there. Yes this is a crime game, but this is a serious set back for a lot of us newer players.

Just link his profile next time:

Also in the grand scheme of things 400m is nothing. I've lost 5x that in a single day of gambling and it seems like the scammer has also lost around 1b gambling. Think of this as a good learning lesson on who you trust going forward before you get into the big bucks

I gotta disagree with you there. One rw with 40 hits can easily net you 150m, more if you add in a refill, passive e and extra xans. And its not even battle stat dependent. Have friends who are 1-10m total stats raking in 200m+ off a 1day war.

After that reinvesting the money into bank and stocks can easily net you a nice passive income.

Because you guys are a 13 member gold 3 faction. Bigger factions at higher ranks get bigger rewards. Even at my facs size of 26 members at plat 3 we are making almost 3 times what you guys get for a win.

Unless you have some sort of commitment to your current faction. Join a higher ranked one to make more money. Preferably with better respect aswell as your currently handicapping yourself with the tiny steadfast branch.

I think the point Flare is trying to make is that losing $400m sucks, but it's not much in the grand scheme of things and you can recover from your loss.

Hell, even just flying daily will only take a month to recover that if you have maxed out excursion perks.

Spot on wasn’t trying to down play that being scammed sucks it’s happened to me plenty of times. Was just trying show that with a little effort you can make it back.

Can we get some more details here? This is extremely vague. Did he run an investment discord? Did he run a ponzi scheme? Why were you handing this random nobody account over 1b total?
