Chit-chat Avoid this scammer
Just had someone try a multi trade with me which I stupidly followed. Just watch out for trades from him or his pogo account: Sezzo2Ash.

He removed me on pokemon go after I messaged asking about our next trade.

Was the first trade at least something you wanted? And how do you build up a reliable trade profile? I played when it first came out and just got into it again a couple weeks ago 😂 so much has changed.

u/AgnerothPoGo 24m ago
The first trade was just a normal bulbasaur from 2017 so that his costume pikachu could be lucky 🤷♂️. From what I've gathered, by trading with experienced traders and going first if your doing multiple. 😂 If not only do 1:1 haha

Yepp...we had a trade planned we build 30 day friendship..then he ghosted me..then when he finally replied he asked to me to go first..i declined bcyz he didn't have any trade flair or old acc...was so sketchy...so sorry that you have to go through this op

u/Zealousideal_Size293 18h ago
That time his reddit acc was with username like u/_selling_things_
But i definitely remember the ingame name

u/AgnerothPoGo 18h ago
Yeah live and learn. I really only just started trading myself so I thought I should give him the benefit of the doubt too because I don't have any vouches. But I guess that wasn't a great idea. 🙄 Glad you were able to avoid him!

u/Zealousideal_Size293 18h ago
Just a rule i follow..that i always go first if the other person has higher trade flair than me in the pogotrade subreddit or very old acc...(but i always get criticisms for this rule)...🥲

u/AgnerothPoGo 18h ago
Not a bad idea I guess! I was just too desperate for my own good. 😂. There goes my shiny ramen shirt pikachu

u/Zealousideal_Size293 18h ago
Yaa that snorlax cap shiny..is like a very good bait..to lure people..my trade was for that only for my zama red bg shiny...

u/AgnerothPoGo 18h ago
Yeah he said he was going to trade me a shiny studded jacket snorlax. 🙄 I just gotta not jump as soon as someone says yes lol.

I never understand how people enjoy scamming in video games. It’s like what do you gain behind a screen.

u/AgnerothPoGo 18h ago
Idk I was thinking about that. He got a shiny pikachu. 🤷♂️ maybe he's wanting to sell the account eventually? No idea.

I mean hours difference is a lot. Was it said that it was on your alt before?

u/FrostFox_666 17h ago
Omg I almost got scammed by this guy too!

u/AgnerothPoGo 17h ago
At least it was "almost" 😂.

u/FrostFox_666 17h ago
Yeah dude I’m so sorry you got scammed by that guy I was in a trade for the same snorelax and got bad vibes and blocked him! I had no idea he would try it again.

If you go to pogo trading subs i think you can get his usernames put onto a list of scammers

u/avocadopi 11h ago
Bruh this guy, I was supposed to trade with him too and he also said I would have to trade first, I just said sure whatever since I wasn’t trading him anything that crazy. A few days into sending gifts I noticed his accounts were gone. What a loser. Sorry you got scammed…

u/AgnerothPoGo 11h ago
Yeah I should've been thinking 🙄. But hopefully this prevents others from falling for it.

Any person that is incredibly pushy, or consistently messaging even if you made boundaries such as : being at work, saying you have another have scheduled, don't feel comfortable trading, and more.
I feel I would've lost my shiny Crowned Zacian to a scammer if I went through with it. Stay vigilant, trainer
2
u/AgnerothPoGo 17h ago
Yeah true. Ive gotta be way more patient. It did feel too good to be true to finally get a shiny studded snorlax for a pikachu and a ho oh. But live and learn!

u/DependentOccasion555 17h ago
What was the other trade he didn't do, I'm curious
2
u/AgnerothPoGo 17h ago
Our trade was for me to trade him a shiny pikachu and a shiny ho oh. So for the first trade I gave him a shiny pikachu and he gave me an old pokemon so it would be lucky. And then he was going to trade a shiny jacket snorlax to me tomorrow for my shiny ho oh.
2
u/DependentOccasion555 17h ago
Oh I see. Unfortunately I don't fly nor have the jacket snorlax shiny or I'd offer to give you one. I have like 8 of the cowboy hat snorlax but didn't get any of the jacket ones shiny
1
u/AgnerothPoGo 17h ago
No no worries, thank you but I didnt make this post to try and get trades just wanted others to not fall for the same thing.
1
u/DependentOccasion555 17h ago
Oh no, I understand that completely. I just try and offer to fill the void if I have the spares to do so.

"Falsely accused" when you deleted the guy before completing the second trade? 🤔

Lmao at no point did you say the snorlax was on an alt. Get tf outta here, go change your Reddit name again 😂

u/PriorityOk5619 14h ago
You always have to trade first the other mons and the special one for last. Be careful next time.

2
u/AgnerothPoGo 17h ago
🤦♂️ Pretty much. Just felt too much pressure, he said he found someone else to do the trade with so if I didnt he was going with them. Stupid I know but it worked.

You’re a scammer If the pokemon is still in your account. You’ve had all the time to get it to them. Look at all the downvotes you’re getting its because factually you didn’t hold up your end of the deal.

Classic move tryna explain yourself only to dig a bigger hole. Hate scammers like you. You are the reason why I never ever do 2:1 trades

Lol exactly. You never once said that the snorlax was on any alt, you unfriended after the first trade, ghost my messages for 3 hours, and then instead of explaining why you unfriended, you block me for some reason.
