me too few day didn't get back here ~
too busy with office work and office politics is giving me real headache and heartache ~ D:
me might be the 2nd 1 to get banned hahahaah , because the thunder gifted me alot stuff , i rejected most , but in the end accepted some goodies .. too good to resist and greed kicks in ..
but before i receive i've took picture and mail to SE all LOL ~
i quickly traded the card to my 2nd account , no wrong stats , can be stoned , can be trade , can enter colli , no error message etc ...
dunno is it illicit or not , or he is just giving his card away randomly as he is quitting ..
dunno is me good luck or back luck , now let's see i'm on heaven or hell after few days

Hang in there bro. Chances are, its just an honest giveaways. From what I heard, SE only apply stamp code on 5* guardians to detect duped or hacked cards. They don't bother to do the same security filter on 4* and below due to the network strain on every checks.
I am however curious to what you accepted.

you say its too good to be true....hehehe.

I probably cant resist too

Haiyoh.. All these while i'll get ss quite often when hunting NHT, now that i have -7 ss (used all and borrowed 7), i cant even find one ss in like 5-8 nht!
Unfair!
Yeah, its very hard to hunt for SS these days. Its just one of those days when SE purposely reduce the spawn rate of SS in the wild. They're hoping when TGI Friday Gold Slime event comes, more people going to buy coins.

Wanted to share my experience on a potential "Scammer" in GC Forum [*Please note i said potential scammer because i wasn't Scam but this is my story]:-
Yesterday:- I was scouring the forum for Stat III for trade with SS. Found a thread posted by Alex Z with a too good to be true deal:- 1 Stat III = 3 GS
So i PM him and said i wanted one Wis III
The next thing: he asked me for my IGN and told me to rep him with 'honest recommend trader] *He has at that point = 6 reps
I told him, i will help give good rep upon successful trade.
Then i log into GC and want to send the trade to him but instead:- He gifted me 5 Stat III stones. I became suspicious so i check his IGN: LouiA and found out he is L50 and 1 friend [suspect his main acc/alt acc] and has 0[Zero] records in game. How is it possible that he can have so many stat stones. Furthermore, he just wants me to give him rep, did not even ask me to gift him the GS as per his thread in GC.
I PM him back saying i cant afford so many stat III stones and promptly return back his gift. And he PM me back and still ask me to rep him and specifically put the words: "honest trader".
Just wanted to share and put word of caution if you come across this seller. He may be legit and that IGN he gifted to me is just a 'store room' but its a too good to be true deal so i dare not risk my acc being ban for accepting it. Never would someone gift first with 5 stat stones while i'm buying with just 3 GS.
Yea, I saw that thread too but figured I used up all my GS. Seems like a dupe stone trader to me. Unlikely a scammer, but rather someone trying to raise his rep and eventually work his way to offer variety of illegal services for RMT.

can they even duped stones iii ?
SE have to do something not banning genuine all over for some stupid loop hole in their game ~
if do not want ppl any chance of getting illicit card which they can't prevent it , remove the damn "trade" and "gift" button , all hunt themself , then sure no problem already !!!
think back also piss , tabs just claim FP for colli also banned ..
Sadly, hacking and duping is still very much alive, although a small numbers of them knows how to. The security is getting better, but that doesn't mean the duping is gone. Stone dupe is still very much done on client side. Its not possible to say, create ridiculous numbers of stones (be it i, ii or iii) and FS all the legit cards. Its a llonger and more tedious process than before, but its still a worthy cheat. Good thing is not many good hackers know how, and even if they do, the cards will eventually raise a flag by SE when trying to trade or use in the coliseum. Stones are probably easier to pass around undetected.
I just pay no attention to these stuff, because the more I think about it, the more worked out I be. Imagine our hard work is fruitless against these cheaters in the coliseum, but at least knowing full well I did it that far on my own is a satisfaction itself.
I always check out this blog to hear the latest hacks still going active in GC -->
