Beware of damn_dkey / WoW.farming - Scammer

[dadadu]

Be careful with WoW.farming / damn_dkey

I got scammed for 200k WoW gold by the skype username damn_dkey who I think to believe is the same person as the skype username WoW.farming.

1. I traded successfully with WoW.farming for 250k on EU-Blackmoore from Horde to Alliance via auction house. The trade went fine and he paid in full. (13. April 2015)
2. On the same day I got contacted by damn_dkey who wanted 200k. I invited his character (cassio) into my guild and he withdrew the money. After getting the gold he claimed to have send the money but the "payment is in processing or something". After that I never heard from the contact again (http://i.imgur.com/DofapQi.jpg).

I used several skype-resolver websites to get the same IP from both accounts (one skype-resolver even showed the same LAN-IP):


- after confronting WoW.farming he claimed he got scammed by the same guy and gave me "his" IP address as proof
elekom.at which is from Austria while Skype shows him in Germany.
- EchoTiger from the Azyul+Botting Discussion agrees with my finding: http://i.imgur.com/T6blbm1.jpg (a few days later)

The day after the scam I got contacted by Max Power (maxpower2525) on skype asking about damn_dkey. damn_dkey linked to this profile (http://www.elitepvpers.com/theblackmarket/profile/4726565) which leads to his sale thread (http://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/world-warcraft-trading/3657856-thrall-eu-horde-only.html). Max says he then proceeded to only talk to the WoW.farming account after being contacted by damn_dkey first.

A few days later, the Skype contact from the elitepvpers profile changed from WoW.farming to damn_dkey while the thread stayed unchanged(http://i.imgur.com/601IMaJ.jpg).

I confronted WoW.farming with the conversation I had with Max and the epvp screenshot, but haven't gotten any reply ever. damn_dkey

TonyC/TehMorbid[EpicNPC Mod] tried to make sense of the whole thing today in Skype: WoW.farming claims not to be damn_dkey towards him.

I've talked with dadadu on skype to try to help get to the bottom of this, but figured it would be a good idea to also have him post it here. As far as I can tell, this person is running a "legit" skype and a scamming skype and trying to cover his tracks. WoW.farming claims to me in skype that he is not damn_dkey and that the screenshot that dadadu provided is a fake. He claims to have only done one trade with him. I was not able to resolve the IP of damn_dkey with a public resolver, however EchoTiger(Community Dev @ TheBuddyForums) confirms that both wow.farming and damn_dkey are both using the IP, except that WoW.farming also has an IP from Canada aswell, where damn_dkey does not.

There's no one registered here using any of those usernames or skypes and no match on any of the IPs.

He just opened a paypal dispute on the successful trade and send me the information via the damn_dkey account. I guess that proofs it after all.

Yeah, I checked already prior to having him post, just figured having more information out in the public was best. Hopefully he will not have a chance in the future to scam anymore. Going to be passing the word to OC and ePvP aswell.
