Borderlands Public Service announcement.

[TheLefty]

Two player, aF Legend and iiScrappy are stealing player weapons. They ask you to drop your stuff so they can look at them then take then. If you see these player kick them IMMEDIATELY.

They just took a friend of mine's stuff then sold it to a vender so he couldn't get it. I'm in the process of reporting them to Microsoft and hopefully get them banned.

 

[ultracheeser]

what the fuck? Thanks?

 

[wordsmith]

Pfft, this is the oldest scam in the book. People have been doing this since before (and during of course) RunEscape.

"Uh... hey man... that's a nice wallet you got there, can I take a look? Wow, that phone's pretty nice too, can I have a look at that? Oh man, your watch is brilliant, lemme just get a closer look... Oh my! Is that the time? I must go!"

You wouldn't do it in real life, would you?

 

[WeedyPirate]

Come on... it's a dick move sure. But who the fuck falls for that?

 

[Stormz]

I don't know how anybody could ever fall for something so obvious.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

this is up there with an old man saying he's going to give you candy if you get in his black, windowless, van. I'm sure other people are doing this, just don't drop your stuff for other people in any game with highly valuable equipment that you can't get back.

 

[Littlee300]

Why would you fall for that, and person who did that deserves to be kicked in balls and banned but still... You can hardly change how scamming jerks, but you can change how easily fooled you are...
But alt+f4 jokes are ALWAYS funny
Also your friend deserves a slap in face for doing that, even if he didnt get scammed...

 

[TheTygerfire]

They ask you to drop your stuff so they can look at them then take then.

I take it you actually fell for that.
Wow, you fail so hard.

 

[topsyturvy]

Isn't there a buy back option in the vendors?

 

[slowpoke999]

CODE RED CODE RED
There be hax0rz who say your password appears as ************ BUT IT REALLY DONT DONT FALL 4 eet

 

[michael_ab]

but that is one way to make friends on it, im a person on boarderlands who just collects stuff, when i see a weapon i like i ask if i can see it to dupe it, if they oblige lo and behold they have access to my entire collection of elite legit weapons

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Holy shit they fell for the, "what on your shirt?" *you look down and your nose gets flicked* prank of the internet.

 

[Frapple]

haha, pretty much deserve to have their weapons taken.

loller.

 

[dududf]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Whos is stupid enough to fall for that?

You deserved to have it taken, it's a valuable lesson you and your friends have learned, don't do stupid things.

If he wants to see stats you TELL him stats, don't ****ing drop it.

Thank you, I needed a good laugh today, and seeing someone fall for the oldest video game item prank in the book is priceless. XD

 

[hazabaza1]

Well, your friend is stupid. No offence, but seriously? He fell for that?

 

[michael_ab]

Come on... it's a dick move sure. But who the fuck falls for that?

you mean showing their weapon becouase they think someone isnt a dick? all the time, its only those people who are dicks and steal them that make it the oldest trick

and on a side note how many people have fallen for this? even better how many people here have done it? i have never stolen an item from someone, because i am not a dick. it is an effective way to make friends on the game not to mention the ONLY way to trade

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

I am sorry but who actually falls for that in games I mean my God that is the oldest scam in games code.

Yes they are basterds for doing it but I have to ask what kind of person doesn't have the common sense to know that it is a scam I think whoever they steal from should be banned to.

 

[Rusty Bucket]

I love this thread.

 

[Bagaloo]

Damn you lot can be harsh at times.
Cut the guy some slack, it might be the oldest trick on the internet, but everyone falls for it at least once; thats how they learn things.

 

[Disaster Button]

I imagine your friend to look like this:

Except without the gun because his retarded ass just got it stolen off him by the oldest trick in the book.
