    So, when is the "proper time" to note that you have been scammed? Because apparently waiting 24 hours and asking if anybody knows the person is inconsiderate and I should consider things like whether or not it is night time for the person. OK, Good point! But if it were in fact a time that he could not -LOG ON- why would he gladly accept 450m for 3 HOURS of leech and only PROVIDE 15 minutes? ( i searched his name whenever i had a chance within the 24 hrs)

    In retrospect I have people telling me it's my fault, like I should only buy leech when I'm going to be there and attentive..., doesn't that defeat the purpose of leech? I work all day monday through friday and with the little time I have to play I try to be progressive, I don't want to spend my 3~4 hours a day watching somebody train me? who does? So when is the proper time to note that you've been scammed? I'm not even trying to get my money back or anything I just wanted to see if I could get in contact with the person by smegaing if anyone knew said person, a level 190 i/l mage must be known right? In the case that I wasn't able to get in contact with said person I wanted to warn other people so they'd have a standing chance.

    It is recommended to take screenshot of the agreement / transaction before paying the person for the leech

    Supposed if get scam and the person did not contact or login back within 1 to 3 days (you can decide the duration, can be 3 hours), you may upload the screenshot + details at Community Blacklist

    If the person did contact you and stated it was a misunderstanding for reasons such as
    - Network went down
    - Urgent business came up
    - Laptop no battery
    And the person has refunded you

    Strikeout the post at Community Blacklist and clarify that it was a misunderstanding and has been resolved

    Note: Not sure what the people mean by only buy leech if you gonna be there or attentive as you can't really stop someone from leaving the map.

    I've never seen your seller name smega for sell leech before. Maybe he use that char just for scam people? -.-'
    And if you buy petri next time should find a seller lower lvl. Lvl 190 sell 150m/h is overprice i think ...

    It's been 3 days since and no word from said leecher, I do believe it is safe to say that I was scammed. I didn't think it'd be necessary to screenshot a level 190 i/l mage but anyhow his ign is OsitoPuIGoso or OsitoPulGoso cant tell which one is infact the i/l because he hasnt logged, his HS mule is adeliiita and the character he whispered me on to initially start the deal was iZaMazuFP. I recommend staying away from said players, I have no screenshots so there's obviously no proof but tread with caution! 450m lost
