Post to scammers profile: http://www.epicnpc.com/members/204995-CookieMilk

Backround: Selling my inactive WoW account, he approached me on skype under the screen name FourtyEight. Below you will find a link to the related thread, and a log of our skype conversation.

-Like most scammers, he seemed legit, didn't have a lot of rep but had some. Couldn't find anything bad about his screen name on skype or epicnpc. Only gave him login info and sq/sa, and after payment cleared the ID/cd keys. He logged in after some complications with battle.net, said it looked alright and payment was being sent. Then any further contact was not received on his end. I have already cleared it up with blizzard and should have my account back shortly.

-I didn't think he was a scammer in part to knowing that an intelligent scammer would know they would not get far with the info i had given him, and the account still tied to my phone....Anyways, logs are below.

[12:37:05 PM] Fourtyeight: wow account
[12:38:13 PM] *** Whiskeylol has shared contact details with Fourtyeight. ***
[12:38:18 PM] Whiskeylol: [7:48 AM] Whiskeylol:


*armory links here*


Anything else please let me know.
[12:39:15 PM] Fourtyeight: whats the highest offer right now?
[12:42:36 PM] Fourtyeight: hello?
[12:43:37 PM] Whiskeylol: [12:12 PM] Whiskeylol:


<<< highest offer so far is 215, another is 175. I can get 150ish from websites. So within that range. None of those outside the websites that i've dealt with are highly rep'd however. If i go through rep'd users on epicnpc i'm looking at about 175
[12:44:39 PM] Fourtyeight: i could do 220? there any way i can buy it asap? trying to get back into wow and yours is a perfect vanity acct
[12:49:09 PM] Fourtyeight: ?
[12:50:33 PM] Whiskeylol: Yeah that's alright. As a disclamer before this takes place, i stated in the post that I am OO so all contact info will be there and you'll have my number. The account name is a bogus french name, i did make a fake id for it ever got stolen. Never been traded or sold, had since 206. I don't shoot cd keys over until money is cleared. Is that fair? I'm trying to never have to come back to epicnpc you know.
[12:51:30 PM] Fourtyeight: yeah i got you man. so fake ID and CD keys after payment. but all normal info before if that works for you, i only use paypal tho cus i don't like any other payment forms
[12:51:43 PM] Fourtyeight: I'm verified as well
[12:51:53 PM] Fourtyeight: so money will be over in seconds
[12:51:56 PM] Fourtyeight: i hope you are too
[12:52:23 PM] Whiskeylol: I agree, paypal agreed. You'll get all the info and id, cd keys after clear. I am verified. [email protected]
[12:53:08 PM] Fourtyeight: Alright. you can't send email/pass/sa before payment? then ID and CD keys. this is usually what people do.
[12:54:04 PM] Whiskeylol: login i'd give out, now sq/a till after payment. That way you can see it's real and what now, but if you had sq/a then i'd be in a position to have to send in id/cd keys and go through verification to retrieve it you know
[12:55:06 PM] Fourtyeight: i know but theres the possibility you could recall immediately after i send payment cus i don't have the sqa.
[12:55:32 PM] Fourtyeight: it's just ID and CD keys after the payment.
[12:56:38 PM] Whiskeylol: Are you rep'd?
[12:57:28 PM] Whiskeylol: concern on both parties is good, usually means it's more of a serious transaction.
[12:58:28 PM] Fourtyeight: sorry I'm at school so some replies might be delayed
[12:58:36 PM] Fourtyeight: heres my current rep. its not much
[12:58:37 PM] Fourtyeight: http://www.epicnpc.com/itrader.php?u=204995
[1:00:10 PM] Fourtyeight: the Skype on some posts is old one. it got hacked so i told everyone not to message me on that
[1:01:11 PM] Whiskeylol: Alright, I'll agree. Are you able to send payment quickly?
[1:01:35 PM] Fourtyeight: yeah, as soon as i get info. payment will be in your account as soon as a few seconds.
[1:01:57 PM] Whiskeylol: Alright agreed. --------- toss me a text so you've got my number
[1:02:09 PM] Fourtyeight: alright.
[1:02:17 PM] Fourtyeight: I'm from california
[1:02:20 PM] Fourtyeight: you?
[1:02:43 PM] Whiskeylol: Madison, WI - However, i'm from sacramento, you north or south?

