I got scammed for 90g by some guy named affirmation. I got excited because i was expecting to receive 90g and didn't read the letter until after i was missing gold in my inventory. Whoever did this illiterate and needs to be banned!!! please don't fall for this scam!!!

Why do people fall for this grammatically poor written piece of shit?
While I do feel a bit of pity for everyone that is a victim of this, I can also only shake my head, not understanding what's so hard about the English language.

Even with the slightest amount of common sense you should've been alarmed when there is any kind of weird Ingame Mail from someone you do not know. Do you also open up everyone that rings on your doorbell and tries to sell you a vacuum cleaner?

For your gold: I'm pretty sure you won't get anything back, at least to my knowledge. But as Phatonic mentioned, you may want to PM a GM - they will most likely answer you as fast as they can with more information.

that logic... a c.o.d is a lot different on retail than compared to vanilla wow. The way that it was prompted it look as if i was just receiving the gold and not giving it to someone i'm not used to it like that so i mean you should understand... and that was a shitty correlation comparing wow gold to someone being at my doorstep...
