Gambling is a losing proposition in the long run so if they really did scam you out of a GTC, all they did was save everyone involved some time.

GTC scams are legal. I've run more than a few scams myself, and I think the ONLY two kind of scams that are not legal (or rather, bannable offenses) are character trade scams and imitation/misrepresentation scams. Also, if somebody plays the "meta game" and tracks you down IRL they are doing something really dangerous, and whatever the scam is that involves actually contacting you out of game could get the scammer banned. I don't know all of the variables that could be involved in something like that, but I would bet customer service would take a very hard look at such a scam and it might not turn out well for the scammer.

So, no character trade scams, no imitation scams, and keep it in game. Follow those rules and there's no law.

TIL: GTC scams are not legal. There sure were a lot of GTC scams in Jita local before PLEX existed though... welp. The more you know...
