In the thread about planning for the future with my cards I stated that I directed my wife to come to this site. After reading this thread last night with her sitting next to me I specifically told her to ignore any PMs that come to her requesting to buy things. That she would be better off going directly to the forum owner, Leon. I even showed her his info on here and where it stated in his stats that he was the owner. I told her there are many good people but apparently things happen behind the scenes and it would be better to go straight to him.
I have never met Leon and never done a transaction with him (outside of buying from his auction house) and have only done a few messages with him. But I have felt that was the best way to protect her from predatory people IF she found herself in that position. I really never knew it was that bad here.
I did mention that posting on the forum would be fine, but don't trust those people that aren't willing to talk to her within the thread and are only seeking her out through PM to buy everything. I figure if people keep it within the thread it would be quickly pointed out if someone is ripping her off.
