Just wanted to warn all you guys about a company called IGXE....

I am very sorry to hear this. Thanks for the warning. In the future be sure and buy only from LL or places like SLexchange which are official linden exchange sellers. That will save you tons of headaches as you already know.

I don't know of any that are official though

No, you right, probably he meant: "Official authorized....".

Nice that LL knew this company was being investigated------and no one else did.

Actually, it is. When you investigate fraud, you don't go around broadcasting the fact lest the invastigatee be alerted to it. The fact that they even told the OP means the investigation must be drawing to a close.


Everytime you post you display a little bit more ignorance and a little bit more prejudice against LL. You know where the door is.

As long as it isn't your money you'll be fine...I know.

Pony!

Shoot mate, who told you that?

If Linden Lab, in its sole discretion, determines that a Second Life user has purchased Linden Dollars for real currency through any means other than LindeX, and that the seller of such Linden Dollars acquired such Linden Dollars through fraudulent means, or any other means in violation of the Terms of Service, then Linden Lab will consider the buying user a complicit party in the fraud or violation. As a penalty for participation in such fraud or violation, Linden Lab will reduce the Linden Dollar balance of the buying Second Life account (and/or any Second Life accounts owned or operated by, or affiliated with, the owner of the buying account), by any amount up to 150% of the amount of Linden Dollars involved in the transaction. In addition, repeated participation in such fraud or violation will result in suspension or cancellation of the buying party's accounts. (The selling account will of course be suspended or cancelled on a single fraud or violation at Linden Lab's discretion.)

LLAB is closing accounts left and right these days.......Well then again don`t expect any Higher IQs from llabs these days in support services. But then again the rah rah people always hav something good to say about them...Only the people been thur support or the lack of there for knows its below par for a company of this size.

"Hey we suspect George here is selling stolen goods out of his apartment, so if he tries to sell you something don't buy it."

Pony!
This is going to be my response to any hateful or foolish remarks by you.
And this is the only time I'm going to explain why.
During an investigation warning the general population of the investigation means the people under investigation are warned as well. And since this is digital crime, they can easily disappear off the internet by pulling a plug out of the wall. And then set up shop under a new domain and registry. So by doing the proper investigative procedure, they have a chance of getting jail time for the people involved. Your way winds up with nothing but, well they closed shop and we haven't got any evidence to find and prosecute them.
Works the same for a company, and the government.
After all the cops don't tell everyone "Hey we suspect George here is selling stolen goods out of his apartment, so if he tries to sell you something don't buy it."

Shoot mate, who told you that?

Sorry can't find anything about my little business here.

So I ask you again, who told you that?

he makes it up as he goes along.

User-to-user Linden Dollar exchange activity is a consistent target of attack for attempted fraud and similar malicious activity. Because successful Linden Dollar fraud is a matter that adversely affects all participants in Second Life by damaging the virtual economy, Linden Lab has the following policy with respect to any Second Life user that purchases Linden Dollars from other Second Life users other than on LindeX:

If Linden Lab, in its sole discretion, determines that a Second Life user has purchased Linden Dollars for real currency through any means other than LindeX, and that the seller of such Linden Dollars acquired such Linden Dollars through fraudulent means, or any other means in violation of the Terms of Service, then Linden Lab will consider the buying user a complicit party in the fraud or violation. As a penalty for participation in such fraud or violation, Linden Lab will reduce the Linden Dollar balance of the buying Second Life account (and/or any Second Life accounts owned or operated by, or affiliated with, the owner of the buying account), by any amount up to 150% of the amount of Linden Dollars involved in the transaction. In addition, repeated participation in such fraud or violation will result in suspension or cancellation of the buying party's accounts. (The selling account will of course be suspended or cancelled on a single fraud or violation at Linden Lab's discretion.)

We recognize that some users wish to operate a legitmate Linden Dollar exchange, free of fraud. For these users, Linden Lab has developed an Exchange Risk API. Use of this API will allow a buying exchange operator to receive the result of Linden Lab's determination of the risk associated with the purchase of Linden Dollars in a particular transaction. For any transaction that uses the Exchange Risk API to determine Linden Lab's risk evaluation, where that evaluation returns a result that indicates the transaction has acceptable risk, Linden Lab will not apply the above penalty policy to buyers. If the Exchange Risk API is not used, or it is used but returns a result indicating unacceptable risk, the above policy will apply. The Exchange Risk API uses the same risk assessment factors that Linden Lab uses for LindeX. We believe that this policy and API will allow legitimate third-party exchanges to operate with relatively low fraud activity.

If you're an operator of a third-party exchange, you can apply for use of the Exchange Risk API by emailing your name, Second Life account name, and website URL that facilitates your exchange to our Risk API program.

Hmm, I still don't get the reference to Pony Lindens involvement?

LLAB is closing accounts left and right these days...
