I don't know if this is a prank by swifteera or has been really scammed. This is very unfortunate

The question is where did swifteera get the Skype contact I have not even made any private messages between swifteera or been online for a while

I don't know if is you or not, your Skype or another ID, >.< all I know that I have been scammed, this guys whoever he is, you or not has got my money, now I don't really care about the ban, because my money apparently is not returning. I have learned a harsh lesson, not to even think of buying anther's game account, if you are not the same guy then am sorry he involved your user reputation in here. One another user gave me a Skype ID and told me its his (the thief), and that he tried to sell him the account too. He might do it again. Please add your Skype ID to the thread, so he cant use the same method again.

EDIT:

As I mentioned before, its part my fault too, I was so excited to get the account I did not think clearly I guess, this does not mean its not you, Jimmybob1, you could have made another Skype for that, but then again I should have asked you to reply to the thread, its too late now anyway. I'll pray whoever took my money burn in hell or burn in life at least.

Hmm, sorry Jimmybob1 it was my mistake for notifying you and not realizing it was an impersonator.

I searched the skype and couldn't find anything on our site.

I'm assuming he found your skype/contact info here and then contacted you on skype.

Going to move this to off site scammers

Swift do you have any other info we could use? More chat images/usernames/anything?

I am very angry that my thread has been invaded and swifteera has put negative feedback on my profile I have been a member since 2013 . Mods can you get this sorted please asap

Swifteera I do not have to list my Skype address. That is my personal Skype with family and friends aswell. If you pmed formally I would of provided you my Skype but I did not even receive a pm from you nor have I even spoken to you before.
 
I replied to the thread only, my mistake, I guess he/she took advantage of my little experience, I did purchase through other website once before, similar amount, and although I was scared but it went well, so I let my guard this time. Forgive me if am angry right now, I might remove the negative feedback later. Please do as many others do, and mention your contact information in the thread itself to avoid similar incidences.

And no, I only have Skype conversation, and the name of the guy & his bank account information I sent the money to (ENBD Account/Bitcoin), I have a screen of the payment itself, Mekesh Kumar or something, my colleague did the transfer from her bank account, as they both have accounts in the same bank for smoother process. I repaid my friend, as angry as I am, she is too even more pissed at the whole situation.

EDIT: I just noticed the negative feedback was removed? Seriously people, this is going no where, all you are doing is making me even more mad, close thread or trash it, seriously...what the heck.

If you guys did pay attention to what I have mentioned up+Skype log, you would know it was not done by WU, tried WU but the account I have made had trouble then so I had to call their support, it took them 2 days to fix it eventually. So the transaction was wired via Bank Transfer, called the bank and they informed me that as its personal so there nothing that can be done, to be more specific it was a Bitcoin Bank Transfer, I don't really understand Bitcoin, I have made an account but there is a restriction to send or receive Bitcoin in UAE (where I live), its not a well known method of payment, I do online shopping frequently so I had an idea what is Bitcoin.

Any how, am not the first or that last person to get scammed, got to move on.

Thanks for trying guys.
 
Wanted to share, just now someone added me to Skype claiming to be Exoticgaming1717, and linked the account attempting to sell me Level 60 Legacy Account! 1 x 200 pld relic and 7x i170 Relics, saying he bought it from the guy already and he buys and sells accounts. He even linked ★★Ω♣WTS Custom built accounts! Build your dream account & be the owner!♣Ω★★

Since the real Exoticgaming1717 had his Skype shared, I contacted him when I had my doubts, and warned him.

2 things made me suspicious:

I was the only contact in this impersonator Skype account,
Also, I could compare IDs so could see the difference,
So, I added the real Exoticgaming1717 to confirm my suspicions.

Does this happen often? omg.

Am so glad I could see through this one!

EDIT:
Wanted to add, that this scammer said Epicnpc don't do middleman services any more, and he refused Trade Guardian because he doesn't deal with Tokens, apparently he is very well aware of this website system.
