1 month later.... Second chance? Clicky this linky

Well, I feel like a patsy, and I suggest you read this through; it really might educate you, or at least you will be entertained by my plight.

I know how everyone hates unnecessary, lengthy forum posts, so I will try to go straight to the point.

999 [3179559], aka sassysprite, is a conman. She They aren't just a conman but an obviously seasoned one. 

Her one strategy is Social Engineering (Playing on the emotions and kindness gullibility of others). And my word! they are properly good at that.

The Setup

She initially and very carefully endeared herself to me, donning the disguise of a kind lady.

She sent a picture of her dog, who she claimed to love 

She talked about her doting and caring mother

Talked about how she made a fortune off RR and how she lost it buying RW caches

Talked about how she shared my interest in helping out young new players and anyone else in need.

I really cannot list everything she said. Every word she spoke seemed very carefully crafted to portray her as saintly and trustworthy.

She very patiently gained my trust.

The Con

Among other things she 'acquired' from me, she finally asked that I send my PI to her so she could help me fully upgrade it, previously hinting at how she got the stock block. All I was missing in the PI was the yacht, and I didn't even need her help. My faction leader also has the stock block, but she made a fuss about needing to help people and led me to assume it was some form of self-imposed repudiation.

So, I sent her my PI, and as soon as I did, I felt a cold shiver.

 All in all, I'm down by upward of 1b.

I now realize I failed at going straight to the point. My apologies.

TL;DR

User got scammed by seemingly sane and trustworthy Torn player

Conclusion

Be paranoid, and don't trust any outsider, Especially not one you meet on a crime game.

Could you do me a favour and enemylist her. I would hate for this to happen to someone else too.

Edit:
She did not send me a picture of herself, nor did I care what she looked like. She just played me, and I fell for it 

Kringle 

Awesome idea Smokey

This is literally my xanax guy

I have one tab permanently open for his bazaar

This is a great idea fox
Bump

Imagine the hours and dedication needed to pull this off

What are you going to do now? If someone could finish Torn, you're well on your way there 

I read this and said, " This sounds so much like Knirt."
Then I went to like the post, and guess who wrote it😂

I was just about to come comment this lmao

Since we're all here..

Or was just trying to be smart or eccentric

Multiple Offences

Exactly. More missions should mean more items; rare items.

That's the only drawback for me. Imagine having 10k creds but having to spend it only on jackhammers and ammo

There would most likely be a new merit added

And I'm sure your view on points would change after a couple wars with the right faction :)

Making 50m~ per week from wars would change the perspective of any newbie.

I thought this too (but I once got three books in two weeks.)

However, after all the books and weapon mods, mission credits are only good for special ammunition

Well this is a good idea

xanax

Are they ever coming back?

Did you say third SE?

So you've basically found one per year

Well, atheists flaunt their atheism everywhere

Everyone generally flaunts their beliefs when they're sure they won't get criticized for it 

Both inactives, to be fair I also was am inactive for many years. 

Maybe they'll be back

This is literally my xanax guy

More xanax please

Xans

Gree fifts?

You can't bake a cake without a little heat and pressure.

Pressure and heat build potential and strength,  as long as you don't back down
