I would make sure that you share everything you know with your other game friends

He might have gotten by with doing this once, but I dont think he will get by doing this twice --- I wonder if the coin shared was part of the set up ... so show he is trust worthy?

sorry, not a good feeling but unless you live with the person or related to them -- I wouldnt trust anyone

I suppose putting in a ticket is worth a try, but I thought I read somewhere they wouldn't be able to reverse trades even in situations like this.

Thank you all for the nice reaction :-)

I am glad there are people that care! To bad it is not always this way.
Im going to try to get my bat back, I have already sent a e-mail to BVG.

I also sent a message to the Facebook account of BVG and to Gary himself :-)

lol

I hope they can help me, because a mafia bat isn't easy to get with the amount of coins I earn daily.

Thanks for al reading my story and the sweet comments!!

What a jerk. I hate people that do that, ask to borrow an item then take off.
Ugh :cry:

Sorry for what happened to you

Matthijs,

So sorry this happened to you. I hope someday your "ex-friend" learns the value of trust and friendship. There are no pixels worth losing your integrity over. Hope something can be done to help you.

What he said ^ That was just you letting your greed get the better of you. Point is its impossible to get scammed if you're not greedy and don't want anything. Haven't you noticed most scammers play on people's greed on the game? If you get scammed-ITS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT. And it depends on you whether you learn from your mistakes or not. Let this be a lesson to all the people reading this forum-smart people learn from other people's mistakes. Average people learn from their own mistakes. Dumb people don't learn from any mistakes and keep falling for the same scams because they let their greed get the better of them. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! If you expect a sympathy vote or something you're not getting anything. We've all been scammed only thing you can do is learn from them. I know its harsh but that's reality. When I saw this forum title i thought maybe it was a new scam to watch out for to warn people which would be good. But what you posted just wasted everyone's time.

Yes, do this and explain the situation. Even Zynga support was able to do that for me a few years back.

When you get over being upset with him, you may start to feel sorry for him. They live sad lives that require stealing from good people. They cannot know pleasure unless they do wrong. That is kind of pathetic.

PS - I love the Netherlands. Had a blast in Leiden and Amsterdam. I enjoyed racing through the tulip fields in the country and the beach at Scheveningen was awesome. You guys know how to drink beer!

Guess I am no longer surprised by the amount of scammers in Yo. It is pretty sad how many are totally full of yadda. They lie about everything-including being a friend. UGH.

Not to be a pessimist-but it seems most here do not learn integrity, or values. They just open another account and continue on until hopefully they get banned.

Imagine if this game's ability to gift and trade were disabled. It would end much of the bs in yo. But as it is, many here will do unbelievable stuff to others just to get a item or a few coins.

My name is Matthijs , Im from the Netherlands and play YoWorld Since 2009!
I enjoy this game a lot and love making new houses and get as many outfits I can get!
Im playing for 5 years now, but something bad happend.

It is not as bad as other things that happen in the world, but as a fellow YoWorld player I hope you can understand what I feel like now.

On the date of 14th of July, me and my ''EX GOOD FRIEND'' were trying to earn more money. So we could buy us self nice items to wear. Together we always joined peagents and elimination or any other fun games that other YoWorld players set up! ( Thank you for that )

So together we won over 1,000,000c! and both equal splitted the money! But on 14th of July , he betrayed me.

He came to me telling his friend and he had a deal, a 1,000,000c deal! We both could get 500,000c so that sounded as music in my ears!

All I had to do, is give him my ''Mafia Bat'' for a few seconds. So he could show it to his friend that he had 2 ''Mafia Bats'' and he would get 1,000,000c. That was the deal.

Knowing how I could trust him because he was my good friend, and also had him added on Facebook, I gave him the ''Mafia Bat'' for 10c.

10seconds later, Im in the alton towers, got deleted and blocked on Facebook. And left behind with empty hands.
My own friend, who I could trust stole a very valuable item.

I hope you , the reader, understand how I feel right now. And Especially someone use a good friendship to take a item is very gross to see.

I hope you all could help me out now, tell me what I can do.

Thank you a lot for reading my story,

Matthijs
YoWorld player since 2009

what happened to you is absolutely horrible! any betrayal of a friend is a hard thing to handle. I know how I would feel if it happened to me. the fact that you had him on fb makes it twice as bad. he is a truly shallow person to chose a pixel over a friend. you can truly say good riddance to him in yo and on fb, which I know you don't undertand right now; the betrayal is too fresh in your mind. I wish I had an extra mafia bat to send you but I have just one and it's my all time favorite handheld. I hope you can find another mafia bat to buy. good luck and consider this a lesson learned.

sad to say however you can't always trust a person you live with or a relative.
