Hey, I just got scammed out of an invite on p2pt.queroumforum.com. I really want to get that asshole banned, to the point of telling the staff that he got the account by trading. So I was wondering, if I do this what will happen to my other invites and and the person who invited me? Will they be banned as well?
pm sent
Is anyone here close with a mod/admin of sct who could help out?
I'm sorry bro for ur lost
and I think so.. everyone will get banned
yeah, these scammers are more and more annoying, i got scammed out of an oink account today
Damn it! I went them to go, but I'm not about to get the guy who invited me and my other invitees banned.Quote:

yeah, that's why when u trade good accs and invites it's good to have a middleman
Then I guess we should completely eradicate the invites section? Nah man, sometimes you need to trade too. Plus it's fun, like trading cards. But not when there's some wine bitch who grabs your cards and runs away.Quote:

This is partly true because i got invite to PT and SCN from friends, and i'm waiting on an FTN account from another friend, you just have to know the right people and invites will come, but trading is neccesary in some casesQuote:

Feel with you m8. That sucks
What's really pissing me off is that not every time I go to my profile, I see those 2 assholes there. It's like their constantly mocking me. I just hope they can't keep their ratios and end up getting the boot.
:lol: i feel for youQuote:

u should have gone to a middleman. anyway good luck
who dont u tell SCT mods that u invited a cheater by mistake? tell them that he is afriend of yours but u realized that hes cheating in other trackers, and that your the one that is responsable for ur invitees and u want him to get banned and you dont want to get awarning/ban becuz of himQuote:

I would advise you not to talk to any admin/mod/sysop because you were trading and you'll get banned. The only thing you can do is advise other people in this/other forum/s not to trade with that guy. Maybe catch him in offside at another trade and tell the staff from that site that he got the account by trading.
it sucks but u know the risks
That's why you don't trade... :P
Sucks for you man, just be careful in the future and use a middleman.
I also have that in my mind as a possibility, but his ratio isn't good enough for that to be plausible.Quote:

So, did you just learn this? I see that you have been part of a trade at least 12 times.Quote:

Appreciate that, but it looks like I will have to accept that they have gotten away with it. I can't goto the mods because Everyone I've invited as well as the person who invited me will be banned. It's just sickening that these people have no shame. look at the message one sent meQuote:

if I get banned form Sct, so will you for inviting me so too bad
I am really sorry for you loss my friend. :cry:
You have been one of the most trustworthy, reliable and generous members I have met here.
I can't do anything about those scammers but I would do anything to make up for your loss. :(
Damn mbucari...I'm really sorry, but it's not the end of the world...like African children dying of hunger. So let's just go on with our lives ;).
yes...trade only with middleman,because if you go first the other one when he sees the invite in his mailbox then he thinks that he would win more if he don`t send you the invite so this is such a bad thing...sorry for you and hope you learned you lesson
Your absolutely right. This is not a tragedy, but it has really pissed me off. I think I'm over it now.Quote:

In regards to this post.... in simple terms for my protection in the future. How did you get scammed? were you meant to swap invites and you sent yours and he never sent his? Should i never trade to be safe but then how would i ever get an invite. Thanks for any advice guys.... sorry im new.
I kind of got all my accts only through trading.But there have been ppl helping me occsionally.And yes the topmost USEFULL tracker is now comming t me for free.
Srry for ur loss bro.
What are you talking about, dude? I've never "traded". Rep Points were given to me by 1. random people seeing the generosity and kindness of another, 2. people who give a point for no reason, and 3. people who give another a reputation point as a thank-you for an invite/account given. Some people here even trades a Rep point for a Rep point, while begging for one. I don't like the system, either.Quote:

I've always been against "trading", so, again, I have no idea what you are talking about.
Don't NEVER trade, but be more cautious than I have been. When going into a trade, wear your cynics hat. Yes, I sent the invite and he never responded. Of course, this wasn't on FST, but it has and does happen here as well. Just be careful. I should have used a middleman and also should have requested proof that he had membership to that tracker. But This is not the end of the world. I still have my account. Although I'm peeved, I will still trade again. However, next time I will be a bit wiser and much more cautious.Quote:

I kinda know how you feel I got screwed trying to setup a group buy on a site and sent money to a fukin cocksucka that claimed to be purchasing the material... Anyway chalk it up as a loss and now you are MUCH WISER they can fool you once but NOT TWICE...
Well, lets hope.Quote:

I see the point trying to obtain invites to TL, BitME, OiNK, BitmeTV, and maybe even the oh so prestigious FTN. But what is more to it? Fun? The "Adrenaline Rush"? ROFLMAO (@ Niteghost)Quote:

Oh, and not to mention a TOTALLY RANDOM member here just HANDED an invite to FTN a couple weeks ago. I was actually shell shocked, but took it anyways with grace. :D
I started with only a BitSoup when my friend introduced me to BitTorrent, then I came across this site - in which a very generous member gave me a TL invite. I was pretty ecstatic. I just kept my honest self in this forum and contributed by posting helpful and useful stuff to new guys. Then I ended up with an OiNK invite by one of the greatest dudes here (Manker). So I became a PU+ at OiNK, and began giving out invites to cool and honest guys who deserved it. I thought I was set after receiving some more invites to other trackers, and gave away more invites/accounts in the process.
So.. Life (well, actually Torrent) lesson of the day. Just be honest, keep cool, contribute, give back to the community, and all your wishes will come flying to ya. :happy:
Thanks for the reply guys. Ok i shall carefully trade, will do as you suggest and give any invites i come across, out to people that seem cool and honest. Thanks again for your help. Its a great website, i dont start any new posts as everytime i have a question, i search and find its been asked and answered. very helpful people around. :-)
Well said. I really don't trade that often, but it is fun to try other trackers occasionally to see what's out there.Quote:

I'm sorry for that, mbucari. I guess next time if you're going to trade, let the other guy send the invite first if he's offering something not as good as you are. Anyways, hope you good luck in trading for the future.
what a wonderful story! :)Quote:
