*Zakum helm scammers rant* There are so many threads on basil from people complaining that they got scammed, because a random person in the FM approaches them and gives them a good offer on a zakum helm. Idk who's more to blame here. The Zakum helm scammers, or the scammed, that would give their account blindedly to a random person in the FM. Honestly if someone walks up to you out of the blue and is like "Hi i'm selling z-helms for xx-mil, but hurry our run starts soon and we need your acc info to get you one." "We need to log onto your account and do the run for you so there will be a 100% chance success rate of looting the helm." Wouldn't it be their fault for not doubting the seller at all? half of these scammers aren't even on the ranks!

What annoys me most is that people go around trusting every high level with a z-helm is a legit seller. Clearly you should look them up more if you are trusting them with your account. After they make the mistake of trusting a random person they come to basil whining expecting for some moral support for their mistake.

The person getting scammed is definitely to blame. They get to pay the price for their ignorance. But it's also mean/smart/evil of the scammers to do such a thing.

Exactly. I mean I know that it's not right for the scammer to be scamming in the 1st place, but people these days make it way too easy to get scammed. If you don't take a bit of time to research the seller, and group. It's your fault that yo ugot scammed and you shouldn't come to basil expecting some kind of support.
