^There is an example of this new scam

Just refreshing the topic because it seems to have hit RT server.

A friend of mine who bought some charms in bulk from a cat ended up with one almost empty...I'm not sure of the GM/Support response and solutions to this but to those buying charms plz beware and double check to ensure ur charm is full and not to fall for this scam!

I know we really shouldn't have to worry about something like this but its to caution yall against the trouble of falling for it then sending a ticket...I hope everyone that is involved in this scam gets perma banned !!!!

    You ladies need to start buying charm from gold. Catshops are the ones making money out of you, scam or not. As for the shops that do scam, that's just bad business. I hope their names get spread around and no one buys from their shop ever.

    Are you really sure that it's the catshops fault??

    i bought from a catshop but when i bought it had 1.2m in it im sooooooooooo lost :c

    He clearly says that it had 1.2m when he bought it.

    I'm just coming with ideas, but could it simply be a misclick or something. You get a pop-up when you try to "overwrite" a old charm, right? What happens if you click "no" on that? Could that be a possibility? That it was actually the old charm still in that slot? Or were the old charm completely worn out? I know I only switch charms when there is 1-2K left on it, but I don't have alot of HP so... :0P

    Oh, and also, you should do the math on what's cheapest. Like Quilue said, catshops don't sell stuff with a loss. They are making profit off of you. Do a quick calculation, and figure out if it is really chaper to buy from catshop, or buy gold (from in game coins ofc :0P) and get it from the boutique.

    At this reason I stoped trading with Charms.

    Normal I bought and sold Charms. But as Catshop I do not have any possibility to check if the charms are full or not. I must trust that they are full before I give the bought charm for sale.

    There should be made a possibility that every user can see how full the charm is. And only full charms should be able to trade.

    IN the most cases it is not the fault from the catshop that they sale a not full charm.
