Has anyone else had this happen to them? I searched on the net but couldn't find anything.
Last night I had the unfortunate experience of being falsely accused of scamming another player. I made the mistake of responding to a persons request for enchanting in trade. My main has over 50k gold so I don't need to do this I was just being helpful. I enchant the guys first item for a tip then he spends several minutes gathering mats for a second item to be enchanted from the bank/AH. I wait for him. He gets pissed because I refuse to enchant this item without another tip. He then wants his original tip back and accuses me of a scam. I refuse and laugh it off. He then says he is going to report me and proceeds to say some nasty things about me in trade. I ignore it and do the mature thing of not responding. He was in one of those high levels in a leveling guild so no one cares what he has to say anyways. I log out shortly after and about an hour later I have 2 emails from blizzard that I have never received before. The first was informing me that my tip was being removed since it was acquired by scamming and the second is an email that I was being put on a warning period for "scamming" and told I should read the terms of service and fair play. I was shocked by this, I've been playing over a year and have never had something like this happen. I contact blizzard about this and they are refusing to return my minuscule tip and are continuing to call me a scammer and telling me to read the terms of service.
This whole incident has completely shocked me. I felt like this kid just whined to blizzard and they just sided with the first story they heard and without even speaking to me. The whole manner in which blizzard handled this was very unprofessional and insulting to me. I guess the lesson is to never deal with anyone over trade channel again. Just keep it exclusive to the AH and if someone accuses you of scamming report them first. A lesson I have come to learn is that people who want basic enchants in trade only want something for free. Legit raiders have guild hookups to do there enchants.
But back to my original question, has anyone else has a situation similar to this?
