Yadkef attempted scam.

Screenshots to follow.

We were going to trade the account listed here Link, and he insisted I go first, stating the amount of times he'd been scammed and how he was a Christian etc etc.

I asked to see his Paypal and he provided this image Link - Note how there are NO Canadian dollars listed? It should contain the converted amount.
- Also note how there are NO recent trades listed despite him stating he had just bought a level 111.

After which I naturally became suspicious.

So, after a bit of pushing and pulling I got him to post another more recent screenshot of his paypal. He claimed the delay in time between my asking and his posting was due to him "forgetting his paypal password" and being locked out. I conclude it was the time it took him to attempt to doctor the amount.

Here are all the screenshots I took after I accused him and he bailed.








Here are the MSN chatlogs (I can upload the file if you like)

30/01/2008  16:25:02  Yadkef  Ruben  How we do this trade then? 
30/01/2008  16:25:21  Ruben  Yadkef  Depending on your offer either you go first or half and half 
30/01/2008  16:25:26  Yadkef  Ruben  100$ 
30/01/2008  16:25:30  Ruben  Yadkef  Being that it's my first and last trade I'd rather not have hitches 
30/01/2008  16:25:39  Ruben  Yadkef  Half and half seems more appropriate 
30/01/2008  16:25:58  Ruben  Yadkef  Brb 2 secs gotta shit 
30/01/2008  16:25:58  Yadkef  Ruben  Yea, but i cant do much with a username! 
30/01/2008  16:26:05  Yadkef  Ruben  k 
30/01/2008  16:27:49  Ruben  Yadkef  Back 
30/01/2008  16:28:09  Ruben  Yadkef  Right, by that I meant you send the first $50, I give you the username and password, then you send the remaining $50 
30/01/2008  16:28:33  Ruben  Yadkef  Are there any other screenshots you'd like to see of the account? 
30/01/2008  16:28:49  Yadkef  Ruben  Nah 
30/01/2008  16:29:08  Ruben  Yadkef  Alright, so you happy with that way or.. 
30/01/2008  16:29:08  Yadkef  Ruben  Yea, but you could run off with the 50$, and that wouldn't be good for me :( 
30/01/2008  16:29:15  Ruben  Yadkef  And you could run off with the account 
30/01/2008  16:29:18  Ruben  Yadkef  That wouldn't be good for me 
30/01/2008  16:29:57  Ruben  Yadkef  This has been my weekend project since 2003 so it would be extremely saddening to lost it 
30/01/2008  16:29:59  Ruben  Yadkef  lose it* 
30/01/2008  16:30:08  Ruben  Yadkef  For nothing 
30/01/2008  16:30:23  Yadkef  Ruben  Same would be for my money  
30/01/2008  16:30:30  Ruben  Yadkef  Indeed 
30/01/2008  16:30:34  Ruben  Yadkef  So.. 
30/01/2008  16:30:41  Ruben  Yadkef  This leaves at somewhat of a stalemate

30/01/2008  16:31:08  Yadkef  Ruben  But i actually wouldn't want to scam tbh :D I cant lie I'm a catholic christian.

30/01/2008  16:31:39  Ruben  Yadkef  I'm sure your as aware as I am 
30/01/2008  16:31:56  Ruben  Yadkef  That what we say on the internet has pretty much no bearing on what could be going on in reality 
30/01/2008  16:32:00  Ruben  Yadkef  Due to anonymityt 
30/01/2008  16:32:07  Yadkef  Ruben  I've been scammed more than i've done safe trades lmao 
30/01/2008  16:32:17  Ruben  Yadkef  Which is sad to hear. 
30/01/2008  16:32:26  Yadkef  Ruben  Technically i would'nt be able to lie. 
30/01/2008  16:32:38  Ruben  Yadkef  As I said before, I don't know that. 
30/01/2008  16:33:18  Yadkef  Ruben  This is the account the dude went first with, : Meepokboy . Made in 2001 , can play rs classic, all quests done. 
30/01/2008  16:33:29  Ruben  Yadkef  Perhaps we should try and find a MM of sorts? 
30/01/2008  16:33:39  Yadkef  Ruben  He trusted me, so i gave extra 
30/01/2008  16:33:39  Yadkef  Ruben  No official MM's left. 
30/01/2008  16:33:57  Ruben  Yadkef  Then here we are again. 
30/01/2008  16:34:17  Yadkef  Ruben  And sythe MM'S are scammers, R U N E K 0 PLOX Is banned because he scammed and he had 1k Posts+ 
30/01/2008  16:34:30  Ruben  Yadkef  Can you screenshot your paypal account, obviously blurring out important info 
30/01/2008  16:34:40  Yadkef  Ruben  Not to mention 75 vouches

30/01/2008  16:35:56  Yadkef  Ruben  .bmp and other files are fine though. .exe is probably a virus or keylogger. 
30/01/2008  16:35:56      You have failed to receive file "$300 paypal.bmp" from Yadkef. 
30/01/2008  16:36:12  Yadkef  Ruben  Upload?
