Lions Beware

A place to warn others of bad eggs on Lioden.

[confessionsofalionholic]

Why do people do this?

I post on a topic of someone looking for pink lions, and they’re interested in a pink AMP I have. I agree to set it aside for them. When it’s of age, I make a private trade but it expires. I make a second one which also expires. I send them 2 pms asking if they’re interested. They are online and see both messages and just don’t reply. Why? Is it so hard to say, “Sorry, I’m not interested!” ??? Beware of reserving lions for 87591.

Noxis 93407 (img heavy)

So, I was trying to sell piety for extra few GBs; and was told to contact Noxis.

big mistake.

So I said yes and agreed.

I moved around my submales so I could have room for theirs on my side.

My mutie rep ran away and lost all of the stats from training because I didn’t have room on my main from moving my sub to my main for Noxis’s submale piety.

They never sent him.

I sent multiple UNREAD messages over the past 2 days.

After moving my submales around and losing my mutie rep.

They finally respond to me. 

I lost my mutie rep because I had to move submales around and after all that, they sex changed her and didn’t tell me.

They didn’t even care either.

Also, they sent over the lion without me responding OR confirming anything. Plus, I still have the original lioness from before.

Good grief.

Negative Review

Negative Review: Lunarclaw05 ,# 118510

Interaction: Raffle

Why: I’ve won this person’s raffle but he/she didn’t reply my message

When: The raffle ended on  2018-05-29

Explain: I’ve won the MB raffle saying winner will get all of his/her MB at the end of the month, so I decided to send the message asking how many MB I could have. However, he/she has read the message but didn’t give me any reply. Since there’s only one day left to claim the prize before this event ends, I’ve checked on this person’s territory and realized there’s high chance that I’ve been scammed.

The raffle

I've sent the message asking how many MB I could received.This is the proof that they've read the message (and still didn't reply).

No wonder Ocean Reflection #96489 got chat banned.... Idk what she did in chat, but recently she tried to con me into buying a lioness that could no longer be bred. Something along the lines of "btw i think next breeding she will give birth to a mutie as itll be her 1st and she has a 1% fertility :D so, she is cheap." The lioness was 14 years and 8 months old & on a 9 day cooldown. She has lied about a lioness' ability to breed multiple times in chat. Be careful of any dealings with this person.

[lions-beware]

Just wanted to warn people because this isn't listed on lioden I don't think? But a user tried to scam me and others once by saying they were banned from trading in the TC but they could still do transfers. There's no such thing as this punishment according to mods so if anyone says that to you it's a lie.

Thanks for the warning!

Rules

Please be respectful and refrian from using profanity.

If a post deals with an artist/commissioner not coming through with their end of a deal or a user scamming you out of items, screenshots/thread links must be provided (see below for what we consider scamming).

Anyone mentioned on this blog has the right to (respectfully) provide evidence against the accusations listed. 

Mods on this blog have the right to refuse and remove any post they deem targeted or untrue. Any user mentioned here has the right to request posts be removed if they are able to provide proof that submitted evidence is untrue. 

What we consider scamming:

To clarify what scamming means on Lioden: False promises/failed promised transaction (such as “my king will pass on his mutation,“ players refusing to return lionesses that are traditional bred, etc), Art Contests that have extended past their end date and have no intention of being drawn, raffles that are not being drawn, artists who have not come through after payment and numerous attempts of contact, commissioners who have not paid for art.

Hey everyone! Some news here-

The original mods of this blog had to step away due to stuff happening in their lives, so the blog has a new mod!

So, hi! :) I do play lioden, I've been active there since 2014. To keep myself anon there, the name I use here is not associated with my account in any way.

I decided to take this blog in a different direction, and bring it back as something like a review board for users. Sellers and buyers can leave reviews for transactions they complete (I'll still be keeping track of @confessionsofalionholic to keep an eye out for scammers).

The submission process and rules will be changing to fit the new direction we're going in, so keep an eye out! My next post will be the new review form that I shamelessly borrowed from a flight rising review blog.

