A PIMD Service Announcement About "Bento Sellers"
O hai! I'm guessing you saw Bentos and thought YES. But we need to talk, bb. Real talk.
Lately, there's been a rise in players reporting getting "scammed" by "totally-legit-definitely-not-scamming-using-real-world-currency-transactions" Bento Sellers.
These "sellers" who claim you just need to pay them in some real-worldy way for ALL the Bentos are weaving a web of...
To Quote The Termseth of Useth...
As I'm sure most of you know, ATA's official statement on soliciting and/or engaging in any real world currency transactions is:
Trades, gifts, or other in-game transactions are done so at a player’s own discretion. A Thinking Ape is not able to intervene in these transactions. Transactions of any type involving any non-game currency (including, but not limited to real-world currency, gift cards, credit transactions, and cryptocurrencies) are not permitted and is subject to action at our discretion..
What Does This Mean for Me?
The next time you are tempted to engage in real world currency transactions for some sketchy too-good-to-be-true deal, ATA cannot be held responsible and will not be compensating for lost items/accounts due to such tomfoolery.
By the same token, any players caught involved in such transactions – either as a buyer or seller – including creating alts and/or spreading information to engage in them will be automatically banhammered.
So for the love of PIMD:
DO NOT ENGAGE IN REAL WORLD CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS - ESPECIALLY INVOLVING BENTOS. ALSO, REPORT SUCH ACTION WHEN YOU SEE IT!
TL;DR
Bento selling for real world currency = bad. See it? Report it!
