Hello MD, I am here today to warn you guys of a very big low-life scammer. Info as follows...

AIM Name: Ghettoboxd
RL Name: Christopher REMOVED
Location: REMOVED
Age: 23
Phone #: REMOVED
Amount: $680
Method: Western Union

Character in question: Grayson of Fusion (Scarab Lord, high end warrior) have CONFIRMED the real Grayson is in no way associated to this.

Recently I made a deal with Chris for an account he had listed on another site. Obviously, there was no buyer protection and I had contacted him from his post name matching his AIM SN. I confirmed it was him posting, he claimed to be selling a very high end warrior. After about 2 hours of random chatter (I am very familiar with the area he is located, which was one reason I didn't expect him to be dumb enough to scam me) and him giving me tons of personal information, including address, phone number, age, location, and me quickly matching it to both a facebook and myspace I figure it was a green light for the trade. He claimed to be at work (he is unemployed) saying he couldn't do the account trade just yet, but would do it immediately after work after picking up the WU. I sent the money, received a confirmation of him getting it, and he then went to ignoring me.

I have spent several hours contacting multiple friends/family of him in order to get in contact. He has signed on AIM a couple of times since and continued to lie about the situation and pretending he still has the account, but won't give me it without a mailing address which makes no sense. I have confirmed he is NOT the owner of the account in question as I have spoken to the real owner in-game, via his guild forums, and through AIM.

I have not had much success from contacting family/friends and have learned from them that he is in heavy debt to multiple people and is a huge liar. I am next going to contact authorities and see if anything can be made from this situation. I know he has a MD name also "ghettoboxd", but his account listing was not associated with MD at all.

Here's some AIM logs, unfortunately I lost the original log of him stating what I would be receiving for my money, but what you see here clearly points to questionable behavior, plus the fact that I (a repped long-time MD poster) am bothering to make a big deal out of this shows I clearly did not get what I have paid for.



Talinos23 (12:30:26 PM): You say you'll be back in ten minutes

Talinos23 (12:34:31 PM): I'm confused somewhat
Talinos23 (12:34:51 PM): I spoke with the guy, he said he was grayson in fusion. The armory you gave me was grayson in fusion.

Ghettoboxd (12:36:46 PM): anyways
Ghettoboxd (12:36:50 PM): if you made any notion of selling
Ghettoboxd (12:37:01 PM): then you are risking the account, and im already in the clear and picked up
Talinos23 (12:37:11 PM): notion of selling?
Ghettoboxd (12:37:24 PM): so if you magically transfer away, i garauntee you they'll throw 300 reports up

Ghettoboxd came back from idle at 1:04:12 PM
Ghettoboxd signed off at 1:05:00 PM


*DOESNT COME BACK UNTIL THE NEXT DAY*

We start talking the next day because I've been hounding his brother to get him to at least talk to me to make something of the situation. He continues to lie and pretend he is the owner, yet once again I have spoken with the owner and absolutely nothing adds up. He starts off asking me for a mailing address to send the info so that he can prove he has sent me the information and cover his own [censored] (though he has already received money, clearly trying to cover himself in case he gets law enforcement asking him for proof that he delivered the item in question). I deny giving him an address and ask that if he wants to mail me information first I need to see him log on the character...