[1:09:17 PM] Whiskeylol: chrome sucks up so much bandwidth it's crazy, i just noticed that a couple days ago
[1:09:23 PM] Fourtyeight: yeah :/

[1:17:10 PM] Fourtyeight: lol nothing
[1:17:24 PM] Whiskeylol: hmm that's strange
[1:17:57 PM] Fourtyeight: i know why now
[1:18:03 PM] Whiskeylol: I think the account section of battle.net is under maint. actually
[1:18:20 PM] Fourtyeight: it locks out IP's after messing up a few times.
[1:18:34 PM] Fourtyeight: and then the wait is like 15 min to get it back up
[1:18:49 PM] Whiskeylol: ahh
[1:18:56 PM] Fourtyeight: now we just wait lol
[1:19:06 PM] Fourtyeight: cus if you went to battle.net it'd work for you
[1:19:33 PM] Whiskeylol: I just got that error you got connecting to battle.net from my browser lol
[1:19:41 PM] Fourtyeight: yeah ahha so weird
[1:20:16 PM] Whiskeylol: i can't even connect to the wow website lol
[1:20:20 PM] Whiskeylol: how foolish
[1:20:23 PM] Fourtyeight: haha yeah me either
[1:20:42 PM] Whiskeylol: Are you going to play whatever expansion is coming out next?
[1:20:50 PM] Fourtyeight: hell yea i can't wait
[1:21:35 PM] Whiskeylol: I wish i could've stayed in it, but pvp lost its luster from pre cata days, and no matter the guild there was always drama
[1:22:22 PM] Fourtyeight: hey man i hope that ID is legit cus if they notice its fake the account will get banned :/ and yeah i know. pvp was at its best at wrath. IMO wrath was the best xpac for pvp and pve
[1:24:41 PM] Whiskeylol: Well i made the ID as insurance should i ever decide to sell they wanted it. But that was back in like 2008 i made it. I've never touched the account in the market. So it's not a recent ID you know. Just adobe from back in the day.
[1:25:52 PM] Fourtyeight: oh okay I see. but yeah, you've heard what blizz does now with accounts that are like locked right? its crazy lol.
[1:26:37 PM] Whiskeylol: Negative, never had worry about it lol. I'm sure with how big account buying/selling/trading is by now they would've stepped it up.
[1:27:33 PM] Fourtyeight: haha yeah. oh hey are you sure its ----- or -------
[1:27:43 PM] Whiskeylol: I remember when ffxi was still booming, there were so many account theifs all over, even wow forum issues were bleeding into our forums.
[1:27:52 PM] Whiskeylol:--------
[1:28:01 PM] Fourtyeight: cus i tried on my phone i messed up and it IP locked me for 15 min again
[1:28:36 PM] Fourtyeight: damn yeah man scammers are really stepping their game up. i remember i think 8k accounts were hacked last year
[1:28:37 PM] Whiskeylol: (bing)
[1:29:37 PM] Whiskeylol: I wish i could've got my hands on how they changed account names, but they wanted like 500.00 for the service, and i just wanted my real name on this account. I tried with blizzard but even back in the day they were stingy on it
[1:29:59 PM] Fourtyeight: yeah i think back in TBC they were more lenient
[1:31:57 PM] Whiskeylol: I miss tbc
[1:32:12 PM] Fourtyeight: yeah thats when i started playing but my acct got banned lol
[1:32:44 PM] Whiskeylol: Is there a cool story behind it like obsurd language or something?
[1:33:21 PM] Fourtyeight: nah i got hacked :/ i tried getting it unbanned but they don't listen
[1:35:03 PM] Whiskeylol: lol
[1:35:35 PM] Whiskeylol: i remember reading all the rage about how when one person recalled their account, a huge epic chain of recalls happened
[1:35:52 PM] Fourtyeight: haha yeah it was insane. you been on markeedragon
