Explanation:
- Reaches out to me to sell a near maxed iron for $150. He accepts
- He shared login / code to login to JL for inspection. Everything checks out
- I review the account status and notice JL email and the communication email does not check out
- He insists on changing the the JL to my email and payment immediately
- I ask to first change the communication email since it was the email the account was created on based on my inspection
- He sends me a link for communication email change. I change it successfully BUT it was for some random account as he tried to deceive me and not the account in question (###)
- He then sends link to change the JL email address to mine
- I successfully change it. One last inspection before payment, I realised what he did (See ### above)
- I told him I need it changed and he tried BSing me.

Informed Titanite, the owner of the open market server, to kick him out as he's pulling off a scam. I am emailing the original owner of the account (which i got from JL data download) as logs show email was changed from theirs on 19 Jul which was the first JL email ever. This is a stolen account I am certain.

Note 1: From the beginning, he said he has access to the original email and then BS'd me. Noticed he was reported for impostering YanLiLi.

Note 2: I am off on an Europe trip for ~2.5 weeks starting in 4 hours. I will keep an eye here but bear with me if I am inactive. I a expecting this JL account to be locked by Jagex forever anyway as I suspect OO already logged in a recovery request for a JL.

Note 3: In a rush, will add SS later

They advised they do not feel comfortable proceeding with me returning the account. They have already sent a recovery. Evidence of the scammer cleaning bank provided with them.

They'd like to wait for Jagex to respond instead of me returning the account.

Hello - yes the person who got scammed for this account here - Rogue Services did kindly offer to return the account but I already put in the account recovery, so I will wait for that instead of risking giving out any further information related to this account.

@ Mods - I'll return the account to Rltz if no concerns by Wed

 

Hi @Rltz,

Waiting on your recovery appeal is probably a good idea.
In the event you aren't able to get your account back, you're free to prove ownership in private so only staff can see.
Do you happen to have any screenshots of your account getting stolen?

Hi @Zora,

Yes, I recorded the whole interaction and have it saved on my PC - I also have all the proof that I am the OO.
I also have access to the email that Rogue Services covered in the screenshot.

 

@Rltz has confirmed he's the rightful owner of the account.
In case the recovery request gets denied, please return the account to him @Rogue Services

Also a big thank you to @Rogue Services for helping out here and doing the right thing.

@Zora Will do.

It is a JL. If his recovery gets denied or even accepted as he’s OO, Jagex never returns JL account. It gets locked forever in both sceneario.

My suggestion is I transfer his account back to his original email now. He might be able to cancel his recovery request.

 

The account has been returned to @Rltz
Thank you @Rogue Services for helping out here.