Talinos23 (5:43:39 PM): How about you just give me a refund for my money?
Talinos23 (5:43:43 PM): You didn't tell me anything..
Ghettoboxd (5:43:52 PM): sure, i can get to that this weekend at the earliest
Ghettoboxd (5:44:00 PM): I said above -
Ghettoboxd (5:44:14 PM): you have a CFO there, and an address to send mail, right?
Talinos23 (5:44:36 PM): -THERE IS NOTHING TO BE MAILED-
Ghettoboxd (5:44:39 PM): Information will gladly go out in an envelope, signed for in two spots
Ghettoboxd (5:44:42 PM): oh yes, yes there is
Ghettoboxd (5:44:49 PM): because that is the only way to prove that you got something
Ghettoboxd (5:44:53 PM): or any effort on my part
Talinos23 (5:44:55 PM): Get on the character now and prove that it is you?
Ghettoboxd (5:45:00 PM): other than a "here ya go dude"
Talinos23 (5:45:03 PM): If you do that I will follow your demands
Ghettoboxd (5:45:15 PM): I dont have wow installed on a work comp, anyways
Ghettoboxd (5:45:17 PM): its not a demand
Talinos23 (5:45:19 PM): Go figure.
Ghettoboxd (5:45:26 PM): an address shouldnt be something hard to give out
Ghettoboxd (5:45:33 PM): not like you have anything to worry about from me
Talinos23 (5:45:38 PM): I really don't want to be involved with you further than I already am
Ghettoboxd (5:45:39 PM): But if you want your money, we'll go that way
Ghettoboxd (5:45:49 PM): Okay, that's perfectly understandable
Talinos23 (5:45:58 PM): I would like a full refund through Paypal
Ghettoboxd (5:46:23 PM): you can go back to our original conversation, i do not tie my bank or card information to my paypal
Ghettoboxd (5:46:33 PM): i will not, i do not
Talinos23 (5:46:36 PM): Strange how you can offer tons of people high end WoW accounts
Talinos23 (5:46:42 PM): That clearly you do not own
Talinos23 (5:46:58 PM): I mean, unless you raid on 4 different servers at the same time
Ghettoboxd (5:47:00 PM): Well, think what you want. I've never had any issues
Ghettoboxd (5:47:04 PM): anyways
Ghettoboxd (5:47:10 PM): So, you tell me where it needs to go
Talinos23 (5:47:13 PM): I found a post already of someone calling you a scammer Chris
Ghettoboxd (5:47:15 PM): at this weekend at the earliest, or
Ghettoboxd (5:47:23 PM): yes, the wonders of paypal
Ghettoboxd (5:47:27 PM): which is why i dont deal in that
Talinos23 (5:47:32 PM): it had nothing to do with paypal
Ghettoboxd (5:47:41 PM): So, anyways
Ghettoboxd (5:47:50 PM): What will it be? I dont really have all day
Talinos23 (5:48:00 PM): When will what be?
Talinos23 (5:48:12 PM): I'll be contacting you tonight and the rest of your family throughout the day
Talinos23 (5:48:29 PM): I'll be contacting the police as well and getting everything started, they told me it can be cancelled if everything is resolved
Ghettoboxd (5:48:46 PM): Right, i've done my part on my end, too
Talinos23 (5:48:48 PM): You have once again provided no solution for a very fixable problem
Ghettoboxd (5:48:59 PM): I told you, you want your money, sure, where does it go
Talinos23 (5:49:00 PM): You've done absolutely nothing but provide me with even more evidence
Ghettoboxd (5:49:03 PM): i'll get to it this weekend
Ghettoboxd (5:49:07 PM): you want the account? sure
Ghettoboxd (5:49:15 PM): Toss me an address and we'll go from there
Talinos23 (5:49:22 PM): I want proof that you are Grayson
Talinos23 (5:49:28 PM): Yet you cannot provide it in any sense
Talinos23 (5:49:38 PM): You're always at work and unable to prove anything
Ghettoboxd (5:49:52 PM): I have screenshots of my warrior, in fact, in the sesne on why you went foward with it
Talinos23 (5:49:53 PM): Just like you were at work when I sent you money that you conveniently were able to pick up


The stupid bickering continues, he likes to be a smug smartass in all of this thinking I'm a moron. He offers to return the money in person if I get someone to come pick it up. He claims he is from Charlotte (have proved he is not).

We talk talk talk for a while, he thinks I'm convinced that he's actually going to deliver the account.. basically all working up til I can catch him in a direct lie, and of course, I do.

Talinos23 (9:03:41 PM): so they call him chris but thats not his name?
Ghettoboxd (9:03:48 PM): no, thats my name
Ghettoboxd (9:03:58 PM): that email was originally setup to foward emails to me from the boards
Talinos23 (9:04:13 PM): how long have you been in fusion?

Ghettoboxd (9:08:54 PM): site has been torn down and rebuilt 3-4 times
Ghettoboxd (9:09:19 PM): the db should of made it, i dont think they changed actual board, though
Talinos23 (9:11:08 PM): ever been in paradox?
Ghettoboxd (9:12:31 PM): paradox? No,

Ghettoboxd came back from idle at 10:01:39 PM

Guy has said he'd call me to resolve this, never does. I guess he's just trying to drag it out until I give up or something?

Either way, watch out for this guy in any kind of transaction.
 
Wasn't a thread here. I just know that there is a user on MD named "Ghettoboxd". This is a pretty unique username that he seems to use about 20 different places on the internet.


As for the money, sad as it is, his mother and his brother are going to be working out a way to refund me. I think it's pathetic on so many levels. It is a very bad situation with him at the moment and even when they refund the money I think it's important this thread stays so that they won't have to pay for future mistakes he makes hopefully as far as scamming WoW accounts.
 
Why would his parents pay you the $680.00 USD back? Why don't they take the money from him and give to you? Did he spend it already? That is really low this kid.

This is the thread that led me to him...


And yeah, it's pathetic. He STILL hasn't admitted to me the situation. I called his mom at work and spoke to her. She's extremely upset about the whole situation and has been nothing but kind. She apparently got on him about it and he just lied lied lied about everything. Same with his brother. The guy has some serious issues. Though, she told me that she will work to pay me back as soon as possible and apologized for the entire mess. There's a bit more to it, but I'm not going to drag him through the mud further than necessary on here. It's a sad story, really and I feel bad for having to receive money from two people who had nothing to do with the incident.
 
checked..this user was last on : 10/11/08 04:02 PM
I'm closing the account. There is really not much else we can do I suggest you ask EGS for assistance. Thanks for the heads up.
