Have you heard it from a GM, is the question? "A number of people" is an irrelevant source, especially since CCP has quite explicitly said that PLEX scams are entirely within the rules.

That is really funny.
You did get your money's worth though. He taught you a very valuable lesson. I'm sure you'll pay attention next time.

Originally by: Rakshasa Taisab Today I met this nice gentleman in Jita who offered to give away ISK, for FREE! All I had to do was send him any sum of my choosing, and he'd return it threefold. Sounded weird, but he was probably just checking that I wasn't some n00bie that had yet to get into the game properly. (Getting a ton of money straight after starting would kinda ruin the gaming experience)
You might ask, why would anyone wish to give away hundreds of millions to complete strangers? Rather fishy, I must admit. Turns out he was the Alt of that guy that destroyed BoB and took all their stuff! Wow!
I'm currently waiting for my ISK to be transfered back. Should earn me some 200M from this. Might take a couple of hours, as I imagine he's swamped by requests since he did after all have 300 trillion ISK to give.
You are naive, ignorant and stupid all rolled into one. ==================================================

Have you heard it from a GM, is the question? "A number of people" is an irrelevant source, especially since CCP has quite explicitly said that PLEX scams are entirely within the rules.
I acknowledged that the fact that I could be wrong on this issue, and advised the opening of a petition, based on what I've heard (from people who reported to me that they HAD been petitioned btw).
There is nothing wrong with filing a petition when in doubt. End of story.

Originally by: Yakia TovilToba So, you was scammed for 70$ on the internet. Contact your lawyer, explain him your case and see what happens.
Except that he wasnt.. He spent those $70 on the plex's, which he correctly recieved from CCP ingame. What he does with the plex's after he bought them, even if being stupid and accepting a contract for a lower price than he wanted to sell em at, is his own issue ^_^
If you buy a cellphone and then trades it to a stranger for a cookie, the store that sold you the cellphone wasnt the scammer ^_^

Edited by: Ris Dnalor on 24/02/2009 04:58:00 The point is this:
CCP retains ownership of all in-game items. It's in the EULA. Once you buy an in-game item (a PLEX) with real life cash, you have created something that CCP owns, but allows you to use within the game. A Plex cannot be stolen or scammed from you, as you do not have ownership of it... CCP does. The plex is still within CCP's game and is still being used by a paid subscriber (albeit a different paid subscriber), after it is scammed from you.
That's the rationale you're up against. You don't own it, therefore you cannot be scammed out of it. A GTC, on the other hand exists OUTSIDE of the game CCP has created and therefore is a whole other story.

CCP should ban anyone that scams ETC, I've lost over 10k USD this way because of faulty game mechanics which don't protect my investment properly. I'm currently working with a team of lawyers to pursue litigation against CCP and these scammers due to their obvious theft of my hard earned money.

Help?
What exactly do you want us to do?
It kinda sucks, and we all get that slow, sinking realisation that we have just been a complete idiot sometimes, but you really should have read the contract carefully.
There isn't really anything you can do about it; it's an accepted game mechanic.

I actually wonder how a case like this would be in court....
companies and shops make up all sorts of user-agreements etc. But making such an agreement doesn't mean its legit. And that you can use it like a law...
There have bin several cases in wich user-agreements have bin forfeited by judges ...
making the point of 'ccp owns your rl $' not that viable ...
