Just a warning those unfamiliar with trading

[Rabidsponge]

Make sure you have a middle man if at all possible, and better yet stick to trading with test members so you don't end up like me and loose your Hull D thinking your getting a Banu MM. :(

Reddit?

 

[Liquor_and_ores]

why would you trade for a BMM when you could get one during the next anniversary sale, or CCU a LTI Hull A to a BBM

:/

that sucks bro

 

[Eiyron]

Suggest you contact Concierge or CS IMMEDIATELY. you never know, they might help you out

 

[Annitias]

Contact CIG, They may help

Or ban the jerk who scammed you at the very least.

 

[SeungRyul]

CIG can definitely help. Also if you did trade through /r/Starcitizen_trades contact the mods immediately (they have good channels with CIG also).

 

[CaptainRichard]

Bummer, man. I hope it works out for you.

 

[GrammarGestapo]

Aye, trading is dangerous. The more valuable the trade, the more temptation to cheat. Hope it works out.

 

[Snowianth]

wew, that sucks. hope you get you ship back or at least some revenge to the scammer

 

[DontTouchMyHoHos]

I had the same issue with reddit via paypal. Contacted paypal and got my money back. Use a middleman.

I've been robbed by a reputable member of Test, and he has since left the org with my stuff and never paid. So don't think people here are any better than anywhere else. Your chances of success may improve but there's always risk anywhere you go. If you're dealing in internet sales directly with individuals, you should take payment first before you send anything or stick to official retailers.

Have a friend, got an LTI Reedemer on Star Trader Reddit grey market. Haven't hear any complaints.

 

[Doozie]

Damn man, I'm very sorry to hear this happen. I would agree with the contact CIG idea, it's absolutely worth a shot.

Should have gotten his/her phone number first and maybe facebook. Asking for an address is too much
Then if it happens, which is now pretty unlikely, you can show up on their front door and kill them.

I promised your fearless leaders that I wasn't going to publicly condemn the guy. He's no longer in the Org. The moral of the story is you trust nobody unless you're willing to take a loss. @Yex, I have all his information, but as I've learned from being burned on Ebay for a $1,000 CPU that never shipped a few years ago, the police won't do much for you. They'll at best track the guy down, help you get a case together to sue. Caveat is you will have to fie in their state. In this case, $200 isn't worth the trouble for me. Just keep all this in mind. Being in Test is free, and nobody is obligated to integrity here or anywhere that doesn't keep the leverage of the trade at least equal for both parties. The SC Gray Market is an enormous risk for buyers.

Who said anything about legal help.
Just put his car on bricks and sell those tires to reclaim your money.

I like your style boo
