Scammed from western union

basically i bought a rs account last week over western union... the guy gave me the account and he told me to send him $300 through w/u and a week later the account is recovered back.. is there anything i can do to prove he scammed me to the police? i got his info and the emails he sent before buying the account

 

No, you can't sorry.

 

what if the info i got is real? i got address/phone number/real name

 

Police do not have jurisdiction over this kind of thing. Also, if you look at runescape's terms of service, you'll notice that all rs accounts are property of jagex, not of their creators. So really there was no theft at all, unfortunate as your situation is

 

Try recovering it with the info that you have.

 

You could try to contact him or someone he knows with that information

 

Report him. /thread

 

Report him to who?

and so is this guy aloud to keep doing this? hes selling/recovering his rs account while most likely making alot of money irl.. this can't be legal

 

Well it's not really allowed to sell accounts either, you have no case.

 

Honestly, I feel really bad for you. I'm not sure the in/outs of Western Union so I don't really know what to tell you. You are prohibited from the transferring of RuneScape accounts anyway, so you coudln't go to Jagex. The cops dont have the authority in this situation, and He got his account back and 300$. You're pretty SOL.

 

It was legal, just against Jagex Terms of Services.

Inform the police.

 

informing the police wont do anything. He himself violated the terms of service, so is admitting to doing just as much wrong as the guy who took his money.

In effect, when buying an account, youre paying to break the jagex terms of service. And the other guy is just as guilty as you, the perfect crime

 

Police will not do him anything for violating Jagex TOS.

If you steal, you commit a crime, so you need to be punished.

 

Pay with PayPal next time so you can charge back if the account was recovered. As for the seller, he shouldn't have any problem with accepting PayPal, cause if you charge back he can still recover his account so you're both good.

 

not after 45 days......

 

k guys thanks for the help

just gonna forget about it and take the lesson learned.

 

Firstly try to contact him and say you will contact the police.

After that you can try to contact the police, maybe the police will contact him and you will make an agreement.

 

i tried but everytime i asked for him he hangs up and doesn't pickup till a few hours later

 

yea you took a big loss.. next time use omm + recovs test bro.
