Oh my god Im an idiot

So a few days ago I was trying to sell nx to bagzofmilk, a rich high level guy, and usually I have people pay first, but I decided to be a little more loose about it, and gifted him first. I gifted him a cube, and I got a notification that said something like "There was an error with your request...you will be given a refun." I got a fame with it, and I thought it was odd that refund was spelled wrong, but I remembered that Nexon is famous for their spelling errors so I ignored it. After a few times of regifting him the cube to see if it would work, it didn't, so he picked some other items like a vip hair color, tim's lab, other cubes, and other stuff I don't remember, to see if the cube was glitched. I got that same error message everytime.
Later, I tried selling someone else nx, and it surprisingly worked. I sold nx to other people, and it worked everytime. Whenever someone recieved their item I got a notification that sent me a message from the buyer, and a fame. I suddenly realized that bagzofmilk totally scammed my butt of more than 20k nx without me even knowing it. He typed that "error" message into the note, and I totally fell for it. fml

Edit: I DID NOTICE THAT MY NX WAS DECREASING, but I know Nexon screws up alot, and the message did say that I'd get a refund so I thought nothing of it.

When you see "you will be given a refund", you should know its a scam

I know I wasn't thinking

Edit: I just assumed that the little green notification popped up anytime you tried to gift someone. I also forgot about the times when I couldn't gift something and got actual errors in the cash shop. Obviously I haven't been selling nx for that long

Lol thank you. I didn't know if the character count was limited or not because I never get gifted either

Unfortunately I may have shown people another way to scam and it may be used on slow non basil users

[quote=Pilgramage]Definitely a clever scammer.

And I'm assuming you didn't think the refunds would be instantaneous, right? That's why you didn't think much of the NX going down.[/quote]

Right. I was thinking about giving it a week or so, until my genius brain finally caught on to the scam

[quote=punx]Are you sure it's that short? I've been thinking about it and I'm pretty sure he left out the D in refunD because he ran out of space, and although I do not have any proof I can assure you it did happen. Hopefully he doesn't have a basil and I can gift him something cheap and get a photo. >.<[/quote]

Sorry to hear but lol all the same :l[/quote]

I know it was stupid because if there really was an error, the transaction would've been stopped in the cash shop before I lost any NX. I really wasn't thinking.

Clever guy...an ass, but a damn clever one. This is one of the rare situations where I can't say it was entirely your fault for falling for it. He did a good scamming job there.

Haha, but no seriously. I think we have all gotten scammed at least once. But if it was consistent, I would of been like "Pay me anyway"

[quote=ExpiredMilk]I'm confused. You can send notes to other people...? o__o[/quote]

It is required to type a message to the other person when gifting them. The person recieving the item can leave you a message, but they don't have to.
