@lily-
She traded it as soon as she recieved it. I know where it is though, I went to feed it as soon as I traded it, and it was already in another person's cove. I am incredibly upset. This is the kind of thing that makes me want to give up. Thanks for the support though lily.

@james-bond
Well, at least you know where it's gone and keep an eye on it. But yeah she shouldn't have lied about the trade. Maybe you should send a ticket. Don't give up though.

I hope it does too. What that person did is not nice. Trading should be done fairly. I'm going to check if this is against the rules.

EDIT :-
I checked and it said, you should only trade with people you trust and they can't help â˜šī¸

@james-bond
I checked the FAQs and it said you should only trade with people you trust and they can't help if you trade to someone and they promise to give your creature back. I think that applies to this as well â˜šī¸

@lily-
I didn't do a 'promise to give their creature back'. That's when you say "I'll trade you this, you have to give it back when you quit". This is an in the moment trade and I haven't got the creatures I traded for. â˜šī¸ And the thing is, I did truse them.

😱 Yeah, there is that big difference. Either way, I hope your ticket works. It's not nice for a persons trust to be broken like that...

@james-bond

I can lend you a freeze for your peeturk Eggcave, though I'd eventually need to be payback. (never got my 1500cc I told you about. So I only have a little)

@james-bond

All trades are final, and whilst it may not be the most fair of things to be done, it happened and you accepted the offer.

I don't mean to blame you, because I'm not. This is entirely the other person's doing and they obviously weren't true to their word, but now that the trade is finished there's nothing you can do but ask them about it. :/

I guess, if anything, this should teach people that double-checking which creatures you've planned to receive in the trade would be the easiest way to avoid anything like this happening again.

I'm sorry to hear this has happened, and I wish there was something I could do to help. â˜šī¸ I just hope you manage to find what you're looking for with the creatures you've got, and make sure to keep the ID of the Gobbler handy so you can check on it even if it's name get's changed. ^^

@James-bond

That person you traded with just scammed you. Scammers are terrible people, but unfortunately I don't think Ian can do much about it.

Edit: Deleted this bit because it might cause drama, even though it happened a few years ago.

I hope something will be done for you, however.

@james-bond

You should always check whether the pets really are waht people say they are, even if you trust someone, sad but true...

Just out of curiosity: who did you trade with? So I know to avoid them and never ever be overly generous to that person.

EDIT: you can pm me if you prefer.

@james-bond
That's just scam. If you really need a frozen peeturk egg, I could give you mine, and you could trade me the unfrozen one. I don't really mind what stage. I don't think Ian can do anything though....

Could you Pm the person to me? I'm avoiding scammers.

@james-bond Maybe you rather not make a scene over it, but you may wanna put their username out there.
For the public.
I would have been ENRAGED.
Putting a scammer out there shouldn't be against the rules.

@balletninja
I agree, putting out a scammers name shouldn't be against the rules. And futhermore, I have talked to others and some have been scammed by the user too. I AM enraged!

But I should put this out too. To the credit of the scammer, they have decided to 'let' me have the frozen peeturk for my unfrozen one. Now, all I need id the frozen Bellato which is still owed.

@pebblestar-nightclan
I'll PM you the user. It's against the rules to post it here.

I agree with @james-bond

You can't call out someone in particular..

EDIT: I think its terribly unfair what the scammer did to you, even blatantly saying it doesn't matter. Hope it all gets resolved soon!

@stellalunagirl Lesser of two evils.
I think this is a very miniscule evil though.

@james-bond pm me also?
