So I got scammed big time by www.puagold.com ... He was one clever *******. Tested him out with 2700 gold on another realm, he made the transaction. But when I traded him on my main char, I asked him to go in steps, he said no, all-in trade only. That seemed fishy, I should've just stopped there. Then he just goes over his own words over and over again, typical for a scammer. See for yourself
His email/msn id is: [email protected] I also checked on the website and it's the same e-mail.
Also, to prove I'm telling the truth, here are some screenshots, one of the Chat screen and one ingame puagold.com scam proof.rar (it's mediafire link, I just copied from my tweet, which shortened the link)

)) Seems only option for him was to shut down the site since people wouldn't really buy from him with a big scam alert under his website... at least he lost $10 on the domain
