About a year ago (when I was new to the game), I got scammed. A player offered to sell me an item and placed it in the 'do not trade' slot. I didn't notice it. Gold was exchanged and it did not get the item. When it dawned on me, I attempted to contact the player. Of course he had placed me on his ignore list. I reported it to Blizz and they actually got the gold and the item for me as well. I am disappointed the one GM response is different than another. Blizz will do nothing?

He reported it to blizzard and he got the money back.. Yeh that’s crazy..

I refer you to this thread: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=298891579&sid=1 And since I'm in Europe, I guess I'm out of luck. By the way, I slap myself for not thinking of it before but the easiest way to verify a crafter's skill is to look him up in the armory. It's not 100% as you don't know which recipes he has or hasn't, and the crafter CAN still scam you even if they have the skill. But it's less likely.
