Hi all

A User on Itch.io creating RPG Maker Plugins has been advertising his services for paid commission but is not producing what he has been paid for. He has effectively scammed a number of people - including myself - out of money and continues to try and do so on Itch.

Can someone enlighten me on what steps can be taken to report this guy? Asked on Discord and was soundly ignored. 

I'm for sure not getting my money back but I feel its irresponsible to do nothing to prevent others from losing there money also.

You can try to contact support, but you're describing informal transactions taking place outside itch.io, so I'm not sure what staff can do about it.

Thank you for the prompt response and agreed. For clarity, I am not seeking any refund or action to be taken in relation to my own losses.

However, they are advertising these services on Itch.io and i think it is important to try and protect others from this behaviour. Not sure what can be done  exactly- but i would hope steps can be taken to prevent him from fishing for victims via this platform.

I have sent an email to support@itch. Hopefully they will look into it.

Even if no action is taken - which would be a shame - I'm satisfied I've done my bit by trying to make the appropriate people aware.
