Fake Coins
MAFIA-LDR-CHRIS, MAFIA CA$H
Supposedly, MAFIA-LDR-CHRIS and MAFIA CA$H are the same person, having multiple accounts. Screenshot 1 shows the apartment of someone named “chris_________”. He happens to be on my buddy list. About 4 months ago or so, I ended up at his apartment. He was claiming to be “YoVille’s richest man”. At that time he was offering accounts for $5 dollars. In his message box, he had all the details about it. Pay $5 dollars, and you’d have an account with unlimited speed and energy and 1 million coins. I didn’t’ take the time to report it to YoVille.
Screenshot 1: also shows posts by MAFIA CA$H, directing you to those websites for free coins.
Screenshot 2: shows an event made by MAFIA-LDR-CHRIS and he was at the bottom of the screen bombarding balloons 20 at a time.
Screenshot 3: An event selling WBM, fountain, hot tubs, and other collectibles was set up. MAFIA-LDR-CHRIS showed up wanting everything. You can see that he says by mistake “AND YOU CAN HIDE UNDERGROUND BE INVISIBLE……”. I assume he had forgotten to turn off his auto-typer and the lines showed up. Obviously this shows he’s one of the ones advertising the ‘coin websites’.
Screenshots named ‘mafia cash #”, are of an event she set up, and you can see she’s off the screen at the bottom. She advertises the ‘coin websites’ as well (see 1.jpg).
Below is some information I gathered from the YoVille Discussion Boards.

Scam o Rama 2 (October 27, 2008 at 4:23pm) |
NEW SCAM!! Many posts already on this but thought I'd add it to this fantastic post FAKE MONEY TRADE You trade with someone (main culprit at the moment appears to be Mafia Chris (also seen Mafia Cash) trade seems to be going well, he puts in the right amount of cash, you put in the correct item, then the trade window dissapears. You restart the trade, again correct item, correct cash, trade goes through, he has your item, but his cash has dissappeared! your out of pocket, he leaves before you can do anything. Apparently if this happens then before restarting the trade, leave the appartment and come back, this prevents him from carrying out the scam (no idea how, but apparently it works) if the trade window "dissapears" again, then my advice would be to report him, block him and boot him. Once can be an accident, twice is deliberate |
