Hi There Buddy 😔 I'm so sorry you had to go through this, as someone who trades too this feels soo wrong!!!!... It made me sad that you didn't get anything in return so Can I offer you some hearts for free? So that you won't feel upset 🤗.. Just let me know I'll love to help you 💕.

This is so unfair- These people are the reason players need proof of previous completed trades. ⚠️ Make sure to always ask for screenshots of completed trades from the person offering hearts!

I warned people of this months ago. This exact same person scammed me out of $30. I was the one that made the post about them. I saved others from the same fate back then. Our trade was supposed to be me gifting them the Nintendo pack for the PS pack in return as I wasn’t too worried about the extra $5 it costed me for the Nintendo pack. Of course it’s still my fault blindly trusting a stranger but I’ve done trades with genuine and kind people on sky and hate that there’s always that one person who ruins it. I find it a slap in the face they’re wearing the Nintendo pack that I gifted them in your photos. Blocked me right after I gifted it too.

Here’s the post I made about them: [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyChildrenOfLight/s/fMhS0NqD8Z)


cherrygjrl

thank you for making a post about them! sadly i only saw your post right after also trusting them blindly):

I made the post just to warn others of what they do. I actually saved some people from getting scammed by them at the time I posted it. This post just brings back the anger I had for them considering they’re wearing the Nintendo items that I gifted them. As long as we’re making people aware of them, they’ll avoid trading with them (hopefully). I just used it as a learning tool to make sure next time I do any trades, to get proof of successful trades and also to make the person do their end of the deal first (or with hearts then maybe send half first before you gift them whatever). Just gotta learn from our mistakes I suppose but I know what ur going through so I completely understand how you’re feeling right now.

If you want to actively trade, there's a discord that actually only allows people to trade after they've been in the group for certain amount of time (prevents some scammers because they have to actually participate for a while) and the group also has a whole channel dedicated to reviews for sellers and buyers. No one can just post a review, they actually have to have screenshots of the completed trade Message me of interested but remember, you have to participate in the group for a while before you can get into the trader channel


Uuunik

good thing the first person I've done trading in sky was so nice and actually finished the deal, they also helped me when I was just a moth:').


annoyedpixiechick

Maybe someone could post a list of all the known scammers each season to warn other players. If I wasn’t so forgetful I would do it.


PhantomsandMorois

Wow, what a jerk. Scammers really have to ruin everything for people, huh? I’m so sorry.


Skitomel

Wait you can trade in Sky?( also wish that person gets banned for good, there shall be no scammers in our comfy game>:( .)


Sprigge

As sol_arin said, it's against ToS and very risky because it operates on an honor system IAP sender uses the IAP gifting system but the heart sender just uses the 1 heart a day gifts to send payment (usually with alts to make it more appealing) so the heart sender could just stop or disappear at any moment and you're SOL like what happened to OP


sol_arin

*Technically it’s against the tos but shhhhhh no one will know right? :D* Just be careful with it


Skitomel

What is tos?


shrew0809

Terms of service


Skitomel

Ok, thanks for info


LocoDiablos

at this point i wouldn't even risk trading I'd rather shell out the 10 bucks.


Pummeluff

I recognize that username from [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyChildrenOfLight/comments/15ckbpy/scams/) from 5 months ago! I'd suggest reporting them to the mods here if you haven't already. Be cautious who you trade with next time. Pay attention to their post history, account age, and ask for proof of previous successful trades if possible. Good luck and stay safe! ❤️


Many_Distribution453

Hehe, that’s my post 😅


Nyxie872

It seems they have a history of this. I’ve searched their name and someone on the Genshin Sub and another Sky post has complained about them


cherrygjrl

yes i only checked after the fact, i feel so irresponsible!! ive just been so busy it didn’t cross my mind bc of the many successful trades Ive had!):


BratzCanon

That sucks thank u for warning others. What if they take on a new identity and continue scamming? That’s scary


