Other information:
Bought a triple legend endgame account from this guy, originally found him on playerauctions, convinced him to use a middleman and sell the account to me on here, talked to him for days he seemed really nice and transparent (don't they all). Finally after almost a week of mulling it over and deciding to finally trust the guy and fork over $2100 I paid for the account on here. I played the account since the 6th until tonight. Until out of no where someone messages me saying hey, you look like Alexis, why did you change your name? I ignored it, then 20 minutes later the guy started putting me on blast in mentor chat (pretty much global chat) saying I was a hacker and a scammer and I stole Alexis's account and ALEXIS HAD TOLD THEM LAST WEEK HE THOUGHT HIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED. I tried to ignore as much as I could until I found out it was his ENTIRE ex-raiding group he put up to this and fed them a lie about his account being stolen, I am sure they were keeping tabs on me since the second I logged in. I changed the characters name, left FC (was empty anyway was just him and wife and a few others) I left all LS's and global LS's etc., the ONLY reason I didn't transfer the character was because he owned a nice house on the server and I didn't want to lose the house, I KNEW I should of just transferred but I thought I would be fine, I mean who is that nosey and gives a **** that much if someone wants to change their name, or leave a linkshell. But to be honest whether I transferred or not it wouldn't of mattered it would of looked equally suspicious since Alexis had already set it up and alerted his group of his account being hacked, so whether i stayed and changed the name and left stuff, or transferred abruptly they would of found me out and did the same thing, if Alexis was truly serious about selling his account he would of told his FC and all his raiding groups his goodbyes and that he was leaving.... This was planned and very malicious and deceiving, apparently he didn't do his homework before setting up such a thing. this isn't WoW buddy you don't get the account back it becomes COMPROMISED and NO ONE gets to play it.

this is about the only thing i salvaged, because i sent this to alexis on discord asking what to say to this person
 
Please post an entire conversation image
 
At this point he got me... nothing can be done, this was carefully planned between him and his buddies.. theres no proof or evidence since i have about 4 days of text looking like ive had a conversation with myself. he deleted all comments.. he ****ed me. now i am out $2100 AND an account. good for him. he probably managed to get the account back too
 
Can I just make a request and recommendation? The middleman did their job and I did indeed receive the account and was able to play it albeit briefly... but I probably could of just ignored the guys friend all together if i had all the necessary information like the original CD key / and the name on the account first and last. not like it matters there is probably 23923092392 john smiths anyway. i dont feel like that is giving too much info..
