Scammer's profile link: @Cherub (Did not scam. Read report)
Explanation of the trade: Bought an OSRS account from him.
Amount scammed: $100
How they scammed: DID NOTHING WRONG, Cherub sold me an account a while back without TOS and the account has been recovered by the original owner after I had sold the account to @LCEsales. LCE resold the account and that is when it was recovered, I did not give any TOS to LCE and will refund as soon as I get funds, though shouldn't Cherub have to refund me since I did not receive a TOS?

@Cherub was there any ToS agreed to for the sale of this account?

 

No there wasn't. Although what is the ruling on account resales and responsibility?

I feel that Sodah probably just took the easy route and and said he will pay when he can, as he knows i'd be in the same situation and I will simply pay in place of him if I am strong-armed into it.

I was under the assumption that my responsibility would be voided since the account got resold by whom I sold it to.

 

I was under the assumption that my responsibility would be voided since the account got resold by whom I sold it to.

As stated here:

Anyone who wishes to sell an account must maintain "recovery responsibility" (they must refund their buyer if the account is recovered or becomes locked and they are unable to unlock it) for at least a month after the sale. If you are an account seller and you do not specifically mention your recovery responsibility in your Terms of Service, by default you have recovery responsibility forever.

You would need to have had proper terms that stated you'd be voided of responsibility should the account be resold.

As there were no terms of service agreed to for this trade you are liable to refund @Sodah (@LCEsales) for the account.

 

That's fine.
I just feel you should add in a rule about resales because its currently just a domino system where an accounts responsibility will fall back to the first and oldest seller, who will take on all the risk without knowing that the account is being resold over and over again.

I personally have bought and resold multiple accounts from people and never would have thought to default my responsibility to theirs simply because they never explicitly had a resale TOS.

 

I received £70.15 for the account on the 25th of Jan 2020.

My preference would be to simply refund this payment via paypal to @Sodah as otherwise i'd be open to a chargeback risk. But since he has debt this makes it more complicated. @Andy ?

 

@Cherub you are free to refund that payment to @Sodah so that he may send the money to @LCEsales.

Please let me know once this has been done.

 

Done

 

The refund has been send to @Sodah and he was kind enough to reimburse @LCEsales.

Thank you for resolving this.
