So yeah, all I did today was bump my selling thread and sure enough, few minutes later I get a message on aim from "mmobuying" saying he's from the company http://www.buymmoaccounts.com.

We talked for a bit and he seemed very professional. I even got an e-mail from [email protected] with a really nice quote. So originally I thought he was a real employee of buymmoaccounts.

So I go ahead and go through with the transaction and it's been a few hours with no payment yet. I end up e-mailing buymmoaccounts about it and got response 30 minutes later. Apparently, some guy has been spoofing e-mails and pretending to be from them when he's not. Scamming a lot of people. They posted it earlier today on their blog and it was pretty shocking.

I will have to go ahead and recall my account tomorrow but to everyone selling their account. Beware of people like this. Buymmoaccounts.com does not do transactions through aim.

I only got to record half of it since at the beginning, I was in class using e-buddy so it didn't allow any message storage.

Here is the entire conversation: (Without account info ofcourse)

mmobuying (4:27:46 PM):Hello, are you available?
