Thread: Forced Bank Tip To Doctor Need Advice

SEEKING ADVICE


A friend who is a Doctor on Ahazi just had an incident that I've never seen before on here.


A person wanting a buff in a starport claimed to have cash tipped 11,000 and the system never registered it and the bank never acknowledged any bank tip. The player was disgruntled and alledgedly filed a report with customer service.


Now it gets interesting.


This player starts forcing a 50,000 bank tip into the account of the doctor. The doctor tells the player privately and publicly that he does not want this player's business and will not accept any bank or cash tip from here on. The doctor put the player on ignore, and yet the player continually tried to force the 50,000 serveral times into the doctor's bank account.


How can these forced bank credits be stopped? Doesn't "ignore" automatically stop any interaction between players?

How should this situation be handled/resolved from here on?


This really puts a bad taste in my mouth for wanting to grow up to be a Master Doctor on Naboo. Please help.

I would file a report too, just in case... well in any case it will be investigated if the guy really did. Ignore stops mails I believe, so he may have not received the mails but the money anyway... did he notice an increase in his bank account?

let me get this straight he tipped him and then your friend returned the money??? Or how exactly do you force a tip on someone. If I told someone not to tip me and they did anyway, I just take my clothes off and hug them put my clothes on and smile.


If your friend was tipping him bakc there is a good chance your friend was getting scammed by the other erson tipping real money once and holo emotes the other times which made ur friend believe he was tipped for real.


The scam works this way, customer makes issue of the smallest thing tips you really money demands service, you tip him back. Then he tips with the new holo thing you tip him back again but this time you actually tipped him back your own money.

I think he means the '/emote tips you 10000 credits' scam, which is easy to catch if you're paying attention.

Im the Doctor that chianne is speaking about. Heres what happened. I was buffing at Coronet starport when this guy comes up and begins to meditate near me. I have a few cllients come up, bank tip the 11k and I buff them in BT order. The the meditating guys asks when his turn is because he tipped me. I then check my email.. nothing from him there, I then check my cash on hand and all I have there is 10k , which I had before I began buffing at the starport.


I recieved no bank tip or where there any credits placed into my in cash total. If there were I would have buffed the guy and wished him well. My assumption was that he tried to get over on me. He sends me a tell saying **edit** I tippped you after I tell him I didnt get any tip from him, eitther bank or normal and says that he will file a report. I say go ahead and file a report I didnt recieve your your 11k.


I then go on to buff a few more players that paid for my services. In a few minutes the guy tells me againa nd says report filed. I reply back good , say hello to ignore and I place him on ignore. Then the 50k bank tip comes into my email - its from the Bank nota player so I assume its a real transfer and read it, Its from my ignore guy and it says that he just 50k was just deposited into my account . I bank tip it back to him. Well this happened 2 more times. I dont need this guys business nor do I want it now.


I dont think I was scammed out of 150k by him but I will check my bank account and see. All I can say is that this guy is on my blacklist and he should be on yours as well. I dont run a charity and I have expenses like everyone else and I really dont need sort of crap after all the time and money I have invested into becoming a Master Doc.


Did I do the rightt thing, or should I have buffed this clown just to get him out of my face and if I was ripped off for 150k what should I do next, report him?


Thanks everyone

yeah, all you can do is report, but not sure how much that would help since you gave him the money with our own will.

I had several people who came up asked price... claim they tipped me and demand a buff... after I refused they raised a big fuss and I had the next person step around and kept buffing.

On the first occassion they guy claims he is /report me I bid him good luck and continue on... about 30 mins later this happens again... the guy then sends me a gmail with tip and explains he didn't realize but he got a message back about insufficient funds on his person so the tip didn't work. Later on I got a couple gmails from the original guy with 4 deposits of the buff ammount. Yet he was insistant that he /tip me. I guess he was trying to cover his tracks to bolster his /report. I kept the credits and am sure if something does come of this they will look at the time stamps and politely tell the guy to get lost.

I think more realistically, the person tried doing /tip <amount> <name> without realizing they didn't have the cash on hand. So they get uppity thinking they 'did' tip you, when in fact they have to use /tip <amount> <name> bank, when the money is really in their bank account.


Basically I think it's a case of mistaken identity mam.

If someone was attempting that with me, I'd inform him in spatial and in email that any further "tips" bank or normal tips would be considered donations since you don't want his business. Once that happens if he/she/it insists on trying to "force" you to buff them, they've been informed further tips would be a donation and therefore free of obligation to you. Perfectly legal, if the csr's get involved you have email and spatial proof, that and yer now 150+k richer. muahahahaha

ever since i heard about the bank tip scam, the copy of an email sent to you one. I write everything down..


before i buff ill write down say 100k/43k (pocket/bank respectivly) i leave inventory open and monitor my cash balance. when i see they have tipped i start the buffing. then i change what ive written down to 100k/53k, scoring out the one previous to this. i do this untill i give up or run out of buffs..


my buff macro spam states not to tip until its your turn, when it comes to their turn i say, ok ready when you are, im watching my cash balance.. I have buffed for quite some time now, and have never received any scams of anysort..


on top of this i have changed my system message colour to orange, this allows me to easily see if ive been tipped in the spatial window...
