You used the trade window to trade with someone you don't know IRL. This is 100% your own fault.

First in before the move
You are the bad guy its people like you who keep the scammers around. If you would take the time to read contracts and not trade through the trade window, these scams would die. But no you let you greed get to you. And how did this guy know you had 2 plex? Odds are you where talking about it in local, way to keep secure.
In the end you fail at life unsub and give me all your stuff

Did you bother reading the forum rules too? This thread should be in crime and punishment not GD.
Another thing you FAILED to read.

If you needed the plex why did you even consider selling them in the first place? Also what does telling us you got scammed accomplish exactly? Don't advertise your an idiot and people won't treat you like one.
On the plus side you'll be harder to scam in the future.
Does anyone else here ever find themselves fighting the urge to treat people on Facebook the way they treat their fellow capsuleers? |

best thing you can do is remove yourself from jita and never engage with anyone via private trades and convos in jita, infact close local when in jita, sorry for your loss you need to move on and learn from it, everyone is out to scam someone else

Eve University has a good article on the various scams.
Won't get you your money back, but may help you avoid scams in the future.
As far as the attitude in Jita, it's the worst of the systems, worse than Barrens Chat if you're familiar with that. Also, one of the scams is pretending to be a newbie to get handouts, so that's partly why you may have been laughed at; nobody believes you're a newbie in Jita.
For PLEX or other valuable items, my recommendation would be to create a Caldari alt and move him/her to Jita to the 4-4 station where everything gets sold. That way, whenever you have PLEX or when CCP gives various gifts, you can claim them with the Jita alt and they'll be already in station ready to be sold off.
Don't use the manual trade window, as it is open to a scam where the other player can change the payout at the last second. Instead, read up on how to use the market interface and sell your PLEX or whatever on the market. You will have to pay the market taxes and fees, so you will need about 8-10 million ISK in your wallet before being able to sell the PLEX.
You can easily make that amount by doing the tutorial missions (to get some ships) and/or mining in the starter systems. |

Why would I GO to Jita and open a trade window when I can have all of his stuff via contracts and then sell of the useless stuff and have 3rd party haulers haul the stuff I want/need? It's more efficient that way.

Well im on his side, just look at this from other perspective: You'r new and You just want to use one of the (as name saying "trade") main game tools. There's no info about that such a scams can have place (i mean no info about mechanic of that tool, not even anything about scams in game advertising hehe). What other game have something like this? (nope it's not what it makes it good). It's like You would buy for $ some weapon skin in FPS, and when You aplly to it some stuff like scope the skin disappeared forever, and there was no info about it in game itself. Won't be surprise if thing like this could get under consumer law for compensation. Overall i think no matter what if EVE want to exist more than few years the scam system in eve will dasappear some day or there will be clear info about it. Everything changes |

Because that's what you just did in Jita.

Jump on the forums with a target painted on myself. I should get the sympathy that I deserve there! Right?"
My first inclination is that this thread is a scam for sympathy ISK.

Oh look, the circle of fail continues because CCP doesn't simply expectation-level with new players.
How tantalizing to now wonder if this player quits, or if CCP implements a hisec mechanics fix to the trade window perhaps, to now respond to this travesty...
sigh.

cash your paycheck? little kiddies like you shouldnt talk, because you obviously never had paycheck. nobody can cash it except yourself, so nobody can take your money. even if it was possible, the situation is not even close to trade window scam. trade window scam is like you selling something on a real-life market, a guy comes to buy, shows that he has the money, you hand over the goods and he hands you the money, but he manages to hide the majority of it in his sleeve or something. and before you notice it, he has the goods and disappears. only in real life he doesnt disappear, he is there to either give you the rest of the money, the goods back or get the crap beat out of him. trade window scam has no analogy in real life. but dont let that make climb off of your high horse since you either were a trade window scam victim or read about it in the forums, like I did. |

Were not laughing at you because we think youre the bad guy. Were laughing at you because you were an idiot. Theres a reason why the Jester is called "The Fool".
And if you were going to use that plex for renewing your subscription, why did you trade it away to begin with? That doesnt make sense, and makes me wonder if youre just trying to draw up sympathy so that people will gift you plex or free isk. |
