Please help, bought account that is now locked

I recently bought an account from 6 poppin 5 droppin a couple of days ago for 50M OS RSGP on this thread:

http://www.sythe.org/runescape-2007-accounts/1670600-95-combat-b-gloves-f-cape-torso-94-mage.html

He seemed trusted and a member since 07. We used Heads447 as a middleman. All went well. Just about an hour ago, I tried logging in to see the account was locked. When trying to message him on skype from my Galaxy Note 3, the messages are all pending, I messaged another person and the messages went through just fine. Although on the computer when messaging him, there was no indication that the messages did not go through (So it might be glitched but it's worth mentioning as I'm not sure if he blocked me). I tried to recover the account with the information he gave me and it obviously failed as I got an email stating so about a minute later.

So Im asking you guys what the next step is. If somehow he is innocent, he could always recover the account back for me, correct? I doubt that, but not looking to incriminate anyone until I can talk to him. If anyone has any suggestions on what my next step should be I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

 

I would first start off by sending him a Sythe PM and also trying to contact him through a computer via Skype.

 

Thank you Drento, I have done both. To anyone: so it is possible that the account just got locked from the switch of IP right (He lives in Georgia and I live in NYC)? I'm just trying to think of best case scenarios here. Has anyone ever had an experience where this happened?

 

you're gonna have to ask the seller to recover the account and give it back to you

 

Thanks, he just responded saying he will attempt to recover the account when he comes back from work so thats good news.

 

It is possible. When I sold my main it got locked several times afterwards I had to recover it for someone who bought it from me. Original seller is responsible for helping you with gaining access back to account.

 

Thanks for the info Zuzel. I'm taking a lot of screenies, the account now says invalid username or password instead of locked and he said when he comes back from work (which should have been 8 hours ago) he would have talked to me on skype which he did not. So things aren't looking too good if the account is recovered and he didn't contact me.

 

He recovered account then. Feel free to post scam report against him here:
