I wonder how thorough the Special Task Force investigate RMT and cheating. There are rumours and gossips about innocent and legit players getting banned along with the RMTs, or so they claimed to be innocent and legit.

I'm asking because some stranger just bought my extremely overpriced materia and I want to contact the person to ask if it was a mistake or intentional.

However, considering all the myths I've heard about people getting wrongfully banned, it scares me to imagine if that person is a RMT or a cheater, and if in the future they get banned and if my transaction (if I return some of their money) shows up in the whatever history that the investigation team find, and if I get banned because I've traded with the banned person before.

I'm probably overthinking but I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this. A dev's answer or a GM's answer will also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
