{GE} Blacklisted Traders List {GE}
« on: April 08, 2012, 12:32:57 pm »
Well, as many of you may or may not know, my faction deals often with player to player trades. Lately we've had an outrageous influx of scammers here on the forums, so in the interest of keeping people safe and sane, I've decided to publish Gorgon Enterprises blacklisted trader list. If you feel someone should be on this list, please post here or pm me a screenshot, log, or witness account of a scam-in-progress. Please do not spam good traders here, all entries are reviewed carefully, as slander is against company policy.
*Note: I'm making this because having the post in Auction seems out of place and it was getting spammed.

Known Scammers:
Express (Caught Selling Bogus BPs and Highwaymen-Presently Banned)
E-M-O (Selling fake BPs, not committing to an auction)
Grimmi (Selling bogus BPs)
Tost (selling Bogus BPs)
Piercing (Selling bogus BPs)
SmurfAttack (Selling bogus cars and BPs)
Jacky (Puppeting a Scam account)
Mr.Pepper (Res Account)
Bonesaw (Another Res Account)

Suspected Scammers:
Gimper

Fortunately, we here at GE have made many fantastic business contacts and would like to recommend these traders   

Gorgon Enterprises Trusted Traders:
Balthazar (Bought a Plasma Rifle from him while I was writing this :P)
kiravanburen (Sold drugs to him)
Boatshift (Bought 10 hides, sold 20)
MRTrader (Bought 10 hides)
Codave (Bought several BPs, and assorted whatnots, great guy)
MaliceSong (Bought Junk)
Gob (Bought Cockroach)
likeyoucare (Never personally traded with, but I've heard enough good things)
Dark_Angel (Same as above)
Whokilledbambi (Leader of the crafter's union and all around good Samaritan)
Hects Hakal (Bug reporter and good trader)
racoon (sold numerous items)

BenK, i have a suggestion (this does not apply to people you already trust):

Consider using an empty base as a "trading post" location. If you take payments in advance it means nobody can ever gank you. With no way to gank you, you won't need a black list. I hate black lists because they can be endless - any single player can be on that list a hundred times with all different chars and the burden is always on you to keep updating the list.

Instead, ditch the need for any list at all, and get payments in advance. You stash the payment and then you take the client to your trading post where they pick up the item(s) they bought, in an otherwise empty base. No way to gank you, no need for mercs, no need for protection from friends, and no need for a black list.

You could do this now since you already have a good reputation - people are learning they can trust you. This is how i plan to run my warehouse, so we could establish a standard.

I have 175% speech skill  (The highest is apparently the best trustable now) and people still won't trade with me in such a fashion, whenever I consider to them such a proposal.

Seriously, talk about paranoid O.o.

Btw, this is possibly the scammiest of the scammest eras I've ever seen.

Nobody is going to trust you if you say pay me in advanced. If somebody said ok I'll trade you this item but you have to trade in advanced I would look for a differnt seller.

LOL How long have the chosen soldiers been at it... The Chosen Frauders.
