MUT Trade Scam

So yesterday this dude <edited for name and shame>  offered me 99 Lott, 99 Calvin, 99 Woodson for my UL 99 Sherman, I wanted to accept a deal to know he was in but he didn't budge due to the fact those players are 400k each so after sending him the offers I didn't trust him at first but stupidly did after he said his team was a 99 overall, I then offered my Sherman on Calvin and he declined the rest basically scamming 750k from me, the dude put my Sherman on the auction block in my face and probably scammed some more people with it, with all the 99s he offered me I'm sure he had built his team the SCAMMING PEOPLE way, would EA or XBOX LIVE do something about this?

    Unfortunately there is nothing that EA will likely do. You arranged a trade with multiple parts which is not built into the game. The only way he would have gotten your cards is if you accepted a trade in game. The cards are gone. If you want to do multiple card trades in the future you are better off using a middleman that both sides trust and agree on. If the other guy refuses to use a middleman, he's probably trying to scam you. Middlemen can be found in many places but the official EA forums found here http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/categories/show/221.page have a system of indexed reputation threads that help you to establish whether a trader or a middleman is legit.

  • Can Xbox ban him? As I have already reported him and this dude has a reputation for doing this which I didn't know about at the time. EA should really fix this in madden 16 by allowing people to do like 1 for 2, 1 for 3, etc. That's pretty sad man.
