Please follow the steps outlined in the following thread about reporting scams:

Vaneras, 5 months ago I reported someone through those channels and I was informed they could do nothing about it, at the time it was an item worth roughly 45 million and they basically said "too bad" which really annoyed me.

If the are now banning scammers that's good but they need to make it public and the name and shame SHOULD be allowed.


I'm afraid I have no information on that particular incident you are referring to, so I cannot say if this is a case of a misunderstanding, or if something requested wasn't feasible at the time, but I can say for sure that if we truly ignored these guys, we would not be having a sticky thread asking you to report them... I know this is may be of little consolation to you and I understand that it totally sucks being a victim of a scammer.

In regards to naming and shaming, I don't think that we will ever remove this policy of ours I'm afraid. Past experiences have shown us that too many people were wrongfully accused of doing bad things before we had this policy, who had their reputation and gaming experience ruined as a result, so it is important to us to protect the innocent. It is the case of choosing the lesser evil I'm afraid... I have noticed that a number third party sites have been created to address this particular concern though, although I am not in a position to recommend any of these.
