Windian scammers ImProBM and FalseCrisis
I know, [i]I know[/i] most people won't fall for this, but just submitting it so anyone looking up their IGNs for anything else can beware and save their time.
[b]Part one summary:[/b] ImProBM invites you under the guise of making a quitting video, offering to give away his items after having helped him while the other guy feigns interest and tries to sound as though he isn't associated with him.

[b]Part two summary:[/b] They keep up the posturing and try enticing you into a drop game. BM's accomplice pretends to follow through with dropping stuff and ultimately asks you to for the sake of the video.

Thass'it. Bye.
Edit: I wasn't scammed. I just knew what was up and took screencaps early. OK.

meh I won't bother with scammers now. Pretty much people like Serta gets on smega for scamming at least once a month. I tell my alli he scams whenever he smega B>nx. People put his ign up on their shop for scamming in fm, and STILL people like my alli can get scammed by him
Or, this other scammer who makes new char, same class, same hair cut, same old quips. I tell people he scams, and they rather believe him... what the heck.
I quit.
you know what, this is how this game should get rid of nubs. Get scammed, no more meso, and you're done.
It's like nub merch, you buy something overpriced, lose your meso, and that should keep you away from merching for a bit.
Not trying to be mean, but I'm tired of seeing alli/strangers getting scammed by the same freaking scammer. People need to stop getting scammed seriously.
this scam is so old! omg.. nostalgia incoming... i remember about 5 years ago some dudes try to do this to me
thanks for bringing old ms memories back
(drop items, get u into pq and u get ur items picked up=O.G scam)
I wanted to post something like this and I once did on basil. I had a list of around 10 scammers, some of which are still around today, but Basil deleted the thread even if I provided full proofs. Upsetting because people have been telling me even up to today (it's been at least a year since I posted that deleted thread) that they still search up my deleted thread on the google cache page just to see it again to help themselves.
Sadly, these scammer warnings don't help because most of the people on basil/YouTube are very aware of their surroundings. This is evident since they actually know how vouchers work, common scam techniques, and they understand how to sniff out scammers. Scammers tend to hit newbies or beginners or people that just recently returned to the game, all of which don't always check the scammer's background or even visit maplestory forums where the scammer warnings are, so that's why in my opinion, there's no true way to warn people about scammers
[quote=terfil]-__- someone told you to drop your item. That is a clear indication that you are getting jipped.[/quote]
Why are you telling me? o.o I knew it was fishy from the get-go - that's why I took pics early on. I didn't get scammed if that's what you thought. Haven't ever actually.

[quote=BowlCut]lol do people even fall for stuff like this in 2014?[/quote]
As long as people are still missing chromosomes, I guess.
Like I said though, more over it's to have search engines cache their IGNs so if they attempt anything less obvious, people's suspicions could lead them here. No big deal.
