"クリクリ(pronounced Kurikuri)" is suspicious. Maybe, I think it's a scams alt. I have heard that name from a friend of both foreigners and Japanese friends. BE CAREFUL!

Turns out another set of mine (in this case, the Blue Soulmate Devil DR set F and Flying Black Dominion Wings F) was taken because of how naive and nice I am. However, this time I'm convinced they're getting smarter. Why? This one was a member of fellow English clan Spirit. Their name? おまう (Roughly translates to "Omau"). Here's the conversation of what went down on September 26th, 2014 around 4:00 pm on my alt nymphia. (Sorry in advance for my less than professional spelling, kinda woke up when this happened :/) I filed a character report for them, so I advise people to do the same. Thankfully I was able to get in touch with one of the subs of Spirit (Rhee in my case) and they're working out the issue with the other subs and members.

We got notified on the problem, but she seems to have got wind of the news and immediately left the clan. It's becoming more and more difficult to track her.

Same person tried to borrow my things and I refused. Everyone...I know we've got a great community but I think we need to rethink loaning out gears. This is just ASKING to happen again and again. I'd say unless you KNOW that person, do not share you stuff.

I swear to god Omau is one of Okito's alts.
- is after Devil Doctor - knows well the sets from EN server (as they stated before) - traestoes immediately off when they got your gear
Also, they are more likely to make another female alt to scam people, since they have already scammed female gear they want to use themselves.

Thankfully, the good news is that I got my gear back. Bad news I had to pay 220 million macca to get it back after hell and back. But it seems Okito, Hinatsu, Kurikuri, Omau, and dare I say FullThrottle all seem to be connected, maybe even alts of Okito? They're clearly getting smarter and smarter, so clan masters and subs, keep your eyes wide open. So be sure to remember: -Newbie player without a demon, clan, and just has the basic clothing. -Asks you to speak English only -Is after Devil Doctor and Division Avatar (At least, in my case with Omau, she asked for my Division set in return for my DR set and Wings) -Asks said sets (or maybe any other expensive gear you have) for VA -Knows the sets by their EN names. -Posts the sets on TL or in Bazaars. Be safe and aware everyone!

I'm glad you got your items back, even though no-one should pay for their own stuff. This damn scammer dares to make off money for themself by stealing other people's gear and then selling it back for overprice.

Wow... You actually paid for your own stuff back? Isn't that one of the scammer's initial intentions? Getting stuff and money with "shortcut." These people have always made me furious.
About VA trading, whether they're from your OWN clan or other fellow English player clans, anyone wanting to VA stuff out of the blue is ALWAYS not to be trusted.
When I VA stuff from my own close friends on the game I always give them a guarantee, such as macca, valuable items, or even my own main sets. Even though they sometimes say it is unnecessary, it is important to enhance their trust and lessen their worry in case something - that both of you don't want to happen - happens. People who want to VA stuff from you should understand as well because they ASK for your help and thus they need to give themselves a favor.
What I'm saying is, assuming you're still opening your VA service, be on your guard always. Your generosity may be taken at advantage even more by these irresponsible people later on. Always expect them to give you guarantee items worth your VA set, otherwise I would advise you cancel the trade for your own safety.
I hope nothing like this happens anymore. I know this Internet crime will never be able to be stopped because the bad-doer is safe sitting behind their PC. Had it been a real life criminal the outcome would have been very different.

(Don't worry, I wasn't scammed for a third time!) I just wanted to make a quick little post here saying that nymphia and アフロディーテさん (Aphrodite-san) are indeed my alts, since they don't seem to be on the white list here, plus they're another form of contact/trusted VA-ers if you see them floating about. That or if I contact you on said alts, it isn't as terrifying that I'm gonna scam. Here's what they both look like for visual ref (first two are nymphia, third one is Aphrodite)

Even though a person pattern of speech(well, writing) tells a lot, that's not the only thing taken into consideration here. There have been plenty of evidence gathered in some cases that just can't be shrugged off as coincidences. As for the white list part, people in it has proven to be trustworthy on plenty of occasions. And the "trust someone you just met" thing, if you paid enough attention to this matter you'd realize this started on a sudden spree. Mainly, when some noticed a chance to abuse the good will of people who assist others. Granted, this happened back on the EN server, but it was well known there. Here had yet to happen and can't blame those who decided to trust the community.
