Someone asked to have all my Treasure Cards and he'd gift me a Fire Mastery Amulet. I did. He didn't. Is there any way to see to it he is addressed about his misbehavior? His character name is Chris DragonHeart. My character name is James.
Be sensible young Wizards, and ask yourselves if this person is really going to give you an item worth $30 of real money just for a few free Treasure Cards - the answer is, no, they're not. They're going to take your Treasure Cards and disappear. It's not a very nice thing to do, but all trades must be agreed upon by both parties. If the trade sounds too good to be true, it probably is, so don't accept the trade.
Please remember, reporting someone for 'scamming' you out of Treasure Cards is not valid, since you both had to agree to the trade. If what you see in the Trade window is not fair, regardless of what the player told you, don't agree to the trade, simple as that. Caveat emptor is a very powerful lesson to learn, young Wizards. Buyer Beware.

Really people?! Why on earth would anyone give you something worth almost 10000 crowns for treasure cards! My mind is blown every time falls for this.

As a 20something wizard, I can easily tell when something's fishy... but a 10-year-old probably can't. I don't know the OP's age, but it's something to consider~ a lot of us fail to see that most victims of scams like these are young kids, who aren't old enough to "know better".
I agree with Prof. Greyrose~ it's a tough lesson, and all of us need to learn it, but something needs to be done about this kind of exploitation (and that's what it is, since scammers take advantage of the fact that their behaviour is not reportable).
To the OP~ unfortunately, scamming is /not/ reportable. If you report this jerk, *your* account will be sanctioned~ I suggest removing him from your friends-list (because he had to be your friend, to initiate a TC trade), but not before clicking Ignore. That's all you can do~ hopefully, that will change one day.
Safe travels to you, and a thousand crafting quests upon those scammers!

Sorry, OP, but, "Caveat Emptor" would be the phrase here, I believe. In the future, before you do this sort of thing, say to yourself: "Stop, go back a minute, do I really believe he is going to give me an item bought with money if I give him Treasure Cards I got for free?" Because he isn't going to.
Once I asked for a simple heartsteel when my friend said he had 60,000 crowns. He asked why he should, i said because i was his friend, he said nah and deleted me. I don't even know the lesson learned here.

Most people I know, myself included, believe it is rude to ask people to gift you. A gift should be initiated by the giver only. When friends, especially online friends ask me to gift them something, I begin to wonder if the only reason they want to be friends is to get something from me. If you want something, earn it.

The lesson learned here may be don't even beg from your friends?

Well, that lesson, though a painful one it would be, is that people don't normally spend money on their friends for no reason. They consider it rude to beg. I consider it rude too, actually. Don't worry, I don't think that you, yourself, are rude. I just think it was a lapse of judgement.
