Still a pixel scam. But o well, there are many diffrent points on this "scam quit" situation.
If it involves real life money, its a internet fraud that can be taken to police. In my country we have a forum where people deal with RS gold/accounts and some get scammed(mostly deals go trough with real life money) and the name where the money was sent will be taken to police and rest is up to police and the scammers have paid back mostly who isnt stupid and still get punished for internet fraud.
^ Thats the real life money scam quit thing. Not smart
