Nop. Never had such situation and I can say I've made quite a few transactions between groups > me > friend or general public. I check 4 times to see if everything is correct before moving forward. I also try to read about new tools before using them, especially if money is involved and without the assumption that I will know how to use them correctly right on the first time I use it.
I agree LL should identify the Bot problem in bold letters on the transaction panel so people don't trust in just what their eyes see around them.
I don't agree with the opinion that LL invites crooks to the game, LL invites everybody to the game, which is quite different.
And I also believe that putting large sums of money in a such new and beta technology is a risk by itself and you should never take the system for granted and be mostly pessimistic about functionality. And yes, choose life, choose friends, choose tutorials, choose forums, choose knowledge.

From: Cocoanut Koala Paranoia . . . may be more realistic than we might think.
How about the extortionist 16m land plots with horrible signs on them?
LL is inviting one of THOSE guys to wine and dine him on an expense-paid trip to San Francisco as part of SL Views - the group where LL picks who they like to come and help them shape SL and its policies.
You'd think they wouldn't promote that sort of thing either, but they actually reward it, by giving them things the rest of us don't get, and using OUR money to do it.
coco WHAT!!! I didn't know that, this is DISGUSTING. Period. |

From: Gina Jacks WHAT!!! I didn't know that, this is DISGUSTING. Period. Gina dear, and everyone else for that matter. The Social Utopia that was envisioned when Uncle Phil started this thing is Dead and Buried. Second Life is no different than First Life now. It is nothing but a profit generating machine for Linden Labs. . Along with artists, entrepenuers, and generally nice people, are going to be thieves, dickheads, and all around scumbags. Until it stops making Quatloos for the Providers, it isn't going to change. The fish always stinks from the head.

Makes note to send Gina the phone numbers to : The FBI, the CIA, the AFL-CIO, the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, the Knights of Malta, the EEOC, the PTA, and the Grand Mystic Royal Order pf the Nobles of the Ali Baba Temple of the Shrine. "In accordance with prescribed rituals of time honored ceremony Matters of grave concern were weighed with dedicated caution Like whether or not to raise at stud or draw or spit in the ocean."

His um... Dashing good... No wait... Um... His intellect? Actually, I think he drugged her, and brainwashed her into thinking she was his Russian spy-wife, when in reality she was Canadian, and married to a moose!
