Hey guys!
So last friday i bought a rank1 warlock from John (animalcrackr) (<- thats his skype). I talked to dontb0therme previously about the transaction but he thought this guy a little bit fishy.
He seemed fine with me, he had verified paypal, send me id scans, pics about his credit card and anything. Im going to post his id somewhere so if someone could tell if its fake or not that would be awesome.
So i payed him $450 and he gave me all the details of the account. I logged in changed the email, and xfered the lock to a new server but the account got permanently banned. I told him about it and he recovered the account but he said that he has got a buyer and hes going to sell the warlock to this guy and just refund me the $450.
I was okay thats cool but after he sold it to FancyMMO (he told he he bought the lock, and posted it up here http://www.epicnpc.com/wow-usa-acco...d-warlock-3x-glad-legendary-staff-decked.html just giving a heads up do NOT buy that account its a scam)
I contacted fancymmo but he did not care at all and told me to go **** myself. Very nice from a trusted person...
I opened a dispute on paypal (unfortunately) saying that i bought virtual goods but they do not cover them.
Any helps how to get my money back?
By the way here is a template if needed but this John is not on epicnpc. He had a profile on MaskedCrusader but was banned for no reason i think: View Profile: animalcrackr - Trade WoW Accounts - World of Warcraft Account Trading - MaskedCrusader.com

account banned
[2012.08.09. 18:34:05] barney: ***Notice of Account Closure***
Account Name: WOW1
Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy
This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy.
Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.
We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: Impact of Buying Gold - Services - World of Warcraft
The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at Blizzard Entertainment:Blizzard Legal Documentation. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.

So last friday i bought a rank1 warlock from John (animalcrackr) (<- thats his skype). I talked to dontb0therme previously about the transaction but he thought this guy a little bit fishy.
He seemed fine with me, he had verified paypal, send me id scans, pics about his credit card and anything. Im going to post his id somewhere so if someone could tell if its fake or not that would be awesome.
So i payed him $450 and he gave me all the details of the account. I logged in changed the email, and xfered the lock to a new server but the account got permanently banned. I told him about it and he recovered the account but he said that he has got a buyer and hes going to sell the warlock to this guy and just refund me the $450.
I was okay thats cool but after he sold it to FancyMMO (he told he he bought the lock, and posted it up here http://www.epicnpc.com/wow-usa-acco...d-warlock-3x-glad-legendary-staff-decked.html just giving a heads up do NOT buy that account its a scam)
I contacted fancymmo but he did not care at all and told me to go **** myself. Very nice from a trusted person...
I opened a dispute on paypal (unfortunately) saying that i bought virtual goods but they do not cover them.
Any helps how to get my money back?
By the way here is a template if needed but this John is not on epicnpc. He had a profile on MaskedCrusader but was banned for no reason i think: View Profile: animalcrackr - Trade WoW Accounts - World of Warcraft Account Trading - MaskedCrusader.com

account banned
[2012.08.09. 18:34:05] barney: ***Notice of Account Closure***
Account Name: WOW1
Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy
This account was closed because one or more characters were identified exchanging, or contributing to the exchange of, in-game property (items or gold) for "real-world" currency. This exchange process negatively impacts the World of Warcraft game environment by detracting from the value of the in-game economy.
Even if this is the result of account sharing, the account owner can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.
We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article: Impact of Buying Gold - Services - World of Warcraft
The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at Blizzard Entertainment:Blizzard Legal Documentation. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.
If you believe your account was compromised, please go to the following website https://us.battle.net/account/support/account-recovery.html. Our support staff will assist you as soon as possible. If you are unable to access your account due to the password being changed, please visit our Login Support site here: https://us.battle.net/account/support/password-reset.html