[1:37:09 PM] Whiskeylol: yeah i sold a couple ffxi accounts on there. That was way worse than what i've heard about epicnpc. Could've just been the period of time but they were booming
[1:38:15 PM] Fourtyeight: yeah. yknw epicnpc is the same as markeedragon. owner of markeedrgon sold it to EpicNPC
[1:38:54 PM] Fourtyeight: so all old accounts are on epic
[1:39:03 PM] Whiskeylol: did not know that, did markee actually get shut down or they just merged it into epic npc
[1:39:54 PM] Fourtyeight: well marcus, owner of markeedragon couldn't handle all which was happening to MD. so he just sold it to epicnpc at $20k
[1:40:42 PM] Whiskeylol: not a bad chunck of change for just a website. I mean the traffic it generated was probably worth more than 20k, but the scrutiny he was getting for it was probably worth less lol
[1:42:17 PM] Fourtyeight: yeah he coulda got at least 25k. oh and it got locked out again. i logged in thru my phone.
[1:42:28 PM] Fourtyeight: the suspicious activity thing lol
[1:43:43 PM] Whiskeylol: let pop over and reset it
[1:43:48 PM] Fourtyeight: okay
[1:43:55 PM] Whiskeylol: got that stupid chrome error again
[1:44:00 PM] Fourtyeight: damn haha
[1:44:23 PM] Fourtyeight: ill just send a password reset and just send me the link so i can change it
[1:44:31 PM] Whiskeylol: k
[1:45:13 PM] Fourtyeight: whats the first and last name?
[1:45:22 PM] Whiskeylol: ---------
[1:49:02 PM] Fourtyeight: oh hey btw, how did you want the money? gift?
[1:49:10 PM] Whiskeylol: sure
[1:49:15 PM] Fourtyeight: okay
[1:49:32 PM] Fourtyeight: well everything checks out. give me a min to send money
[1:49:48 PM] Whiskeylol: no problem
[1:50:07 PM] Whiskeylol: finally beat the battle.net security checks
[1:50:19 PM] Fourtyeight: haha i know right
[1:58:47 PM] Whiskeylol: Do they put a hold on gifts when you send? Curious because i sold my gaming comp on ebay a month ago and they put a hold on that too.
[2:06:26 PM] Whiskeylol: No responses are usually bad indications
[3:59:04 PM] Whiskeylol: Account recovery form has been submitted, post has been made on epicnpc.

*I had sent him a text prior to the last skype message letting him know, "i know you're in class so i will wait an hour for a response*

Making this incident aware to avoid any members going down the same road. Happy hunting.

- - - Updated - - -

Just wanted to note, i did the account recovery and have my account back.

uh yeah
thats not me

my skype is c0okiemi1k, and i have no connection to WoW whatsoever, never played it, never will
some guy probably took my name from the League of Legends section as i have never posted anywhere else, except guild wars 2 page

i dont know how to verify that it wasn't me who traded with you, but it is NOT me

It's fairly simple to do some verification.

Vincent, please see the sticky and fill out the appropriate forms, including pictures that show the person's actual Skype you dealt with.
 
@Cookie, while i apologize if you're screen name was taken advantage of, there is no way to truly prove one way or the other :(

-Either way, i got my account back within a couple hours so i'm not worried about it.
 
the feedback has been removed.

Vincent, if you believe it was Cookiemilk, right click the Skype username in your list, select Profile Details and post a screenshot of that window. That shows the real Skype username.

Closing and updating the title of this thread in 24 hrs.