"Free Studding for Items"

These have been popping up more and more lately, please be cautious! These breedings are not FREE. You are giving items for future breedings, and there's no guarentee you will receive these breedings. This falls under promised transactions, meaning staff cannot protect you if you get scammed.

106478, CancerFaker

106478 is at it again under a new screen name, this time using a woman who died in '12 and claiming its her mother to get free art.

the thread is gone because I contacted the woman's real family, and proceeded to call this user out. I've also been banned from LD for it.

COaL has the initial call out post by another user, obituary of the poor lady, and my responses there - though, these responses from me on coal are less than LB appropriate, and may need to be altered for community viewing here.

[lions-beware]

can you turn off infinite scroll and turn on pagination... it's hell with infinite scroll when im trying to find an older post

We’ll take care of that for ya. Alternatively, everything is generally labeled for easy searching.

I tried to give Selenium the benefit of the doubt because the first time she bought something she was nice and paid the right amount. She also sent me a friend request so I accepted because she was acting really nice. And now my inbox is full of links to her sale posts (which I didn't ask for!) and she's trying to scam me as well as other people. Block her and report her!

[lions-beware]

Oliver Queen / Lexi {Jazzy's Adopted Sister} has also approached me on two separate occasions in the past trying to convince me to accept lowballs for valuable items via guilt trips and lying about prices and backing out of sales offers after making messy excuses. So yeah, be careful. They've also come up on CoaL for lying about prices to other players and many other things and have been banned from groups for bad behaviour, so be careful.

Selenium the solicitor

If you get sales messages randomly from this user, flag the messages to report them. It’s probably the only way it’ll get it to stop, as they’ve been contacted by a mod about this already. 

[confessionsofalionholic]

selenium needs to stop,,,,, like flat out,,,,,,

@Anons Talking of Selenium

She PM’d me asking about one of my leopons, whilst I’m rolling my side to link them the leopons they spam me with these messages (no caps, as my tablet is shitty af).

1st  - ’I’ve been having a really rough time lately. I’ve been in the ER twice now in the past month for spinal pain. I am trying to find a nice leopon to buy. I am in the hospital with possible spinal meningitis (I am hoping not) so I am trying to give myself a gift I guess. ’

2nd - ’Yeah, it’s been horrendous and the pain is really bad. I am hoping soon I’ll be able to go home and finally get some good rest. On top of everything else my credit card was stolen and I had to cancel it. -sigh-’

3rd - ’Yeah, it’s getting really bad. I am hoping soon they’ll give me pain meds so that I can at least manage my pain a bit more. I’m also dealing with depression so that is never fun.’

This was all before I had a chance to reply.

4th - ’I am hoping to get a therapy dog soon. Actually, I think that would help way more than pain medication ever will. I am going to talk to my doctor and see what they think.’

5th - ’I am thinking about getting an ESA and being able to take a dog with my places will probably ease my anxiety of people.’ They then sent me an unrelated PM regarding a ‘pretty lioness’ they posed - found here https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794112157520

6th - ’Are you wanting to buy any of the new mane applicators or the blade mane app? If so I have them to sell. :)’

Started to spam me with sales stuff too.

7th - ’If you do sell a pon how much would you sell her for? I am broke, but I really want one in honor of my dog that passed away :)’

She then replied with this, and then ones I sent them a reply, explaining that I’d sell one for 400-500GB because I couldn’t do her a 'sympathy discount’.

She then proceeded to try and sell me lethals in a completely new PM. They have deleted all my responses to their own PM’s, and once you buy one thing from them they’ll not leave you alone.

IMHO avoid and block.

[confessionsofalionholic]

Be wary of Oliver Queen. They came to me saying they'd breed me a Sunset in 3 days if I reserved GB for them even though they dont have a sunset stud. I asked for the link to this alleged friend they had free breeds from several times and never got it nor heard any further responses from them.

Fishy fishy. This user scammed a staff member out of a heat to their leopon, and now they’re raffling the leopon…with the heat? :confused:

I wonder if they scammed the person who paid for the fee afterwards…

(im not gonna post the screencaps to the scam here, but here’s a link: https://liohazard.tumblr.com/post/163166078641/emmy-116425 )
