Scam Information
######################
What was scammed? $55
Link of transaction thread: No thread, was all done in aim.
Was a middleman used? No
Describe how you were scammed: It all started with Bruhbruhwhatsup123's thread http://vbforums.mmobay.net/wow-usa-...60-85-hunter-ilvl-351-85-vanity-pally-oo.html.
I was really interested, so I offered him. He wasn't. Oh well. Few days later his friend JohnLennox contacts me and says they're RL friends and he's selling the account for a transfer and a race change ($55) - I oblige, and bruhbruh says that john is in fact his friend. (His real name isn't John, btw). Anyways the deal goes fine, I log onto his account and do the services, they give me all info and a fake ID (thought it was real at the time, never really inspected it much).
Few days later he tells me he misses his characters. I shrug it off, whatever. He's hella persistent though. Then he tells me a few days later that his account was closed because of an unauthorized transaction or something. Again, I shrug it off -- nothing I can do. Then he asks to do some heroics on the account he gave me, just until he gets his account back. I'm like yeah okay (I trust him at this point for some reason), I TAKE OFF MY AUTHENTICATOR and change the pass and send it to him.
Then he changes the email and pass. Derp. Of course.

Additional Information
######################
Did you do any background searching before the transaction? Yes
Have you traded with this person before? No
Approximately how many transactions have you done on MMOBay? 3-5
If any info can be given as to how to get my money back, please do tell. I also want to get back at this guy by getting the account banned. I botted on it for a few hours every day, made a few k and leveled JC and alch, lotta work done there I suppose. What do I say to prove he gave me his info? I know I was stupid to take off the authenticator, but really if he wanted his account back he could have emailed blizzard, I'm sure he would have.

Hmm, so your account is going to transfer IP's 3000 miles away, bot for hours straight, sell that **** in bulk on the AH and your excuse will be you got hacked? On top of the fact that I have trade logs, SQA, all that (not ID of course, but that's no big deal really)

John Lennox 10:29 pm

leonix 10:29 pm

just a questoin, was this planned from day one or did you only do it once the rogue got locked?
John Lennox 10:30 pm
rogue got locked
then realized
OH look
the rogue is locked too
you have an account for free
that is mine
MINE.
leonix 10:31 pm
for free? $55 ain't free but it's not that much either
John Lennox 10:31 pm
it's free
when the whole account is locked
lmfao
leonix 10:31 pm
so instead of talking to me so we could get the account unlocked (i have everything needed to prove the transaction was through "you") you decide to recall?
John Lennox 10:32 pm
i didn't recall
plus, you couldn't..
leonix 10:32 pm
you know what i mean when I say recall, it's much easier to type than "changed email and password after I willingly give you info"
I couldn't what?
prove it was me? hell yeah I can, i've got every bit of info from that CC down to a scan of my dad's ID, he lives like 20 ft away from me
John Lennox 10:33 pm
110 dollars
would of got it unlocked
i talked to blizzard
today
leonix 10:33 pm

WARRIOR PLUS ROGUE
leonix 10:33 pm
butwai
John Lennox 10:33 pm
55 + 55
leonix 10:34 pm
wait
so
you already paid 110 for the transfers and ****, then they lock it and need another 110 to prove it's you?
well, i already paid for it*
John Lennox 10:34 pm
yes.
that's how blizzard works
leonix 10:34 pm
that's doubtful really
btw, surprised at how much i'm not freaking out about this?
John Lennox 10:35 pm

**** gets banned
OH LOOK
I TRY TO GET IT UNBANNED
IF not
then i move on lol
get me banned on mmo
see if it matters.
i've been banned 4 times
let them keep rolling
leonix 10:37 pm
why would you let the account go to such waste over 110 dollars?
you're in a situation where neither of us are gonna be able to use it anymore
John Lennox 10:37 pm
i don't have 110 dollars like your dad has.
leonix 10:37 pm
yeah, but this is one of those situations where its like
if i can't have it, nobody will
John Lennox 10:38 pm
what account
leonix 10:38 pm
perdomo
John Lennox 10:38 pm
lol
you can think that all you want
leonix 10:38 pm
man, if i sent my account off 3000 miles away and they came forward to blizzard saying "I botted on this account, here's the logs to prove the guy willingly gave me his info"
they have no reason not to believe me and ban the account
John Lennox 10:39 pm
try it lol
i'll hit you up in 2 days
and let you know
leonix 10:39 pm
you feel so powerful don't you?
John Lennox 10:39 pm
nope
John Lennox 10:40 pm
i feel like your a dumbass for giving me the account willingly and took the authenticator off when i clearly pushed you to take it off
LOL
leonix 10:40 pm
if you really wanted the account back you could get it wihtout me removing the authenticator
John Lennox 10:40 pm
well i took the easy way
LOL
leonix 10:40 pm
the easy way for me too really
one way or another i'd have lost it
might as well not have to wait 2 days for blizz to process your email
John Lennox 10:41 pm
sure
leonix 10:43 pm
i mean **** i've been slaving to get those professions up, i'd have done it the next two days if you didn't step in
John Lennox 10:43 pm
lol and.
i can finish what you started.
leonix 10:44 pm
not the point
what i meant was, you saved me 2 days of more work
better to have lost it now than 48 hours from now
thats not even the big deal really, i just kinda want my money back
John Lennox 10:44 pm
take your money back
and then call it a night
go to sleep
leonix 10:44 pm
