Superman9 - Definite scammer/probably multi (in Public Record)


Tenchi Muyo April 9 2005 4:51 PM EDT

Superman9 has been taking multiple loans, and not one has any repayment, and every single time he sends the money straight to Eloren. It is highly unlikely the two aren't working together, because there is no PR post of a debt to Eloren, and they keep sending tags like "almost paid off or" something about a bet.

Now, even though the loan from Redemption is recent, this behavior obviously shows that the two accounts are linked in someway in the theft.

Tenchi Muyo April 9 2005 4:53 PM EDT

As a side note, he has also been claiming on the PR post about my loan to him that he "paid it back in full" and when I said he never paid a dime he claimed his money went down 1.1 million. Kinda odd figuring he never had any money on his account in the first place. He had no transfers to him, and maybe a handful of fights since.

BrandonLP April 9 2005 4:56 PM EDT

Considering 500k CB2 is the equivalent of 10 USD, I wonder how well Superman's ISP take it if I informed them he was using their service to scam people.

This guy obviously isn't going to pay off his past debts. Heck, he has yet to do so. If an admin could get involved, that'd be great.

Special J April 9 2005 5:35 PM EDT

And going by the rules and warning stated on the FS/WTB about being scammed and admins NOT getting your items back for you, nothing is going to happen, minus superman being reset and perhaps the other account should it be a multi.


Next, don't come up with things like "im telling his isp", they will just laugh at you.

You are telling Me, he stole something thats unable to be held in your hand, thus it is virtual property? Live and learn, next time be more cautious.

smallpau1 - Go Blues [Lower My Fees] April 9 2005 5:44 PM EDT

Hes been commited of multi'ing before and was reset i thought?

BrandonLP April 9 2005 6:00 PM EDT

mrwuss, let's try using a bit more of a constructive attitude. Kai hasn't asked for a refund. Neither have I. We're simply asking admins to take a further look into things. I never said I was telling his ISP, I simply said I wonder what they would say. Let's try to stick on the topic of Superman9 scamming and possibly being a multi.

Tenchi Muyo April 9 2005 6:08 PM EDT

PR thread between Kai and Superman. Nightmare posted some very interesting behavior between the two.

[FireBreathing]Chicken April 9 2005 6:19 PM EDT

Eloren's IP proxy does look quite suspicious.

[FireBreathing]Chicken April 9 2005 6:22 PM EDT

nvm. i have no idea what i'm talking about.

This is Superman9's transfer log for the last 10 days. He seems to be taking loans out, and sending the money minus transfer fees directly to Eloren, with very similar notes.

And here's Eloren's 10 day forecast. Rather interesting that the transfers have been paying off a debt to CB2Bank. /me strokes chin.

After a little more digging, I found these one-sided transfers began on the 19th of February, then again on the 22nd, 23rd, and 26th of February, the last of which had a note with "all paid off" written, but no transaction of items or money going from Eloren to Superman. Ignoring the tattoo trading/loaning, March 16th began another set of one-sided transfers from Superman9 to Eloren.. $663,022 to be precise. Another $200k on the 17th, and then on the 24th, there was madness... I don't know exactly what to make of this:

And that brings us to present date. So, I hope the admins have some questions for you.



I also forgot to add something... Eloren's 27k ToJ sale. About 8 replies down, Raizen asked when the bidding would be ending, and Superman9 responds with, "Superman9, March 1 2005 5:01 PM EST
Look at the initial message".
While that may not be much on its own, but added to the above information, it gets even more suspicious.

Hiro Protagonist April 9 2005 7:15 PM EDT

Superman and I are friends in real life, so we felt no need for a PR post. We are not working together he just owes me for a bet in real life. He was paying me off and apparently taking out loans to carry this out. Kaiousama, I will talk to Superman and see how he plans to rectify this, but tbh I had no idea that he was going to scam people out of money otherwise we never would have made the bet!(march madness :) ) I'm not sure what the course of action is, but I dont know exactly what I supposed to do in this situation.

