On January 4, 2018, this HolyFKK character (cat, lvl 86) shouted RUDN HC service for sale.
I availed service, 30k for 6Wraths, so I paid. I did another 25k after he/she offered 55k for 12 wraths. So i lost 55k on that day. Stupid as I am, I learned something the scammers do. I hope you learn from my mistakes too.
So here's how they do it.
1. They make a character with a name that has a very close resemblance to a 'geared' character. Eg. BanmaBamma, the scammer (Take note there's another Character named BanmaBanma [geared lancea])
2. BanmaBamma (warrior scammer) chats me while HolyFKK stands beside BanmaBanma (geared lancea, currently AFK). So I inspect BanmaBanma and see the gears so I'm convinced. but only HolyFKK and I am in the party. The names are so close you won't easily see the difference.
3. So they both chat me telling me that the money will go to HolyFKK as the sub char. I transfer funds without checking more (stupid move). BanmaBamma (warrior scammer) asks if I want 12 Wraths, I said yes, so we trade again.
4. After that they both DC, so I can't PM them both. Then I see BanmaBanma (geared lancea) in same channel (5) near TH. I tried to chat with the character but suspiciously my PM's are not going through. Said he's AFK and says he's innocent. That makes me a little more suspicious. Maybe, just maybe, they're both accomplices.
Then this character named Nejibanah adds us in a party and tells us how they do it (see pics).
There you go pips. So that's how they do their scams. I really looked stupid this time losing my money so easily. But as they say, there's always a first time for everything. Newbie mode this time. (And yes, I don't know how to check the names/info without the character in front of me. Maybe someone would teach me how)
*** A few moments later someone named Chupatae and Meyhap [ from the Philippines, taken from their names ] are selling same service. Very good ones. Admin please check them. (Please see screenshots)
[Just a wild thought...] There is a group of 'geared' people, who got money and gears from scamming others by doing this technique. Where do you think their money goes to? GEARS! Maybe this group of people are the ones selling gold online also. So this is like a network of reallllyyy clever people who came up with this tactic. They intentionally create characters with names that they can closely resemble (like the examples above) so they can do this scam. If that's the case, then I hope Admin works with this. If the characters are banned, and their accounts are banned, then they lose all the gears and their money. And everyone will be happy, and DN will be a much safer place.

I hope Admin would check on these people because they do it easily and are not afraid to get banned. If ever they change name I hope they get traced. I'm gonna look for others and report anything I see. I encourage all other players to please check on these people and group. If you find anything suspicious, pls print screen and paste it on the comments below. Thanks!
Thank you in advance Admin and ms Tasha. More power to DNSea!
P.S. First sign of those involved/scammers will look for more proofs or try to negate this post. Don't worry I have more proofs. I hope Admin will take care of you.
