Diren is a scam artist, he purchased Faction Points from me, then started this OMG I got lagggggggPing is 3000, I'll bank tip you. he sent 35k instead of 350k....He has disregarded all my tells and emails....he needs FP's for Rebel Armor to Bio link it.
I know it's my fault for trusting him but I've done it many times with honest players with no Problems.....not with jerks like DIREN!!!!
So you are all advised do not deal with him or do so at your own risk.

This is a reportable offence(as I understand EULA).
You made a deal with annother player and he did not honor it. It is the same as theft.
report him. If you have any screenshots it will greatly help your case.

I did and apparently that scared him into paying up.....also the help of friends sending him tells about it

Situations like this are whyI require payment in advance on faction point sales. I actually had a guildmate stiff me on a sale a while back and ever since then I've required payment first.

The customer always pays up front. This should be every Smuggler's cardinal rule.
When I sell faction, the customer pays in full before I even declare.
When I slice, the customer doesn't get his gear back until I'm paid in full.
Some may consider me cynical but I can honestly say I've never been shafted on a deal this way.

You have now learned the 'payment before transfer' rule.
Welcome to Smuggler.
That aside, most people are honest and would pay after you transfer but my (and many others) rule is 'pay first or no deal'.
Some people don't like that and won't pay first, but I'd rather lose the 100k profit than the 500k of faction points.
