    Idea to prevent scammers!!

    I had this idea that you could make sythe more like an online store for the things people want to sell like runescape accounts wow accounts.. stuff like that. Because i was scammed recently. I bought a level 121 runescape account and he took it back a day later and i lost a lot of money. I know that you can already use a middle man but that wouldnt have helped me. Because he took back the account with recovery questions.. even though i already set new recovery questions. I know that he told jagex his personal information about his account to get it back. So how am I supposed to be able to by anything without having to worry about someone just taking there account back? Btw the guy that stole my account.. I know his full name email and where he lives.. I might just go to his house. Because i found that out through his email.
    So if you have any ideas to help me get y account back and make sythe safer to buy accounts plz leave replys.

    Making Sythe an online store wouldn't change anything.

    Reason #1 why I never bought RuneScape accounts:
    Any account can be recovered.

    When trading next time, only buy from extremely trusted people.

    acctualy a mm would have helped since a mm would recover the account first to get rid of email and recovery and such and then you can just reset stuff and the recoveries would be active immediatly rather than waiting for a week to reset them.

    Using a MM would prevent scamming. Infact, using common sense would prevent scamming.

    Any account can be recovered. Making a store won't make a difference. Just use a Middleman whenever you buy accounts, gp, etc.

    Idea to prevent scammers!!

    How would an "online store" do anything to prevent recovery?

    And you should have sent a password query against unset/unknown recovery questions to verify that the information he provided about the account would be enough to recover it if stolen. Or, better yet, you could have avoided account sales entirely: most accounts get recovered eventually.

    Idea to prevent scammers!!

    If you are spending High amouts of money. $50+ For me, Then i will make sure its a trusted person that has like 25+ Vocuhes or 50+ Vouches. Or just make it like Rsbot, make it that it takes 30 days to see a thread on the "Market" Section. Wont really prevent scamming but lowers the chance. Another way i think 250+ Posts to Buy/Sell on the fourms, NO SPAMMING though.

    I have sold accounts before. I gave an mm all the right previous info that I used to recover an account a few hours ago. The appeal failed for him, but worked for me. explain how an mm recovering would help if it can still fail.

    I agree, Just use a middle man.
    Tbh, I would never buy an account to much of a risk of someone stealing it back, once I've trained it etc.

    its 2 weeks at rsbot, I like it, but it really stops new people who are legit from engaging with the site.
