NewYorke99 on AIM = Just scammed me out of $100 BEWARE!

[Hellwatts]

WARNING: DO NOT do business with this guy. Sure he has great feedback but it's from things he's *BOUGHT*, selling is another story.

I paid him for a level 70 UD mage and after paying he gave me the wrong information. None of the info works, and the phone number was fake. Really upset now and I hope he makes things right ASAP. Contact me on AIM if you'd like the details.

He never signed off so maybe he left the computer thinking everything was right.. I'd wait it out to see if he'll correct it.

 

[Hellwatts]

He hasn't signed off. But after looking through his past posts back in 07 someone bought an account from him and he re-called it next day. This guy is NOT legit when *selling*. I certainly hope he contacts me to make things right because I'm gonna follow this guy around on all of his posts.

 

[Hellwatts]

Well, here's an update he finally came back and claims "I changed the information as soon as he left". The information he provided me was never correct and I tried telling him that less than a MINUTE from when he said he was leaving. I urge you to stay away from this seller. I was being polite over aim and tried to come to an agreement with him over this and he's just throwing the "I don't know what happen, you must have changed the info at me". The information he provided me never worked to begin with.

Newyorke99 (7:09:19 PM): ok
Newyorke99 (7:09:23 PM): sorry i missed your message?
lll Ecks lll (7:09:42 PM): I don't know how, I've been sending you messages from the minute we stopped talking.
Newyorke99 (7:09:56 PM): hmm?
Newyorke99 (7:10:13 PM): you dont know how, but you have been sending mesages to me?
Newyorke99 (7:10:27 PM): i dont get what your trying to say
lll Ecks lll (7:10:36 PM): I assumed you either AFK, or you were avoiding me.
lll Ecks lll (7:10:39 PM): Is what I'm saying.
Newyorke99 (7:10:48 PM): i told you i was leaving
Newyorke99 (7:10:51 PM): when i said that
lll Ecks lll (7:10:53 PM): Yes I know.
Newyorke99 (7:10:56 PM): i left my house to go down to the beach
Newyorke99 (7:11:16 PM): what more do you want to know?
lll Ecks lll (7:11:30 PM): I know you told me you were leaving, but within less than a minute of you telling me, I responded and asked you to wait because the information you provided me didn't work
lll Ecks lll (7:11:33 PM): Nor did the phone number.
lll Ecks lll (7:12:08 PM): Nothing, I opened a paypal dispute because none of the information works.
lll Ecks lll (7:12:10 PM): I also posted this on MD.
Newyorke99 (7:12:20 PM): yes i see that
lll Ecks lll (7:12:43 PM): I'm willing to edit my posts and close the paypal claim if you issue me a refund.
Newyorke99 (7:13:03 PM): im sorry
Newyorke99 (7:13:10 PM): i can no longer access the account
Newyorke99 (7:13:27 PM): which means i must assume you changed the information because you were the last person with the info.
lll Ecks lll (7:13:41 PM): Uh, that's not my problem, you attempted to sell me an account that couldn't even be accessed in the first place.
lll Ecks lll (7:13:55 PM): I haven't changed anything, i couldn't have.
lll Ecks lll (7:14:03 PM): I can't even log into the account.
Newyorke99 (7:14:15 PM): You must have because i can no longer log in on worldofwarcraft.com
lll Ecks lll (7:15:24 PM): Now, I will ask you one more time for a refund, if you refuse then I will continue posting on MD, escalate my claim on paypal, and I will call blizzard and have the account name closed, even though I never had access to it, I will tell blizzard it's been posted on a forum board for sale.
lll Ecks lll (7:16:12 PM): I assumed you were a legit guy to deal with given your feedback, but after I looked into it more, all your feedback was from *buying* things, not *selling*
lll Ecks lll (7:16:38 PM): Also researching your name, I found someone in 07 who said you stole an account back from them the day after they paid you for it.
Newyorke99 (7:16:43 PM): if you going to try to threaten me you can just ask me to block you now. I proveded all the information in which you purchased. You are now claiming its incorrect after it has now changed. Sorry but your trying to scam me
lll Ecks lll (7:17:08 PM): I didn't change any information, you would have gotten an email from blizzard saying I did so.

Just within the last few mins:

lll Ecks lll (7:24:14 PM): I hope you value you feedback more than $100
lll Ecks lll (7:24:20 PM): I really hope you think twice about this.
Newyorke99 (7:26:34 PM): Im pretty sure my feedback overpowers one scammer
lll Ecks lll (7:31:08 PM): You just made a big mistake over $100 dollars.
lll Ecks lll (7:31:21 PM): And basically ruined your MD feedback.
Newyorke99 (7:31:29 PM): Have fun, post away
Newyorke99 (7:31:35 PM): I will just have them deleted tomorow
Newyorke99 (7:31:45 PM): just like every other person that tries to scam me and ruin my feedback.
lll Ecks lll (7:32:08 PM): Right, like the other people accounts you've recalled?
Newyorke99 (7:32:28 PM): i recall accounts?
Newyorke99 (7:32:32 PM): sense when? please educate me
lll Ecks lll (7:32:45 PM): Check your post from one of the accounts back in 07.
lll Ecks lll (7:33:01 PM): A guy you sold an account too posted you re-called it next day.
Newyorke99 (7:33:09 PM): can you send me the link? dont feel like trolling all of my posts
lll Ecks lll (7:33:16 PM): That's weak bro, and providing me with bunk information is weak too.
Newyorke99 (7:34:28 PM): What do you want me to do? You changed the info and now your trying to post and scare me into giving your money back. Sorry bro
lll Ecks lll (7:35:07 PM): Dude, I didn't change ANY information, the information you gave me NEVER worked, you wouldn't gotten an email saying I changed the password, then an email asking for email confirmation.
Newyorke99 (7:35:53 PM): the PW is changed
Newyorke99 (7:36:07 PM): the information is in your hands. the account is no longer my account.
lll Ecks lll (7:36:20 PM): You would have gotten an email saying so, the information NEVER worked, I tried telling you this 30 seconds after you gave me the info.

Newyorker is a scammer by the looks of it.

He NEVER confirmed any email change at any point in those logs, so his argument holds as much water as a sieve. He doesn't even use the scenario of email change in any of his defense either, just completely avoids it. SQA/email will get the pass changed, why doesn't he just use that then reset everything? then give you the new details, avoiding this whole scenario and clearing it up without receiving a neg and a ban.

Answer? Because he's attempting to scam and is playing you for a fool.
