Been imposter scammed 400m osrs

[ash2007]

Hello I have been scammed by selimm and this middleman with many vouches Vouch!. I have paid the guy with all the vouches 400m total and he logged out and deleted me on discord. Please help as a person with many trades shouldnt he have some sort of penalty? Screenshot

Scammer's profile link: Ovidijus00 and selimm
Explanation of the trade: I was buying a name from selimm and ovidijus was the middleman
How they scammed: The evidence is below
Proof that it's their Skype: It was discord and the evidence is because i directly pmed his profile on sythe after having him on discord with me. and he replied to me directly from the same dm, that there is direct proof as he copied the discord chat.
Skype profile ID & conversation pictures: everything from the chat screenies are below
Other relevant trade screenshots: I also let him log on my rs3 acc but i took that info off as that is sensitive info. I changed my password after he left the discord. and I knew i was scammed

Only you can see this —delete this message.

You can also see as evidence that the guy selling the name and me messaged him directly from the account. I wanted to confirm it was really his acc so i dmed him on the sythe acc. http://prntscr.com/hrwcnn, he replied directly from the acc. I want to note this was me trying to buy a name for rsgp. but in the screenie the pm also shows the other guy trying to setup the trade, jack directly replied to me from the profile. Please help

 

[ash2007]

although he wasnt a name dealer he had many vouches and this was my first time ever doing this please help i believed it would be trusted because he is a well known dealer. he even told me http://prntscr.com/hrwdc5. please how can you let a dealer like that go without punishment

 

We do not provide MiddleManning services, and you were obviously scammed by imposter. The only way you can safely trade us is by adding us on skype (clicking on it in profile/topic) or by visiting live chat on our website. WE have nothing to do with that particular scam, messages were copy+pasted to your inbox so we're not responsible for the fact you didn't check if they do match with your conversation.

 

[ash2007]

but you messaged me directly from the account, i pmed you directly from your profile page, so the only way you could have replied is if you were on the account yourself

 

I don't want to be harsh with you, but dude, read the message I've sent to you and compare it with your conversation. It's 100% different, so what are you talking about? Also we don't use Discord as you can see from our topics. We do not do any kind of trades besides old school runescape gold selling/buying, it's 100% obvious to anyone who would ever want to visit our profile.

 

[ash2007]

he linked me to the vouch page, and i directly messaged the profile page he linked which is the same. Any syth mod can log into my account and see themself that was the account i messaged. whether he copy and pasted is irrelavant because i posted directlt to his profile page, so only someone with real access can send a direct message from there correct?

I'm not sure what the hell are you trying to prove here to be honest. But since you're playing dumb, here's evidence from my side (yes, yes, actual screenshots, not some copy+paste stuff you call "screenies")
Imgur: The magic of the Internet

 

@ash2007

You spoke to an impostor through a man in the middle scam. What they did is impostor the person you were trying to trade with. Once you asked for a PM, they went to @Ovidijus00 website and linked your profile pretending you be you and asked Ovidijus to PM you. Once sent, the impostor hoped you wouldn't realize and then proceeded. It's imperative when you get a PM to read it thoroughly and make sure the contents of the PM match EXACTLY, because even though you got a PM you still might not be talking to the actual person. You need to be very careful when trading online. Double check everything

 

[ash2007]

im not playing dumb....if it was indeed an imposter its my bad man im not one to just blame i honestly got scammed. http://prntscr.com/hrwi53 this screenshot just shows that i was asking him for confirmation. all i know is i will never try to buy a name ever again im not trying to get you banned man im just saying someone had access to your account i just want my money back which will likely not happen

 

Thanks @Dunworry for being that patient to explain everything, hope Santa will be generous to you <3

 

[ash2007]

thanks dunworry but im confused because i pmed the profile page directly, if thats the case even if i spoke to an imposter how was that person able to reply to me directly from the original pm I sent to the profile itself?

 

It's simple: The guy who scammed you, came to our live chat and asked us to PM you. Since you PM'ed us in meantime, we only had to reply. To make sure nobody gets scammed, we ALWAYS copy the whole conversation, but unfortunately, you did not double-check it to make sure you're safe.
Dunworry has explained everything else.

 

[ash2007]

I guess i got scammed by an impostor, didnt mean to blame you man i dont know about live chat and all that, the name selling thing is too complicated so i think i will just avoid it in the future

 

Just make sure you double check everything before any kind of a trade. Use only confirmed methods to get in touch with that person (whatever it's in their topic: skype/livechat/discord etc...).
Have a nice day and sorry for your loss.

@Dunworry Stated it best:

You need to be very careful when trading online. Double check everything

I'm sorry for your loss, however you need to be more cautious when trading, especially with large amounts. People always try to impersonate reputable users, and as I said you just need to be wary of these things to prevent them from re-occurring in the future. In the PM that you received from @Ovidijus00 it even stated that you're a visitor, and the chat logs didn't line up at all.

I highly recommend reading this thread to make yourself more wary of these scams: https://www.sythe.org/threads/guide-how-to-middleman-a-trade/; more specifically the spoiler that is titled "Common types of scams and recognizing sketchy behaviour" as it'll give you more insight about these scams, and how to prevent them from ever happening again.
