    Straight and Clear:You're screwed

    - GMs don't refund for in-game frauds.
    - Unless you got a lot of screens about that,its hopeless,even with Screenshots or a recorded video the chances to be refunded are about Zero.
    - Selling an item at a low cost its the first sign of something's suspicious
    - Declining trade various times is a common trick to scam people

    Its a common scam:
    - First the scammer shows the correct item
    - He waits the player to input the money
    - He cancels the trade,making up random arguments
    - Repeat step 1,2 and 3 till the other player is pissed enough
    - Again,he shows the correct item
    - Player input money
    - At the same time he see player inputting money he exchange the correct item with another Item with the same icon
    - If the other player doesn't check after pressing the first confirm,he won't note any difference
    - Bingo,you're screwed

    You lost 21M,but in return you probably learned a lesson for in-game and in real life to.
    Next time double check whatever you're trading. b:bye

    There is many DQ items that looks like packs rewards items so next time, check the items you are trading, read the description and be sure is the one you wanted to buy before trade it.
    Many people does that to scam others and get a nice profit for a **** item.

    This. Trading with anyone is a sort of risk that you have to make sure you have all your bases covered, so you do need to look at everything (like Nei said about the DQ items) before you trade with people. You can try to send a ticket:http://support.perfectworld.com/ but I won't guarantee anything.

    The exact same scam happened to a faction member of mine. In this case, she had to borrow money from other friends to buy the said item. The scammer asked more 1 mill more and she didn't have that so he canceled the barter screen. Afterward he agreed on previous amount and sold her a DQ item for 25 million.

    What I would like to know is if anyone remembers the duke rose fiasco. GMs refused a server rollback, but they looked up the history of all the transactions that took place on that day. The people selling gold for a much higher price were spared, but others who bought the gold /sold the gear to npc/ collaborated with others had all their money taken away.

    Is it not possible for gms to just look up the victim's history for 1 particular day when he/she was scammed ? Or is bartering something that cant be traced ?
