Amount scammed:1.8B (IRONMAN)
Discord ID + Unique Discord ID:

Proof that it's their Discord:

Explanation of the trade: I have hired Gabomanrdy and have used his services since the creation of my ironman. He was the only person that has ever had access to the account besides me, I have paid him over $1000 in services for my ironman. I Decided to take a break from osrs and upon returning i found out my ironman had been been wiped for over 1.8b in key items that are not easily obtained.

How they scammed: Gabomanrdy knew i wasnt active on OSRS & decided to take advantage of my account.. Wiping it clean and turning it into a corrupt gauntlet bot which i received a OSRS offense for. When i confronted him he denied everything and instead boasted about how he has access to other irons with more gp than my iron and sent me screenshots of the banks which i do not wish to post (BUT CAN PM Mods that handle this) because they contain Usernames of other irons. He also stated that i was crazy or on drugs.

Other relevant trade screenshots:

@ShawnIsThaBeast @gaboman

Please answer the following questions:
- When did this service take place?
- Was there any TOS agreed to? If so please post the TOS & the agreement of such
- Did you change your password after the service was conducted?

 

The service commenced on the 2nd of October 2023. The service was concluded on the 21st of November 2023.
There were no clear terms and conditions agreed to as this service was done via DM as there had been consistent purchasing by the customer at that time.
However, our Discord does require everyone to accept terms of service before being able to enter our server.
Typically after each service, the customer would change their password and reapply their authenticator.

 

Will write response shortly.

 

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to make your report. At Gabo's Services we pride ourselves on being able to give our customers fast and cost effective services that are done by hand only.

Firstly to address the screenshots of wealth displayed by some acounts. The account owners have given us permission to display their wealth and usernames. The account owners are long time customers who have built up an unfathomable amount of rapport with us and trust us greatly. They even go as far as encouraging people to get in Discord voice channels so they show off their accounts that we have built for them. We by no means ever send customers account information, whether that be login details, bank values, usernames or any other information to anyone without prior permission being given.

As for your report, I am very sorry you've lost the items from your account, that's very unfortunate. The only fault from me, was being so trusting of you. You claim to have had your account stolen and turned into a corrupted gauntlet bot, with all of it's wealth being stolen.

However, I don't see anything relating to your accounts bank value in this report? I don't see where the valuation of 1.8b comes from. I don't see any proof of black mark and you haven't included any information about the service, except for the screenshot of money you sent to a bitcoin wallet.

You have taken more than 7 months to create a report on Sythe after repeatedly ghosting me since you first accussed me in December of 2023. I don't see why you would take so long to make a report, if it were true.

- When did this service take place? The services first started in the beginning of 2021 and concluded in November 2023. Gabo was the only only one who had constant access to my accounts during this time period.
- Was there any TOS agreed to? If so please post the TOS & the agreement of such. NO TOS was agreed to i consistently ONLY used gabo's service for two years
- Did you change your password after the service was conducted? The password was changed but once again gabo was the only person that had access to my PIN on OSRS

Every time i have contacted you, i was called crazy and "to take my head and remember well" Looking back at our discord messages i also found a time where items were missing and you told me that i must have misplaced the items or died with them. The valuation of 1.8b comes all the items that were stolen from my account. I am uploading the offence that the runescape team did and i will also upload a couple more pictures.

The reason why it took me 7 months to create a report was because i was going through IRL Issues that caused me to step away from OSRS in general and discord.. Which in fact you indeed knew about. I know i probably wont get my items back but im not gonna let you do the same thing to somebody else

 

Realistically there's no way to prove that this worker/provider is responsible for hacking your account nearly a year later and turning it into a CG bot. I'm sorry that's not the answer you were likely looking for but there could be a wide variety of scenarios that could've occurred here. Staff cannot hold @Gabos Services responsible for what you are indicating.

However, there are concerns here that other workers RSNs + banks have been provided to other clients that have been provided here. @Gabos Services you are indicating these clients gave you strict permission to provide these to OP - please provide proof to support this. Please ensure to utilize the post report feature or provide this directly to me on discord to ensure no private information/RSNs/etc. are leaked.

