Was I scammed?

[wazzupryan]

Honestly, I'm not sure on this one. It looks like I've been had, but I'm not 100% sure. Some background:

Purchased a SC2 account - http://vbforums.mmobay.net/starcraf...ed-5-placement-matches-name-change-avail.html

Trade went great, nice guy, gave me all the information for the account including recovery q/a. He said he did NOT have the original CDKey, which was a little weird to me but I overlooked it because of the price. (low cost, low loss) Changed all the information that I could, used the account just fine. Then, two days later, I check my e-mail and I have this:

Salutations! This is xxxxx from the Billing and Account Services department here at Blizzard Entertainment.

"We have received the Starcraft II/ World of Warcraft authentication Key registered to the account WAZZUPRYAN@xxxx; as part of a request to transfer ownership of the game.

As stated in our End User License Agreement, you may permanently transfer ownership of the game and all of its parts, and by doing so forfeit ownership of this account. By transferring ownership you also agree to remove the game client and materials from your home or personal computer.

This email is to confirm you permanently forfeit your ownership and all rights to use this account, and have transferred all the parts of this game (CD-ROM's, game manual and all original packaging) to a new owner. If you agree to this transfer the game will be permanently closed.

This account has been locked pending review of this transfer. Please reply to this email with either accept or decline in header on the subject line. If we do not hear from you within 7 days we will be permanently disabling this account.

Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you,

The Starcraft part of the account is now locked. It is still on the same battle.net account, and nothing on the battle.net account has changed, apart from the Starcraft account being locked. I have checked the IP the email was sent from and it is definitely a genuine blizzard e-mail. (I get a lot of Blizzard phishing e-mails). The part that seems like he is trying to bone me is how he claimed to not have the CDKey but blizzard claims that they have recieved the CDKeys and are asking if I am giving up ownership of the account? Da ****?

Thanks to anyone that reads,
Ryan

TL;DR - Bought account, email from blizzard, account locked, but still have access to account.

Have you even tried contacting the seller?

I haven't seen him on AIM since the deal, and I'm waiting for a reply to my private message. I could have already recalled the money on PayPal, but this isn't exactly black and white so I'm waiting to see how it turns out. The only part that is iffy to me is how he said that he did not have original CD-Keys and Blizzard says they have received them.

Seller just logged into AIM and we're working it out now. This can be safely ignored.

Let us know how it turns out.
