Re: Appfan3,s Step-By-Step on how to deal with scams

Step one: Get Scammed
Step two: Cry like a baby
step three: log off
step four: Throw ur device in a river
step five: Go home
step six: Go do something useful for someone outside.

Being scammed is pretty much impossible. 95% of the time people are just careless.


Also, step 3 is unnecessary :?

I prefer not to be scammed and wrote a guide. Applies to ch and many mmo

Since many players don't have much mmo experience, here is a guide to never getting scammed:

0) Trust NO ONE not even yourself.

1) Trust NO ONE not even yourself.

2) Never give out any account information for any reason. Never post a video with it accidentally showing. Never use it for any other application or service.

3) Never use your login information on any application or website except the official Celtic heroes app on your device. All other sources asking for it are scamming attempts.

4) Do not lend anything ever for any reason to anyone even to friends or clan mates; if you do expect it to never to come back to you. You never really know who is logged on that account. They may be someone with a similar name made up solely to scam. Always check the level, class and clan before trading.

5) Never dice. Do not give money to dicers they will lure you in with a few small sums then take your big bet and run. never dice with a low level they are fake accounts and scam constantly. Never dice with high levels as players do not level honesty with their character. Never host dicing people will harass you and accuse you of scamming and give you a huge headache.

6) Never trade items when you are not certain of the value.

7)Double and triple check the trade window. Examine the text in the chat from adding removing trade items. People will bait and switch with similar looking items - absolutely never trade quickly always examine the items. Due to current bugs in trading never trade more than 6 items if you are on an old format size device (iphone4,4s,5c,6se,ipod5) Always count the number of zeroes. Accomplish everything in one trade or don't do the trade. There is no guarantee of people doing anything once that first window closes.

8) if you world transfer you will be scammed over half the time. If you have to do it sell all items first and only transfer gold. Do this safely using micro transactions. For example if you want to transfer 250k trade 5k at a time, 50 times. Then you cannot be scammed more than 5k. It helps to use two devices so this can be done more quickly. People who want to do large sums are inevitably scammers, take the additional time to prevent large sums being scammed.

9) protect yourself against people trying to imitate you by making level 1 alts with your name but all lower case letter L replaced with the number 1 and vice versa. Take up all similar names before scammers do this and trick people and try to ruin your rep and scam your friends. If the alternative name is taken warn everyone that someone with that name is going to make scamming attempts.

10)Never buy or sell accounts. Not only is this against the TOS but it's a scam 50% of the time. More than that if somehow you do get the account the previous owner will turn you in once they get the money and you will be banned. It's a horrible idea and always ends badly. Same for buying items or gold with real money.

11) never share accounts. You never know when that person will flake out on you and change all your account details and keep everything. It's against the TOS as well and you can be banned. I've seen people act normal for years in another mmo then suddenly flake out and take everything. It's a recipe for disaster.

12) never ask people to transfer items or gold within the same world. That is what the mail system is for. A level 1 can farm enough to get enough stamps to transfer a ton of stuff in just a few minutes.