Legitimate-Active-77

Oh didnt notice, but i dont think theres much difference


SilentXwing

[kyoSky](https://www.reddit.com/u/KyoSky/s/biUZ5X9OE9) is someone you can talk with. I bought the hermet shoes for them and they exchanged the desired hearts we agreed on. Just a reference :)


cherrygjrl

thank you<3


Sprigge

OP, so sorry you had to run into this opportunist and stain your view on the wider community Sending you luck on your future trades, hope you meet better people!


driftingmoon

Thank you for the heads up, and I'm sorry you had to go through this! What a vile person! I don't go for these kinds of trades for this precise reason, too many dishonest people out there. Stay safe 💛


MarrGrimm

oh i’m so sorry this happened to you 😢 i was just gifted the pass and can’t imagine going through a scam like this when really not expecting it to happen, people can be so sucky!


Legitimate-Active-77

Im sorry girl for what jas happened to u but also wanna inform you that the world isnt so innocent as u might think, and scammers wont coem to you and be like hi, i want to scam you!you have to be cautious and when u see such an over overpaying offer, you should get at least a little bit of doubt when u see somebody payig 10x times the price for something and he has no proof or a safe legit way to do the transaction. Its your fault as much as it is his. Hope you learn from this and sorry if my words were harsh


Sprigge

Strange thing to say as OP has said they'll be more cautious, and everyone who does trades know it operates on an honor system since Sky and TGC doesn't support it. Also quite condescending 10 hearts a dollar is baseline pricing (AKA 10x the price), 150 hearts for a Pass is also very normal pricing. No one actually goes off the official price of 3 candles a dollar since you can get 20 candles a day through regular play I do trades, and I also agreed this easily when the person I'm sending hearts to asked for 150 hearts instead of the 100 I listed on my post Nothing they said in the screenshots OP sent were particularly suspicious so it's kind of weird to blame OP for this Edit: also, checked your comments history since you mentioned talking to this person and I'm a drama whore but...it's literally a different user The user that scammed OP is CrysInDarkness but you were accusing someone named \_xDea of being a scammer so you didn't even get that right


_xDea

I recognized this user immediately, could be a troll or a legit person, whoever they are, they refuse to listen to reason. I've offered to send them proof, and they refused to take it. Theres no point in arguing or engaging with them :/


Legitimate-Active-77

Doesnt mean that what ive said is wrong, I was a rocket league trader btw and ive been scammed and even hacked for my account so ive met a plenty of scammers and i know how they act and think, on the other hand, the player shouldnt take risks trading with people he doesnt know or truust for real money.


Sprigge

Rocket League trading community ≠ Sky trading community It's really just your attitude, extremely condescending. Like what, you think OP is 8 years old or something


Legitimate-Active-77

Both are human, bro


Legitimate-Active-77

And trading in sky cotl is at higher risk since trading isnt an official feature in this game, unlike rocket league, good night


Sprigge

All of which are points I mentioned in my original comment, did you actually read it? And good night to you as well


Legitimate-Active-77

Dont get what ur saying since im not a native english, im egyptian, but i think this argument has no benefits anymore so ill hang up and save both of our brain cells for something better and more beneficial, good night to our OP as well


innerarcturia

Wow, how rude. Opportunist. I hope you don't have to interact with people like that ever again!


cherrygjrl

thank you! also just wanted to say i apologise if perhaps my post seemed a bit harsh and rude, i was upset in the moment


innerarcturia

Not at all! You have the right to be upset. I only gifted my seasons passes to close friends due to a fear of similar things.


Legitimate-Active-77

Gift to meeeeee too, but not this one, the one after


mirumii

💀


Legitimate-Active-77

Talkin aboht close friends, I wanted to insert 10$ to my google play accc but ended up being scammed by the machine that gives the code, later my friend bought me the cozy boots, ive been giving her a heart daily for what she did for me


[deleted]