There is no way he can prove all the owners Gave permission especially if he is editing out lots of pictures.. in the original discord thread after you posted your response..

I have uploaded everything you have asked for now and even edited out the parts

 

@ShawnIsThaBeast Please provide a GIF of you obtaining his UID in the following photos:

 

I don’t see how either are relevant to this case

@Gabos Services Please provide some insight/information (with screenshots) to support you antiscamming an individual. I've requested this via discord DM's as well but will post it publicly as well for the request.

So what does this have to do with this current case? You've already stated it's been decided in my favour. Can this be closed and we can take this current topic elsewhere?

Additional concerns were present in images provided with this case so it will be handled here. Please provide what’s been requested.

 

Sure, I'll give context and supply you with as much evidence as possible... You must understand, this was a very long time ago lol

 

Gabo sold Koda an account he was not the OO of. He purchased the account from someone he considered to be a friend and then Gabo sold it to Koda. At a later date, Koda messaged Gabo informing him the account has been recovered and he was no longer able to access it. Gabo thought Koda was trying to take him for a fool and get Gabo to give him gold or money in place of the account plus GP that was "stolen"

At this point in time, Gabo thought Koda was scamming and not being truthful with this claim, until Gabo sent a recovery request of his own and was able to get the account back, but the wealth had been sold on it. He became suspicious of not only Koda, but also his friend, which lead to Gabo reaching out to the friend he purchased the account from. After some back and forth, the friend blocked Gabo on all forms of communication. (Since then Gabo can no longer find the messages with the friend)

Gabo then came to the realisation that he was completely wrong about this situation and was very apologetic towards Koda, who he then issued a full refund of the accounts value plus the lost wealth that was on the account.

 

Just a note to add, Koda to this day, purchases services off of Gabo.
Shawn has taken something completely out of context, taking advantage of Gabo's kindness, slandering Gabo and his business. False reporting, then sending anything to try and bring us down, just as petty revenge for something that is no fault of ours.

 

Thank you for providing the above.

In summary there were three concerns surrounding this report:
A) OP's concern indicating you are responsible for items removed from his account/account being hacked post-job completion/password change.
B) Providing RSNs of other accounts/individuals you have access to / are working on
C) Messages surrounding a scam/anti-scam

The response/resolution as follows:
A) As previously advised, there's nothing present to indicate that @Gabos Services is the one behind an account after services were performed and after you changed your password. There could be a wide variety of reasons as to why your account was compromised and it wouldn't make much sense for a service provider to complete this job to then scam, nor has there been any additional reports surrounding Gabo & this.

B) In the photos here (which I have the unedited versions) you are ultimately providing screenshots of other users accounts (minus one as you now indicated that you own one of them) to indicate that you are trusted/to further support it was not you who accessed his account that OP is accusing you of. Per your quote below you indicated they've provided you confirmation that they allow you to share these RSNs/bank images/etc..

Firstly to address the screenshots of wealth displayed by some acounts. The account owners have given us permission to display their wealth and usernames. The account owners are long time customers who have built up an unfathomable amount of rapport with us and trust us greatly. They even go as far as encouraging people to get in Discord voice channels so they show off their accounts that we have built for them. We by no means ever send customers account information, whether that be login details, bank values, usernames or any other information to anyone without prior permission being given.

When asked for documentation to support that you've been given permission ultimately nothing was provided to support this was given prior. You provided conversation after the RSNs were provided to OP & after your post/quote above. You then also advised that one of the four accounts are actually yours. A Trade With Caution (TWC) has been given due to providing customers account RSNs to individuals outside of their specific job/task. Please do not do this again as further punishments may be given. You can request a removal of the TWC here after 30 days have past.

C) Surrounding the anti-scam it does appear documentation was provided to support this was an actual anti-scam versus a scam. The chats from 2022 also support this as an anti-scam versus bad intentions/scamming. No punishment/actions will be taken due to this point.

TLDR; TWC given due to sharing customers information (poor trading practice) without documentation to support permission granted. This is ultimately unnecessarily risking accounts.

Best of luck to you both.
