Below is our IM conversation:
<span style="font-weight: bold">[email protected]:</span> hey there bud im interested in your SC2 Beta account.
me: hi there

Sent at 6:25 PM on Monday
<span style="font-weight: bold"> [email protected]: </span> sorry i was in the shower
yea the only concern i have is u have a very low rep and low post count
i can send ya a pm and show ya that im well known.
i have done over a dozen trades on MD
I woudl be willing to buy one for 120 or both accounts if you still have 2 for 200. as long as i dont have to go first.
thats a lot of money to throw around to someone such as a new member. no offence
Sent at 6:58 PM on Monday
me: i see
let me check out your rep
send me a pm please
<span style="font-weight: bold"> [email protected]:</span> ok
me: i unserstand bc i am new
[email protected]: il send ya a pm bud
me: and i definately want to build my rep
ok
i would be willing to sell you one, and if it goes well, ill sell you the second
[email protected]: alright bud. just checked i only have 118 in my paypal. but if it all goes well il transfer more
sent ya a pm
me: ok lemme check my friend
<span style="font-weight: bold"> [email protected]:</span> no prob
Sent at 7:09 PM on Monday
me: im a little wary too because you only have 147 posts
but how about this
<span style="font-weight: bold">
[email protected]: </span> alrighty bro its your choice. if u dont feel safe its all good
i wont force you
me: you can send me half, and once i recieve it, i can immediately im you the log in info, and then once you log on and it all checks out, you can send the rest
<span style="font-weight: bold">[email protected]: </span> sorry bud thats a lot of money to throw out to a new user without recieving anything. wish i could but its too sketchy on my part sorry.
me: i understand, how can i be sure you wont take the account and never pay me?
<span style="font-weight: bold"> [email protected]: </span> cant proove anything other then what i already showed ya bro
like i said if u are weiry, its not a problem. i understand its an unsafe world out there.
im not here to force ya into anything you dont feel comfortable to do so
me: hmm
ok, im gonna take a chance, because my instincts tell me i can trust you
will u make sure you leave me good feedback and post something on the forum to help me build my rep?
<span style="font-weight: bold">[email protected]: </span> alright bro. so im assuming 118 is good enough then?

me: heres the log in info

in order for me to pay i need to 1. Verify that starcraft 2 exists on the account
2. verify the secret question
me: ah yes, let me log on and make sure i get that
bc i dont remember the secret question
or, you can just log on and change the password right away
if that makes sense
[email protected]: nah man, makesure u know the secret question answer
me: ok let me get that part handled
