Stolen Plat from Casino , Locuras
 
As title suggests. i bet 500 plat on the typical 575+ doubles casino, random 1000's. From a fellow named Locuras. Who i won and he just straight up logged after the roll. Just wondering if anything can be done.

I do have a screenshot, but i cant figure out how to get the right size to fit on here..

You can petition in the petitions forum.

Also this is one of the oldest scams in the book.
Think about it; with the potential to lose all of your plat due to having to give it out in a payout, who in their right mind would run a casino?

This is easy for gms to verify. Post in petition forum.

You have to be a dumb sob to think you can get away with this. GMs know what accounts you log in with, where you log in from, and (I've heard) can even tell which computer (if you have more than one) you were logged in to.

Upload it to www.imgur.com - it'll resize smaller on the forums automatically but people can click it to see the full size.

its really not much of a scam...i mean, you handed him the plat and he logged. can't come up with a much less clever scam.

keep us posted. i'm curious to see if/when you get any response from him or the money back. good luck.

I think the classic policy was 'all trades are final' ie you just gave away a bunch of money in exchange for nothing.

The GMs on p99 might help you out if you start a petition in the petition section.

They tend to work from the bottom with petitions so don't bump your petition thread or it might never get read.

My last day playing EQ was a guy sitting in a firepot selling a fungi. It was a good price, so I grabbed my life savings and headed for EC. I tried to trade the plat and it fell to the ground like he knew it would. He picked it up and alt+f4'd. Support said they couldn't do anything for me and less than a week later they made it so you couldn't drop coin on the ground. Yay classic.
