gaia gift scam

damn! i was tricked by that Im_Your_Tiger! i sent an admin in gaia a PM which states,


Admin,

good day! im here to report an act which i consider theft because a certain promise or deal was not done accordingly. allow me to narrate to u what had happened.


Im_Your_Tiger (the thief) and i (gummybeans22) met yesterday in a gift giving thread and made a deal that we will exchange our items. he will give me his joker wand and i will give him my momo the monkey. later this afternoon, i logged in and got a PM from him asking me what color of the box would i want the joker wand to be in. so i told him that i want it in a yellow green box with a green bow. i asked him too. afterwards, i sent him the momo just as like the deal. i waited for sometime. then i got this message from NPC-Rina. Rina told me to check my inventory and so i did. i found the gift and opened it. Then there was a question asking me if i really want to open it and so i clicked "Yes". then all of a sudden, there was some sort of general error telling me that something didnt match. when i got back in my inventory, the gift wasnt in there, neither was there a joker wand! i even checked tektek for the calculation of my items whether i just didnt see the wand there or what! but it really isnt there anymore nor was the gift!


i tried contacting Im_Your_Tiger for confirmations but it seem like he put me in his ignored list because i can no longer PM him. i cant comment on his profile and i cant send trade with him. But other gaians can. i felt already that there has been some kind of theft going around and so i also clicked the "report this PM" button. i also asked help from ~~xXEl3KtRaXx~~ and she told me that i should contact a mod. She recommended you to me since you also helped her before. according to her, you helped her gain her account back. and so im hoping, i can also get my momo back from that guy or if possible, i want our deal to be done! im looking forward to your reply. i hope u can help me regarding this matter.


sincerely yours,

meee
