Traded his Priest for my Warrior, only for him to steal both accounts overnight.

I have the address and phone number that he called from, his SQA, etc etc.

I'm reporting my account as compromised to get it back, but I will eventually be taking the steps to have his and subsequently mine locked out for breaching the ToS. The only reason why I would have mine locked out is due to the fact I don't think there is any other way to prove a breach on his end has occurred other than providing self-incriminating evidence.

My problem with this scam is he stole 15 dollars from me to obtain another months worth of play and possibly destroyed my other account. <span style="font-weight: bold">Does anyone have any knowledge of being able to take legal recourse against the theft of the money rather than the account?</span>

Re: Scammer | MD: Gngstr || AIM: BnW Contra

BnW Contra (3:28:25 PM): lol dude i didnt scam you - i thought i was bein scammed i couldnt log into forbidden333 - i was waiting for you to become non-idle so i could give you your acc info back
BnW Contra (3:28:29 PM): but w.e

I'm glad he's willing to give me my account information back despite not being able to use it to log into my account. I guess I would find that useful, having faulty information and an account I can't log into.

He should have my number, but apparently not, so I'm going out of my way to get a hold of him but until then I want everyone that reads this to avoid trading with him at all costs. I've been kind enough to provide name, phone and address to make scamming on his end harder, should he provide me with everything in full and same condition it was before he received it, I'll remove it.
