If You Were Scammed: How to Save Evidence and Report It
The first few minutes after an incident matter most. Evidence scrolls out of the chat window and is gone.
Step 1. Take screenshots right away
- Press Print Screen and the screenshot is saved in the Screenshots folder inside the game folder.
- What to capture: the chat where you agreed on the deal, the trade window or mail, loot messages, and any screen that shows the other character's name.
- If the chat has already scrolled away, scroll the chat window up to find the part and capture it.
Step 2. Turn on chat logging (optional)
Type /chatlog in the chat window and later chat is saved to a file in the Logs folder inside the game folder. It is a good idea to turn it on beforehand if you trade often. Type it again to turn it off.
Step 3. Report in game
Right-click the other character's name and use the report option in the menu. Report harassment, bots and impersonation there right away.
Step 4. Contact Blizzard support (for account theft and similar)
For things you did not do yourself, such as an account takeover, contact Blizzard support. Note that Blizzard generally does not restore items or gold lost in trades that players agreed to.
Step 5. Post a report on Sasage Forever
Even if you can't get back what you lost, you can stop the same character from hurting others. On the report page, enter the other player's name and surname, confirm the character by its portrait, and submit.
- Upload your screenshots to an image host and paste the links into the incident description.
- Don't include real names, phone numbers or other personal information from outside the game.
- If someone has already reported the same character and it happened to you too, click "This happened to me too."
- Reports are written by users and stay unverified until the site operator checks the evidence. Stick to what happened and attach evidence so readers can judge for themselves.
