We all know they are sadly a frequent occurrence - but what do U do if U see someone scamming an innocent person? Risk being kicked when U step in to alert the room.... Spent time PMing the victim(s) to warn them.... walk away and let them learn the hard way?

I go into the corner of the room off the screen (Using the glitch) and Say "Scammer" constantly when another player arrives to alert them. I then report the Scammer and leave.

I report it, then shout out Scammer! and leave so I don't get kicked. I don't know how to go to a corner of the room using a glitch... can they not kick you if you're there?

hahaha Speedy - I had forgotten about that space on the side wall, they cant get U there ---excellent! Im gonna try that - because it makes my blood boil when I see people being taken for a ride. But my big mouth usually gets me kicked from the room by the unscrupulous owner.... I wish there was a box we could write in to give a short description of what these nasty people are doing to others (I think there used to be something like that on there when reporting?)

U know what I would love to see happen........ is for one of the BVG team to go into Yo, open up the events list and visit a few of these 'G4G' or 'spin and win' events etc etc and just have them play along until the owner tries to scam them and kick them out when its time to pay up!! Boy wouldn't they get a shock when they find they've been caught out and are now faced with .....The Boss ....I would love to be a fly on that wall!!
