Hi guys. This is Jano's new MD name btw.

<span style="font-weight: bold">I did not do a transaction with this guy i'm posting about.</span>

I'm posting my insight and just want to post a general warning against this user. I don't have time to argue after the initial post, and let's just let this post serve as a warning. If anyone else has facts to chip in, then great, if not NP. I don't need this other guy banned or anything, unless mods think its necessary.

Posting about Brettster

I suspect he uses this modus of operation: Sells items extremely cheap, and asks for a modest advance payments. For example, selling a chicken mount that is actually worth $350, for only $150, but only asking for $30 in advance. What MIGHT happen is, I send $30 and he dissapears. Of course a buyer will not go thru all the trouble of worrying if a guy is legit or not for $30. Small play really.

Evidence 1: a person paid him 15% of $200 for chicken mount, then claimed that he logged out and dissapeared

Evidence 2: a person seemed to have gotten scammed by him here:

also..
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I've bought the Ogre Pinata card off this guy. He was calm, made me pay half first, so I was skepical.. But, he was legit..</div></div>
Rep post from someone with 4 posts claiming he paid in advance and got the item safely.


<span style="font-weight: bold">
All of the above is just speculation, but here is where it gets interesting. You can see everthing in the chat log down there. I confronted him about the incident where someone claimed he paid Brettster and he ran off... Brettster said that he gave the mount code, then the buyer used the code and then recalled a payment against brettster. We don't know who is saying the truth, but here is what is ludicrous, Brettster claimed that he REVERSED the code by reporting blizzard GM that his friend stole the code. He then claimed that the GMs removed the mount, and the code is usable again. Furthermore, he claimed the code is still exactly the same numbers as before, just that the "Thief" hasn't re-used the code. Why take a code from a "thief" and still have it have the same number? Well bottom line is I'm very sure a GM would not be able to do that. He added it up by claiming that he is sure the code isn't used because 2 hours prior to our chat, he ticketted a GM and said "Hi, is this 910382109xxx code used yet?", something GMs can certainly not assist either.</span>

I just think this is extremely fishy. Neither of his claims regarding the GMs are likely to be true.

Anyway once again, I'm just posting this is a warning. Hopefully he is legit and no one gets scammed.

MDBrettster
2:34

where?
34:51
oh, that guy..
34:58
ffs he took back the funds
35:11
like i gave the code, then he took back the funds.. that was a pain in the [censored] to get the code back
35:16
he reversed it
MMO-Armory
2:36

oh so he gave funds
36:54
you gave code
36:59
he redeem it in game yet before you took it back?
MDBrettster
2:37

37:20
they restored the code for me, i had told them my friend had stolen it
37:25
and they took it away from him
MMO-Armory
2:37

who did you contact to do that?
37:45
UDE or B?
MDBrettster
2:37

Blizzard GMs
MMO-Armory
2:38

I tried doing that
38:01
its not possible
38:04
are you sure its blizzard gms?
MDBrettster
2:38

actually, they restored it
MMO-Armory
2:38

what do you mean by restored it?
MDBrettster
2:38

they said, your code is restored and has been reimbursed
38:43
and he hasnt entered it back in sense
38:46
although it IS the same code
MMO-Armory
2:39

whats the point of restoring a stoeln card if the person who stole it still has the code
MDBrettster
2:39

he hasnt entered it back in tho
39:44
so its still a safe use card
MMO-Armory
2:40

actually
40:38
what about the server related issue on cards
40:45
how did you know which server he placed it on?
MDBrettster
2:40

they investigated that code
MMO-Armory
2:40

and what about the cards locking to the server
MDBrettster
2:41

i said my code is : [codehere]
41:22
and they said, okay your code can be used again
MMO-Armory
2:41

and you tell me the code is not used yet
41:34
how do you know?
MDBrettster
2:41

yes, it isnt
41:40
because, i asked 2 hours ago
41:51
ingame.. im like i wanna enter this soon can you check its eligibility
MMO-Armory
2:41

2 hours ago all servers were down
MDBrettster
2:42

not EU
MMO-Armory
2:42

GMs cant check card eligibility
42:23
I know that for a fact
MDBrettster
2:42

they said it should sitll work >_<
MMO-Armory
2:42

I ahve done that before to see ifa spectral tiger code i got worked or not.  Before the last patch, testing a code will result in locking it to a specific server
MDBrettster
2:42

if it dont work ill refund our money how about that..
MMO-Armory
2:42

and GMs clearly said they are unable to assust that
43:05
and how about if i pay and i dont get a refund
43:15
how about if you trust my rep and give the code first
MDBrettster
2:43

MMO-Armory
2:43
