Scammer: SUP000 (sythe) or josh.c131 (skype)

Vukodlak · Feb 5, 2015

Hey fellas. Vuk here.

On the 17th of January I bought a Runescape account through playerauctions, from a seller whos skype name is/was josh.c131. I bought the account as soon as I saw it as I thought it was an absolute bargain. I paid roughly $37 aud.

After receiving the account details, I logged on. After a few minutes, I was contacted by another user who claimed that he bought the account through sythe and had paid for the membership that was on it. Josh.c131, or SUP000, assured me that it was just a scammer trying to get the account. Out of curiosity, I goggled "josh.c131" and found a link to SUP000's profile on sythe. I checked out his latest posts, and found this posted on the 1/8/15:

http://www.sythe.org/main-accounts-...in-lvl-132-99-magic-89-dung-comes-07-acc.html

It was last updated on the 1/8, with the message "SOLD THE ACCOUNT".

I got extremely suspicious. But I let go off it. I had access to the account for about 2 weeks until yesterday, the 3rd of Febuary, 2015. (Note: I had all the emails changed, my social networking accounts linked and an authenticator setup. He was still able to recover the account)

I jumped on the sythe, and found this post:

http://www.sythe.org/main-accounts-100-138/1802242-rs3-selling-through-ebay.html

It contained a link to this ebay listing:

Now look at the stats of that account in the screenshot, and look at the stats of the account I was "sold" here:

He has been doing this multiple times and as far I know, he will continue doing this. I have already sent an email similar to this post to playerauctions, hoping I haven't lost my money ($37 is a lot to a part time working underage).

If you check out the eBay listing, you'll see that the account was sold today for $45 usd. Another poor fella scammed.

Moral of the story: If it seems TOO good to be true. It probably isn't.
Thanks for reading this post. Have a good day.
