    Hey Arkadia!

    I just wanted to give the community a friendly warning about a possible scammer being at large. This has been posted on the PCF forum here;
    http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?269780-Scammer-Exposed
    And it may seem that the scammer is active on Arkadia, and I felt it was needed to post it here as not everyone frequents PCF.

    In short, the scammer is posing as a brother/sister/girlfriend/boyfriend of someone in your society, and is asking for peds and will 'pay it back' later that day. I don't think anyone is gullible enough to fall for it, but you never know.

    IN ANY CASE do not give ped to someone you do not trust 100%, or who you just met. When in doubt, run.
    Remember that all trades are final and do not just give anything as a loan to someone without collateral, if this friend/player scammed you MA won't help you.
    If you see anything suspicious, contact an Official, an Arkadia Adviser, or seek help in the #Arkadia chat (/join #arkadia)

    Happy traveling all!

    This has been going on for awhile, read a very similar story in rookie chat back in nov or dec. This is just a friendly reminder of why you should never do a one sided trade.
