This was the IP listed in the OSRS welcome screen. It was the last person to log into that account.

I purchased the Runescape account [email protected] for $50BTC on 31 Jan 2017. The trade went well (I went first). Morning of 04 Feb 2017 the account was recovered and Mike595678 messaged me saying someone hacked all of his accounts (sythe, skype, and OSRS usernames/passwords) and was selling them. He also mentons (as depicted in the screenshots below) that all these accounts were hacked when his Microsoft Live was hacked. SO essentially, he claims his Live was hacked on Jan 31 and someone started selling accounts on it.

Then, RIGHT as my purchased account wasn't able to log in (I know exactly when this is as I bot on them and I get a text every time a bot can't log in) I get a skype message from Mike595678 telling me that the imposter has hacked him and is recovering accounts. It seems a bit suspicious that RIGHT as my account is recovered, he tells me that the guy who has been on his Skype and Sythe for the past 5 days has recovered it.

When I accuse him of lying about the scam, his only good proof is that he types differently than the other guy (who seemed *blatantly* British, like it was intentional. That proof holds less credence since he pointed it out himself, which makes it more likely that it was intentional.
