Report/post/reason that got you banned:
I was banned for IP match with a scammer whose offence was comitted more than 4 years ago, and who was banned then as well. The user is 'Richyrichz' and the original scam report can be found here: http://www.sythe.org/report-scammer-archive/1117909-richyrichz-scammed-me-42mil.html
The scam was supposedly 42M RSGP @ 0.7/M - just under 30 USD.

The report thread can be found here: http://www.sythe.org/report-scammer-archive/1859168-korbin-others.html

The report thread also describes IP matches with four other Sythe accounts, of which none have comitted any offences as far as I can tell. The only other account that could potentially belong to me is 'The Aviator' which was created in 2013. I don't recall ever using it, but I used that same name on a private server, which leads me to believe that I may have created the account.


Proof of contacting victims for repayment or repayment of victims:
Seeing as the scam has a link to my IP I will take full responsibility and I am willing to repay the full amount if possible.

The unfortunate victim is: http://www.sythe.org/members/295678-deathknight9008.html who was last active four years ago. Without a Sythe account I can't see any skype details or any other contact info, and I doubt he will respond on Sythe seeing as he hasn't been active for four years. If any of you staff members can see his skype, can you please reply to this thread and I will attempt to contact him? Also, if there's any other way of repaying the amount to other victims/Sythe, I will happily do so.

Anything you weren't banned for but want to confess to now:
None - I have never had any bad trades on Sythe, and I've never scammed or mislead other Sythe members.


Detailed description of the events that took place and why you think we should forgive you:
I don't know how the scam wen't down as I wasn't involved, but what I can say is that I was in high school four years ago, and I was playing with 4-5 other guys at that point both at eachothers homes, schools and in internet cafés. I don't know which IPs are matching, but that is the only reason I can come up with that explains my IP match with a scammer (as well as the other accounts - most of which I had never heard of before reading the report). If any of my 'friends' at that point used Sythe to take advantage of others, I will happily make up for that now by repaying the victim.

I think I should be forgiven as I take full responsibility for the scam as it is possibly associated with my IP (I actually don't know if the scam was made from one of the IP's that I've accessed from). I am willing to repay the amount if I can get in contact with the victim.

Furthermore, I have traded 7B RS3 and 1,7B+ OSRS GP on Sythe with no bad trades both where I went first, and when others went first to me. I would estimate that I've traded more than $6000 during my time on Sythe and I have accumulated 80+ vouches: http://www.sythe.org/vouches-forum/1202401-korbins-vouches.html

I would never misuse the trust of other Sythe members to scam them, and I believe I have shown that during my time of Sythe where I've slowly increased in vouches and succesful trades.


Did you fully read and follow this sticky thread in the pardon section?:
Yes - I'm aware I haven't spent a month trying to contact the scam victim, but I can't see contact details nor PM the victim without a Sythe account, and I can't create a new one whilst banned.


Thank you for reading my pardon. Although it has caused some trouble for me, I appreciate the thoroughness of the Sythe dispute system.

- Korbin
