    I don't know if there is an option in consoles, pc I'm not sure, I'd guess take a screen shot and show a Zos on here?

    This is a very bad advice. It is against the forum rules to "name and shame". How despicable scammers might be, it is not upon us to be judge and jury.

    So do not post screenshots of scammers here.

    Instead contact support directly. Provide as much info as possible. This includes:
    - screenshots
    - time/date of the chat/incident/scam (also state your timezone so support know how to translate it to servertime)
    - how you met the scammer (e.g. in /zone chat, include the map and if it was a yell or a local chat, the area).
    - character/account name of the scammer
    - and off course detailed description bout what happened.

    This simply reflects human nature ... sometimes worse online because of the illusion of anonymity
    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    Yes it is...but I do wonder how you "see" that people get scammed??

    There are basically two kinds of scams that are common.

    1: people make up any excuse to not do a trade through CoD. often using false facts. The victum sents money or goods and never gets back what they agreed to. This is stupid in the first place. There is no reason to not use CoD ever. But more important. all parts of the deal are not done in a public chat.

    2: people make an agreement for a vampire/werewolf bite. Here too, the agreement bout payment is made in contact between the scammer and the victum.

    So best you can do is that you heard people got scammed. But it is very unlikely you have seen! it.

    That is one of the many reasons why naming and shaming is not allowed. It is too much based on rumours and speculation. If you are stupid enough to get scammed you will not get your money back. But by reporting them directly to support you do make sure they get removed from the game.

    I forget where it is exactly, but on consoles I think it's under the "Help" tab, then "Report player".