Hiro Protagonist April 9 2005 7:19 PM EDT

I also forgot to mention that the items(leathers etc) were being forged by superman and I think you can check the chatmail records to confirm that?

[FireBreathing]Chicken April 9 2005 7:23 PM EDT

I don't see Superman9 planning to repay anybody Eloren, so I'd keep the money he gives you on hold.

Hiro Protagonist April 9 2005 7:25 PM EDT

Worst part is I had used the money to pay back Barron for a loan. Can I get an admins opinion on how to fix this? If need be I can sell some items or take out a loan to payback whoever superman scammed.

Nightmare [NewNightmares] April 9 2005 7:51 PM EDT

You felt you didn't need a PR post when you traded Superman9 $363k for a 1.8M ToJ, a bunch of leathers... and $166k? Something really screams wrong about that.

Nightmare [NewNightmares] April 9 2005 7:51 PM EDT

while you were on the same ip, no less.

BrandonLP April 9 2005 7:53 PM EDT

Eloren, I doubt you want to do that since it seems he scammed quite a few people.

BrandonLP April 9 2005 7:54 PM EDT

Wow, that is interesting... both were on the same IP when the big transfer happened.

Hiro Protagonist April 9 2005 7:57 PM EDT

I'm confused, how were we on the same ip as he lives about 90 minutes from me and he has never been on my connection?

Hiro Protagonist April 9 2005 7:59 PM EDT

Scratch that, I think it is because he sent me his character Devil after he sent the items so it shows the character as being mine but at the time it was his.

Nightmare [NewNightmares] April 9 2005 8:09 PM EDT

no, actually, it still looks bad for you. those first (last if reading from the top) two transfers (the cash ones adding to $363k) were between his own characters then. That means you were sent 160k+, a bunch of gear, a 1.8M ToJ and a character.. thats quite a large one-sided trade to do without a PR post, or even a mention in his "Quitting" thread. /me smells fishiness

BrandonLP April 9 2005 8:10 PM EDT

I'd just appreciate it if an admin would look into this.

Majestik Moose April 9 2005 9:07 PM EDT

sidenote, but he is also still owing MrChuckles 400k.

AdminShade April 9 2005 9:24 PM EDT

also he had been into a very strange deal before with 2 other persons.

*hopes he can remember to look at it tomorrow*

or just CM the thread to a full admin :)

Hiro Protagonist April 9 2005 9:47 PM EDT

As no matter how I try to explain this or rectify it its going to end badly for me, I just sent my biggest character to Bartjan along with money and items with it. This may not be the best way to handle it but I am just gonna quit the game and he can sort out the items to whoever was scammed by superman9. I still maintain my innocence but there is nothing left for me to play here since my reputation has been tainted forever in this game. Thanks for the couple months of fun and I hold no grudge against anyone here, as you did what you probably should have when the situation looks as it does.

Special J April 9 2005 9:53 PM EDT

I would stop listening to the crowd and it's not thier call in the end, they are simply the heckler pool, doing what they do best. Getting involved where they are not, wait for a FULL admin to look it and set out the issues. Until then, ignore the crowd and keep playing.

<Superman9> you say you know C++?

Superman9 April 9 2005 10:32 PM EDT

good job making up that chat there ^ but just to set everything straight im not a multi just someone who is sick of the game and thought he'd go out with a bang...merry xmas

Nightmare [NewNightmares] April 9 2005 10:35 PM EDT

.. if thats the case, why didn't you just go instead of messing around with other people? Or even better, why did you lie to Kai about having paid him already? What's the point?

Synco April 9 2005 10:40 PM EDT

<Superman9> well you contributed
i am appualed by his tone...he actually thinks is funny :(

i feel bad for all the ppl he ripped off...that must suck. (i ma not trying to make anyone feel worse than the already are)

Superman9 April 9 2005 10:40 PM EDT

wanted to go out with a band and i tried to get ppl off my back, at least K, by having him thing there was an internal error within CB2...

