Arnold D

Making this report on behalf of @Kiwiboy86

Scammer's profile link: Arnold D
Amount scammed: 30M for service + ~147M in wealth + all untreadables + more
Discord ID + Unique Discord ID: Woody#3244 - 711661647076524062
Proof that it's their Discord: Imgur
Explanation of the trade: Kiwiboy paid Arnold D 30M for him to complete 62-70 Woodcutting, Sins of the Father and Song of Elves. The account then got permanently banned for botting, albeit the ban is now quashed. The account also got completely wiped, including a character appearance reset and the POH was gone too. I'm not overtly familiar with bans, this seems like a Jagex thing but Arnold D should be held reliable regardless.

Also - the account ended up at 72 woodcutting, which makes it even more likely that a bot was used. Not only that, but as you can see on the screenshots below he kept asking for the auth number over and over, meaning he likely was constantly switching clients or experimenting with different scripts. He also claimed to have Runelite pictures, yet was unable to provide them.

How they scammed: by botting, thus getting the account banned. He also did not complete the 2 quests.

Yes, Kiwi paid me to get 62-70wc+ sins &sote quests and those are rl SS of done lvls.
(deleted)
can send them 1by1 if needed.
for the 2fa thingy its a problem lot of people have and there is tons of reddit posts asks why it asks for 2fa every login attempt. I later figured it why (because if u have 2+ clients open and u used the 2fa on second client it wont remember the 2fa, happens with runelite settings it for some reason it doesnt save)
for account banned there is no much talk between me and kiwi, when he told me that the account got banned i got shocked and told him it wasnt me and i can provide the rl SS, however he didn't ask for them so i assumed he knew its from his side. and yeah i have nothing to do with the wc lvls or account ban

edit: kiwi was logging in during the service when im offline to do nmz

 

@Andy can you edit that post it's leaking an RSN

Also those screenshots are only up to level 68. The account ended up at 72 so screenies for 69-72 are missing, you can send them to me or Kiwiboy if you have em (all of them not just these last 3).

I trained wc to lvl 68 and logged out at the same time like everyday, I didn't trained it to lvl 72 its probably him.


Why you're making the report on behalf of him? is it because iam building quick and you're trying to get rid of your competitors early?. Let the owner of the account talk with me here, I already spoke with him on discord and he knew the fault is from his side

edit:screenies on deleted post below

 

I'm doing it myself since he said he didn't know how to report and also didn't have any time. I'm not too sure why would he train Woodcutting himself considering he paid someone to do it; you could use the argument that he botted NMZ since he was logging in to do that, but were that the case the ban wouldn't haven gotten quashed due to the IP matching his own (or at least matching his geographical location). He also manually appealed it, this wasn't part of the accidental ban wave that happened a few days ago.

Like I said you can send all pictures you have to me or to him lol

If you're saying he botted nmz then he probably felt safe doing that and did it to wc, I already sent him the pics. and I leveled the wc more than half manual and i have RL SS, why would i ruin what i have done and bot the last lvls, doesnt make sense at all

 

Like I said, had he botted himself the ban would not have gotten quashed, let alone so quickly. Perhaps 6 months later, but definitely not 1 day later.

I don't know I having nothing to do with the ban, he maybe hired someone to do nmz for him since he's "busy" and banned the account. probably you? if yes then why blaming me? kiwi himself knows I did it manual

 

[Kiwiboy86]

Arnold D is 100% the reason for the macroing perm ban. I have NEVER botted on the account.

Why would I bot wc myself when I have already paid Arnold to do it for me? Seems redundant. Furthermore, the ban got quashed within 24 hours, that would not have been the case if Jagex had detected the botting to be coming from my IP. Plus you can see the ban was issued at the same day Arnold was logged in to do the wc order.

Also nice try trying to blame Ambiguity. He does not, nor has he had access to my account. The only one with access was Arnold D who clearly took advantage and botted it instead of doing the work himself. The reason he made the report on my behalf is I was busy yesterday and he strongly believes scammers like you have no place on Sythe. Moreover, this is the second time Arnold D has been accused of scamming within 24 hours (Arnold D scam). Clearly a trend.

Lastly, 'kiwi himself knows I did it manual', no this could not be further from the truth. Your gaslighting won't work when it's obvious you were the only one who had access to the account and decided to bot the order instead of complete it. Enjoy your ban scammer.

Given the other issues @Arnold D has going on I think a DNT is merited here. @Arnold D please reach agreements with your customers to compensate them for botting on their accounts.
