What was scammed?: My WoW Account with an 80 Hunter

Approximate value of scammed property: $300 USD
Was a middleman used?: No
If yes, who?:
Describe how you were scammed: I was going to trade my Hunter for his Xbox360. We talked for a while and I had him take pictures of the Xbox and games and such. I then gave him the account info and he went to the UPS store and purchased one of their boxes, and took a picture of the UPS box with the Xbox and games in it to prove that he had it ready to ship. I then gave him my shipping address and all of the WoW Account information. He told me that the Xbox was shipped Tuesday and that it was 2-day air delivery, so it should have arrived Thursday, or maybe Friday (today) at the latest. The Xbox has never arrived and wowmage4u has not been online at all.
