Beware of scammers

[Magic 1502]

Recently it has come to our attention that Wilson AKA Saber+7 (currently a moderator on Ultima) is trying to scam destiny players out of their items.

This player was banned a long time ago for reasons I will not go into but apparently still holds a grudge, not only against Destiny and the staff, but even towards our players. 

His plan is to act like a new player and get more established destiny players to give him items in order to "help a new player out".

He then never uses said items or drops them on the floor and logs out.

I'm afraid we can't do much about this particular kind of griefing since someone can constantly update their IP address, swap their PC hardware, use VPNs or virtual machines to evade a ban and create a new account.

Bottom line: We recommend everyone to be extra careful when giving low level players items, especially valuable stuff. Keep in mind every new player should be able to reach level 90 without too much trouble on their own if they really wanted to. Another way to help newbies is to create a new character and level with them. Worst case scenario you end up with a new leveled character.

The players who lost items to this individual have been contacted by the staff to have their items restored. However, we can't promise to restore future lost items.

You have been warned.

I know that the Ultima's reputation is not optimal over here and I wish it was different however this news definitely doesn't help to change that...
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the scammed players will get their items back :<

You can ban this and that account if you want, but I at least hope this particular post stays... I wasn’t scamming anyone. I have all the items Hhawk4 gave me in my bank. I dropped a fresh mag and that’s it. I was leveling alone in ruins. You can even check my bank to see. I didn’t do anything wrong. I am a fresh account with nothing and wasn’t particularly interested in starting from nothing so I did ask for stuff for low levels. That’s no crime. Especially if I keep the stuff. 
As far as “ban evading” goes. I’m on my native machine behind no VPNs or other similar products. I obviously had to make a new forum account, but even this one isn’t hidden under any guises. I used my normal email. There‘a no need to restore Hhawk4s items cause I could give them back myself and really don’t have an issue with that.  I would ACTUALLY use them if I wasn’t banned though.

You dropped a zero stat mag which you received from HHawk4. There's no way to obtain 0 stat mags as a new player in a considerable amount of time, so what you dropped was definitely not simply a "fresh" mag. It's a premium mag he gave it to you in good favor and you dropped it.

As for the other items. How is what you're doing not scamming? You know full well the minute any staff member finds you here they'll ban you on the spot. The first thing you do in-game is beg random people for items knowing the account that has those items stored can be suspended any second. 

So my statement stays, anyone beware and do NOT give this person any items. He will either drop them or they'll be in his bank forever since he will be banned.

Do us all a favor and move on man. What are you doing here anyway besides trying to cause drama.

I’m glad you’re giving me the chance to reply. So thanks for that. I had no intentions of really doing much except solo play. I didn’t really suspect being banned since I was only playing alone and didn’t talk all that much. I guess I thought the mag was my other one. I dropped all my other starting gear too. I had intentions of using the items. The fact they get “locked” in my account cause of a ban isn’t really something I can help. I am not here to cause drama. I hadn’t made this forum account until another user linked me this post.

You told us you "were going to play here regardless of your ban". So yes, obviously we are on the lookout to see if you're actually playing here, and ban you on the spot, like we just did. 

Anyways, I'm pretty sure everything's said that had to be said. Locking this topic now.
