Help NEEDED!: Wootenprodigy's feedback

[ixiPARKSixi]

Hey everyone, I just bought Wootenprodigy's mage he had up forsale at this Link:http://www.markeedragon.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3229706#Post3229706

Theres NO level 80 MAGE to be found on this account, he provided me all the information like he said he would, the accounts under my control, but no level 80 toon, He says its WoW, that the toon should be there, I checked the xfer status on the account if a toon was recently or ever transfered off, but nothing.

Also, When I signed into the account and went to the realm he's listed on, it showed 3 toons on the realm, I clicked it and only 2 are showing up, now when I log into the game it shows as 2 toons being listed on the realm.

Have I been scammed? or whats going wrong!

1. If there is no mage on the account, why are you bothering asking? Obviously, you were scammed lol.

2. Generally when a character is transfered off it will say there is an extra character on that realm that isn't actually there. But it would show up in transfer page. So maybe he recovered the mage onto an older account it was on, or if he wasn't original owner, the original owner might have recovered it.

Either way, if the mage isn't there, you were scammed. I highly suggest recovering what you gave him asap. Even if he says he will refund you with a new mage or account, or if he claims he will help get mage back, get what you gave him back as fast as possible. Once you have your account back, work from there, but the longer he has your account, the greater the chance is that he will damage/sell/trade it.

Also you should post in the scammer section with the Template/proof...

He's told me he'd refund me my money, but until I've received the money then ya I'll be in the process of that, I received word from WoW admin that the toons issue was part of an "unauthorized character transfer" so they cant help me, its gotta be on the original account he trasfered it from.

basically Im pissed cause he has substantial rep with markee and people on here also, so hopefully he stands up to his rep and returns me my money. thanks for the help

If he doesn't respond to me and doesn't return my money, I paid through WU, is there a process to go through to get my money back?

 

[ixiPARKSixi]

Still no response from him, He's on AIM with an Available status, his phone number is listed but wont answer his cell now. So im gonna believe I've been scammed now. I dont know how to give him bad rep for this!

How could I post about this on his rep.

 

[Mordred69]

Do a scammer thread on him then, his AIM has been on for 2days tho...

Make sure to use the template and provide proof/logs and such

To your previous question about getting your money back if he refuses, unfortunately it is a hard task to do so. The only thing you can really do, is contact the police. Depending on how much he stole, the better the chance you have at getting your money back. If it was less than $100, I don't think they will help. I have not had to file anything with police, so I am not the expert on this, I just figure it would cost more for you to get the money back if it's less than $100, especially if you try and get court involved.

I also am not too familiar with WU, but there may be some option to get it back. If you have his number, you can always pay money to trace it to its location, and if it was a lot of money, you can always pay him a personal visit. Confrontation is probably the best solution to recovering your money, especially if it's a kid living with his parents. The last thing he would want is his parents finding out about his actions...

Also, as Mordred mentioned, open a scammer thread asap. Make sure to follow the template provided in the sticky, as Mods/Admins will sometimes ignore your post until it is provided in the correct format. After opening it, the mods will review, and then generally a time frame will be set for the "scammer" to refund you. If he doesn't, his account is banned. So it's a good ideal to open the thread as soon as you can, and if he refunds you, you can request the thread to be locked.

No way to get it back via WU, but they have records and he did have to show his ID to pick it up, to easy to file criminal charges, i've done it a couple times, its a misdemenor also, i cant spell nor do i care

Good luck