Tenchi Muyo April 9 2005 10:42 PM EDT

Yeah, like that'd work. You're just a prick who can't leave a game without making other players having to lose things before you quit.

Synco April 9 2005 10:42 PM EDT

out with a bang?!?!?....

/me thinks Superman9 has down syndrome (no offense to anyone's realatives)

BrandonLP April 9 2005 10:43 PM EDT

Yeah, that chat sure was falsified Looks false to me.

dude, you make no sense.. you wanted to "leave with a <bang>", but you wanted people off your back? ya know what, forget it. Have fun scamming people elsewhere.

Superman9 April 9 2005 10:49 PM EDT

will do

You know what would be really funny? Is if this was just someone that hacked poor superman9's account....

I think it's funny.

But I doubt it.

Yes, Jon could use a few more. But who is appropriate? I know people who would volunteer, but it's obvious Jon is looking for specific people with vast knowledge about rules and decisions.

Descent April 10 2005 12:12 AM EDT

Things I dont get:

1) Eloren says the leather items and such were being forged by Superman9. However, in the transfer logs the items weren't sent back to Eloren after seven days, with the same NW as they were sent to Superman9. Also, this wasn't a loan, as the xfer log mentions nothing of it, and the items were returned an hour prematurely of when they should have been even if they were trying to "fake" a loan. No forging took place, and no loan was made (which strikes me as odd, because loaning is the primary way of leasing your items out for forging).

2) I see no reason why anybody who was dumb enough to loan him money should get paid back. I don't mean to say anything bad about those who loaned him money, but c'mon! Superman9 hasn't bought or sold a single item from the store since March 13th. Strike you as odd? What this also means is that he had no sort of collateral at the time of the loans. He hasn't sold any equipment, hasn't transferred any that wasn't sent to him by Eloren, and has no NW on his active character nor his retired one. If people are too lazy or uneducated enough to research who it is that they are loaning to, I say let them get what they should have coming. The "idiot tax" exists for a reason.

BrandonLP April 10 2005 12:22 AM EDT

Descent, keep in mind he did have a reasonably active character with a decent score when the loans were made.

AdminJonathan April 10 2005 12:25 AM EDT

Banned Superman9.

Eloren's character Devil has been sent to bartjan, not by me. Presumably bartjan is taking care of things on that end.

smallpau1 - Go Blues [Lower My Fees] April 10 2005 12:26 AM EDT

TY both of you...=)

AdminJonathan April 10 2005 12:26 AM EDT

On the multi side, there is some evidence that they are multis. There is other evidence that they are not. At present I am inclined to think the "not" evidence is stronger.

BrandonLP April 10 2005 12:28 AM EDT

Thanks Jon.

Hiro Protagonist April 10 2005 1:04 PM EDT

As mentioned earlier I am quitting after this incident but I want to clear some things up so people like Kaiousama get what was "taken".
Heres a timeline of what happened:
1. Superman agrees to forge some of my stuff and we make the bet on march madness.
2. Superman decides hes quitting and sends me all the gear back(hence the no upgrades) along with his character toj etc.
3. He decides to go out with a "bang" and starts taking out loans and sending them to me because of our bet that really had been covered by the stuff he had already sent me, but for some reason he wanted to take advantage of others and "help" me out since I had a loan with cb2bank.

As someone mentioned earlier the idiot tax issue. Who deserves the idiot tax? Me for not making a post on the bet and several other things I did wrong. I believe by sending the character to bartjan he can sort out what to do and who to pay back. Kaiousama and whoever should not have to worry about this loss of money and should be paid back in full if possible from the gear on Devil.
To the admins: Do whatever punishment you see fit to my character as I probably deserve it.
