Georgie and Sulve, Staff and Player, Perfect Scam Plan. (Do not trust either of these players)

Intro
Let me be clear. This has no concrete proof other than the fact that Sulve has admitted to this (in-game) twice.. although he'll most likely deny it here to cover his scamming tendencies. He has also personally admitted to me that he is not 18, and he is 12. Okay with all this in mind, if you're still reading, that means you still follow. Continue and find out exactly how this scam works and who've they've scammed, what they've scammed.

The Plan
This plan is very simple, very easy to follow, and is very direct. It is based primarily on trust, alot of trust. One may ask, how does a single prepubescent 12 year old gain so much trust from another player? Simple, with the help of a previously thought "helpful and trustworthy" staff member. It was only yesterday when a group of friends and I were discussing how helpful and deserving she was of getting Mod. Sorry, who am I talking about? Georgie. GeorgieMC. Here's how it goes. Sulve is looking for irl deals for rank upgrades etc, so when he finds a buyer, he asks them to go first. Obviously this is a setup for a scam, if you fell for this you deserved to get scammed. Naturally, many people say they can't trust Sulve. So he brings in Georgie, a staff member, to vouch for Sulve, offering to be the middle man. The person now trusts Sulve because a staff member vouched for him, so they pay Georgie the money. That's where they went wrong. Georgie then proceeds to keep the money, and Abra Kadabra the person got scammed. Such a case is Sizzlefish's scam. Sizzlefish was scammed by both Georgie and Sulve a couple days ago. Another case was FluffyCakesFTW. He was personally warned by multiple people that Sulve could not be trusted but like Sizzle, he was given Georgie's word and was scammed soon thereafter.

What do they scam?
What sucks about this scam is not that it's a scam... it's that it's a scam of irl money. This is money that people have worked for, people have labored for, that they are putting in towards the development and advancement of a video game server. This is horrible and the fact that this warrants no punishment is very saddening and disappointing.

Conclusion
This post was created not to bash anybody, to call out anybody, it was created purely with the intention to warn future players who are desperately looking for irl's during this wonderful sale that Marten has provided. Do not trust Georgie or Sulve, apparently scams are allowed and this includes irl scams. So once again, be careful and I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

It is very sad that if this is true. A staff member or anyone in general should not be scamming other players. It ruins the whole game plan and gives whoever does it a bad name. Nice post though, pretty good that you're keeping people aware of his doings.

Having my name on the forums described as a scammer is something that bothers and irritates me as it isn’t true.
If you want my side of the story keep reading.

So yesterday I was minding my own business, mining, and FluffyCakesFtw messages me saying "Is sulve trustworthy?" I messaged back something along the lines of "Sulve is my friend therfore I can trust him". I didn't know about the deal they were making at all. I just said Sulve was trustworthy because in my eyes he is but clearly it's only because I'm his friend. Then time passed and FluffyCakesFtw messages me saying he got scammed and I just was kinda like "oh....." There wasn't anything I can do as there was no rule against webstore scamming at the time. (There has been a change in the rules. Do read them here: https://snapcraft.net/rules/) I felt bad for them. I really did but there was obviously nothing I could do.

I have never scammed anyone in my life. As a player and of course not as a helper. I put myself in the other players shoes and it doesn't feel good to be scammed so I just would'nt do something like that. I've been scammed multiple times and as you may know it's not nice. I wouldn't do that to someone else and like I said, never as a helper.

Anyway that is my side of the story.
I hope you take the time to think about what I have said before spreading more false accusations about me.

I do not think Georgie would do such a thing. Plus, you make a good point Cosmolegend. Are you the person who got scammed by these people?
