i was selling an account

it got scammed by chillinz, tho he denys is, still no money tho or anything else in place

ok well i went to recover a few weeks later (when i got time)


heres their reply

NOTE: read from bottom up

Code:

Ahoy,
 
Someone had their credit card used on the account, we had to refund this
payment. That person mentioned someone he/she knew very well was using the
account.
 
Since we had to refund that payment we will need it paid again before it will
be unbanned. The amount refunded was $49.95 USD. Let us know if you'd like to
pay this and we can set that up.
 
Fair winds,
