I was sooooo mad tonight because I was deceited by one scam! 
I lost 55 of TNTs for nothing!!! Feel so stupid..
Here is the story...
I went to one forum for trading loots and saw his message that he offers one ROULETTE WHEEL from Lotto Collections. I rapidly reply his post and ask him to add me. Few hours, he wrote me a message and we're agree to trade 1 wheel with 55 TNTs.
I was thinking that I am so lucky to have such nice trade, so cheap and finally could fill in the empty space on my lotto collections.
I was too happy and forget about my rule of trading : "You send first and I'll follow!"
I send those TNTs and while processing we're sending messages to each other.See this pic below.. (click to enlarge)
I can see his pic in messages when his account is still active. Those blank pics above happen when he somehow disable the account (don't know how).. I even thank him, silly me..
After finished sending, I realize that I haven't received from him yet. I wait and refreshing my MW page in hoping that I could see the Roulette Wheel is coming! But that won't be happen and his FB link is just disappear.. I can't send him message, I can't do a thing!
Then I did googling by putting his name on the search engine and found the link of forum explaining about this scam!
I found out that it is a fake account and after obtaining our loots, he directly send them all to his primary account! So it's no use to attack him, punch him, even reporting him to Zynga!

Well, I hope you guys could learn from my experience. If you find somebody offers for lotto piece(s), beware!!! Make sure that it is not a scam in any ways. You figure out the ways to make you sure that it is a safe trade for you. I know that you're smarter than me! 
Anyway, this is just a game that I love so much! Will continue playing with a verrrry careful ways in trading... Goodluck, guys!

U guys should know these kind of deals look too good to be true
Don't be Naive nobody's gonna give away a lotto item so hard to get for 50 TNT
Come on, it's common sense !!
It is a shame that anyone would cheat over something as silly as a game. I really enjoy playing Mafia Wars and it is people like this guy that make it hard to trade and trust people. I know it probably did not do any good, but I punched him in the face a couple of times for you. Thanks for the heads up on him!

ur trading rule was "people send 1st, then u follow?" now how would others know that u weren't a scam? what a fag....
Re: Attacet - the profile link just redirects back to my home (wall) page, but the Mafia profile works, so point or no point - it's killin' time. I'm a level 63 so icing his 42 was no sweat, and for good measure I asked my mob of 932 to do it too. Same for the Dury chick.
Stay cool!
oh yeah - add me!

cheers!
Your website is helpful as I am a newbie. Thanks for sharing your story. Do you have any advice for a newbie regarding gifts. I was told not to send anything out as a newbie. I have very little to send although I have sent "rare" items without even a thank you. Guess we both learned the hard way on "different levels", get it. Fogeddaboudit, Godmother! Take care and Thank you!
That sucks so bad. I am so sorry for that.. What a looser.
actually theres a group in FB, I joined them to be sure of fair trades - scamfree of course..

Oh , at his profile (the level 44 one) i saw something interesting :D
Gifts sent 411
oh my god...i never thought the collection could be so valuable.anyone know how many i can trade for my deck of card collection?
Look at his level, he is only level 42, how its possible to get at level 42 to get lotto item, I am level 232, i got only 1 item, first i will see the lotto item and then i will send him what he needs.
Ive got one item from the lotto collection, the slot machine, & i got it at level 25 i think, so getting it at low level is absolutly possible.
I went to his FB profile and blocked him and you have to say why so I told the story and gave your website. Hopefully you have already reported his sorry ass.
Zynga may be able to track the tnt gift to his real mw profile and find him.
Just forget about him, guys.. I posted this in hope that you can be more careful on doing any trades.. That's it.
I don't want anybody attack him or try to find his real account or else.
Just enjoy your game and play safe ^_^
Always trade these type of items through a third party. Someone in your family that you trust. Get them to send to him and then you send to him also. When everything is received, your third party will forward the items as instructed. ;-)
i will hitlist him everyday
You know what, any Daily Chance Collection item is not tradable. Be carefull next time.
Thanks for nice webiste ;)
If you are worried about trading your valuable lotto, perhaps try "the lotto trust". There are 1000's of folks that do this stuff regularly so they are well known in the community, I think the trust takes a 10% cut for to guarantee your trade goes through, but that's a lot of piece of mind.
If this happens in real world you will have a bullet up your a** in real crime honesty is the most important thing but ah this is just a game.
i got nothing for my slot machine... the other swindlers fuck..!! :(
i gave my crap table aand dice for 200 GS and 35 armored cases :)
mafia wars maniac what is your name in mw??? i really want you in my mafia
[lvl 132] daily player
every day 4 lvl's upppp
Is there any link to fix all the blank pages that come up when trying to access MW on Facebook? It's so frustrating!
Just do your gifting and trading with your own mafia. That's what I do and it works out just fine. I wouldn't risk the trading with strangers anyway. Just post your wish/need list and eventually you will get what you need. Just be patient and enjoy the game.
reported to zynga......
Hi,
Reported to Zynga as well as attacked him two days in a row.
when an offer is to good to be true, it usually isn't..
if you are truly desperate &/or willing to spend real money u can buy the complete collection of E-bay for around $50,-
I'll kill him even he is already dead!
thanks for the warning!

(to the blog owner (ade) )
when i first joined I won a daily chance collection items, I had 2 and I gave them away cause some one asked for them I just started so i didn't know they were valuable so I just gifted them away. I beat myself up for that later!! What a fool I was, so ignorant.
All,
I have started a legit trading and bartering page. I am the admin and will not tolerate scammers. All trades are to be public.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=224522088074
heh i asked my mafia to kill him, i killed him but he only has one tnt... how is this even possible?!
You people are talking about buying collections on ebay and whatever else. I hate to break it to you all but, Virtual Items aren't covered by Ebay, Paypal, or anything.
i lost 80 untraceable cellphones.....
Here's another scammer...http://mwfb.zynga.com/mwfb/remote/html_server.php?xw_controller=stats&xw_action=view&xw_city=1&tmp=fa82a8604b08ca3699c3a33b0c25009c&cb=13138930631262824903&user=NzQxMjg3MjIy
big fan of your blog
i have a question y does best offense and defense changes always
I love your blog and it helps me so much that i will use all my stamina to attack him
There is a bookmarklet out there that checks profile ID's against their database of reported users who are reported scammers found here:
http://mwtsn.biz.nf/index.php
You can also report scammers to them as well, and add them to the database. It's worth checking out. Just goto the user's FB profile page, and run the bookmarklet, and it'll tell you if the user is "clean" or not, due to their database.
I had 3 lotto items. One was duplicate so I traded it with no problems. Not everybody out there is scammers.
PS. I had the lotto items before I was lvl 150. Got nothing after that again :-(
Me and my mafia justed destroyed him, EASY, i reported him also
Well, you are lucky that you lost just that few... 55 TNT's are nothing. I lost 90 shturmoviks to one bastard. BTW: I would love to have roulette for 55 TNT's :D Nextime, before you trade, check how the price's are set for each item, best by visiting some of those mafia trading groups. That price was ridiculous, so if you would know the prices, you could've guessed that its either scammer, or an idiot.
And never send anything first to someone without trading reference's (mine: http://www.facebook.com/lefiath?v=app_2347471856&ref=profile#/note.php?note_id=195407754661 )
