Well you could always take something of equal value
If you're trusting a player with a large sum of money then you can ask for an expensive cosmetic item of about the same cost to hold onto. If they are trying to scam you then they won't do it, and if they aren't trying to scam you, then you both have a piece of each other to hold over each others' heads. If one person backs out and "steals" an item, they haven't legitimately stolen anything, especially if you're holding onto an item of theirs of equal value.

Girls do their best now and are preparing.
The general rule online is never lend anyone anything that you wouldn't mind losing anyway. Treat such activities as "Giving a player a free item, with the possible chance of some sort of return"

Smart traders always use
Smart traders always use collateral.
Don't trust strangers, isnt that like the first thing anybody learns?

Heart of Valor.
Yeah, I agree. Never lend anyone anything you would mind losing.
A year ago, a guy told me he would give me 500,000 crowns for prismatic Valkyrie wings. He was a good friend of mine, and the leader and founder of our guild. When I gave him the valks, he said he'd be able to pay me back.
A month later, nothing. He quit SK.
So yesh. Don't lend people stuff.

When someone asks to "borrow" something, what they really mean to say is "Can I have [insert item here], and never pay you back and just come up with excuses until I find a time where we have a small disagreement then I can remove you from my friends list for no reason."

Sadly they cant do anything, but cant hurt to submit a support ticket.
Only trust people you have trust in & know they wont scam you.

Life lesson - the same thing occurs out of game.
Take collateral or dont expect something in return.
I've taken keys, recipes, accessories, and costumes in this game (mostly during SD sale because people wanted things but didnt currently have enough for it).

Welp, I have this one "friend" who "borrowed" 600ce from me 4 months ago, and never returned it. When I asked them to they cursed me out and told me to stop requesting that they returned it since they were "working on it".
...I gave up on it. >_>

Wow, there's some terrible people in this game. I borrowed 20k+ CE from a friend of mine during some of those Flash Sales and I promptly returned it to her by the next week. Maybe you should just get to know your friends better.

R1: 22kce?
Me: Make it 23kce and we got a deal :)
R1: Ok. What haven?
Me: Haven 1, right side of AH.
(Random guy joins me)
R1: Is it ok if I pay 10kce now and the rest tomorrow?
Me: I don't mind waiting till tomorrow. I'll hold it for you.
R1: I promise. I can get the rest for tomorrow. Ok 12kce now rest this afternoon.

R1: Can I borrow 100kcr?
Me: How long will it take you to pay me back?

I can't believe you just said that. Labelling a group of people as dishonest because one idiot scammed you is disgusting.

That's the funny thing with stereotypes, as soon as someone identifies as singaporean, you'll immediately have suspicions, and you might textually make those suspicions public.

Sorry to hear about what happened.
There's nothing they can do about it. I've had a few of these happen to me before and the GM's just reply with a "sorry this happened to you" kind of message.
Just don't trust anyone. Even friends you've made online steal your stuff or use you to get stuff they want. Don't trust even the 50k+ prestiged knights.

@Hellscream 1) Do not
@Hellscream
1) Do not discriminate against people because one person who happened to supposedly be that nationality did something bad.
2) Get smart, dont go around all happy go lucky thinking everyone lives in Dora land.
3) You deserve to be scammed because f your narrow minded accusition of an entire culture based on the actions of 1 person.
learn to accept different ople, and never stereotype an entire culture based on ONEperson.

Fally!
I've been scammed myself. My case however is a bit different than yours as he doesn't deny his action and he is able to be reached.
The only thing I did to get my revenge was by ruining his reputation. Simply notify your friends so they don't fall into the same trap. I'm afraid the GMs are not able to you out.

Wrong trade* — Because Game Masters can't know what the agreement with the trade was, they are not able to assist players in this aspect of the game and do not recover items for players. Try to talk to the other player and work it out instead. Please remember in the future to be careful and never trade anything away unless you would be okay with the other player not returning the item.
