For those who use Powerbot - "Dont!" - READ MORE!

THIS IS NOT A SLANDER OF POWERBOT - THIS IS TO KEEP OUR SYTHE MEMBERS SAFE!

EDIT AS OF APRIL 2011!

Alright - just tried logging on to my OLD OLD OLD account over there on powerbot - seems they banned it for no reason too...

Look at the last activity + post count.

As a member of both communities I feel I need to let potential victims of these fraudsters know about their ill-doing. I do not wish anyone else to fall victim to them, so consider this a warning.


I have been scammed by an ADMINISTRATOR of powerbot, the following is the PM I sent to all officials on that forum. I also posted it on their DISPUTE section. At the bottom of the page are some images which now shows the current status of my account (perm banned) - theyre trying to cover his ass by banning me and removing all my posts which have proved him to be a scammer/hacker. Enjoy.

Hey I wanted to send this here aswell as posting it because im more than likely going to be banned by Homer for posting this thread in the dispute section as it proof to him scamming. Please send this on to a founder/admin if possible.

Scammer:
Homer

Email:
Home...@Hotmail.com

Proof of MSN:

Trade Type:
Paypal for Account

Scam Method:
Account Recovered

Additional Essential Information:

Homer recovered my account and is reselling on this thread:
http://www.powerbot.org/vb/showthread.php?t=681466
I bought an account called "PrayYourAss" off an ex-member who
bought this account from admin "Homer". The ex-member passed me all the
evidence that he received from Homer when buying this account as homer
said that he couldnt remove the email. Being a moderator he trusted him.

Anyway I haven't played the account for a week or so, came to try logging
in today and it had been taken. Came on here and the first thing
that I saw was homers thread (URL: HERE) which is him selling my account.

Below is all the proof needed to finally bring some justice to this case.

Scam Proof (Images/Videos):

* The login name is On Pray On

* The display name is PrayYourAss

* He sold it to a member of Powerbot who since then sold to me.

* He has recovered it and is now trying to re-sell.


Homers MSN + him PMing me ingame.

Payment

First Login - his IP I presume. Notice the "EMAIL PENIDNG"
- he said he couldnt remove this.

The full stats + wealth - 10th Feb.

Now - they decided that instead of dealing with this in a mature manner (id have gladly accepted a refund for my money) - they'd do this:

So to all those who use powerbot, even the admins are untruthful.

DONT USE THAT WEBSITE IF YOU WISH TO KEEP YOUR MONEY.

EDIT:: 28th March 2011
More proof:

I had posted this 3 times before so people could see, they deleted each, Now this.

 

[HealthyHabits]

That was kinda sad..

 

[Coinshare]

Powerbot has the worst and most corrupt community ever.
I'm glad I've never touched their bots or their community.
Thanks for the warn.

 

[Jimmy]

RSBot/PowerBot is well known for its extremely corrupt staff, having gone so far in the past as to give an administration position to Sigex. I'd stay far away from the PowerBot community.

 

[Punkerpunk13]

That's just pathetic..

 

[Beav3r]

Wow, I'll talk with a PB mod friend when he gets on about this.

 

[malakadang]

Yea, I agree powerbot is corrupt, which is why I stay on Sythe. Much better community.

 

[Frewin]

Thanks for the responses. Hopefully if enough people read this it may cause a serious amount of people to atleast think about no using their forum.

 

[Snow Patrol]

sad, I hate doing business on Powerbot ever since FT came out the community has turned to crap

 

[Yo Done Son]

Dang thats sad. They should of dealt with the trade first

 

[stuffs]

Powerbot has, hands down, the WORST community I have EVER seen.

 

[n4n0]

I use the bots, but I'll never do business on their site. Reason proved just now.

 

[Yo Done Son]

The bot isn't safe either. Its Plaintexted? anyways it records all passwords that are saved in it.

 

[n4n0]

I don't save my passwords in it. I log in manually every time.

 

[Themaulpure]

I don't even trust their bots. Sucks mate, sorry.

 

[Simple Merchant]

i have completely steered clear of that bot/site since the hackings went down ... why would people still use it knowing there is like a 80% chance of their accs being stolen.

 

[Bubba Fuzz]

Their staff have been corrupt for a long time now. I remember a staff member OMM'd a trade for me and then a few days later tried to get me to buy his powerbot account because he wasn't interested and just wanted some money. I have heard lots of stories like this and because of it I don't trust any one over there.

 

[theezakje]

The PowerBot staff was pretty good like 1,5 year ago. I was part of the staff there and the old admins were great. Though they did give some admin-friends an admin rank.... People with 1 or 2 posts were admin and had no idea how a forum even works!

They banned me for "spamming" - Lol, sure thing - and they were actually going down and down.. Sad to hear they're fallen so deep now.

Isn't powerbot the company that got hacked and over 9000 accounts got cleaned? someone put virus in the codes or something I heard.

Yep, my skiller being one of them

However, even though their community is EXTREMELY corrupt in terms of trading, their user created scripts are very good. I've never been banned using them.
