Don't Use Playerauctions: PlayerGuardian Scam

Accurate as of October-November 2017
Hey,

I always thought playerauctions was the best way to purchase a runescape account and gold from. They advertise their PA guardian as if it will actually help you when you get scammed or get an account recovered.
However, player guardian is actually a scam within playerauctions.
I had a $800 account get recovered from PA off of a 300+ feedback seller and I purchased the guardian with it which was about $120. I had all the proof in the world that the account was not in my hands anymore, except they wanted proof from JAGEX. They give you a time limit between a day and two days to get this impossible information from jagex. They know you cannot get this information and so they don't have to pay for the stolen account.

I tried drilling into their heads that jagex has never and will never release that type of information to anybody. You cannot email or tweet to jagex asking "hey did this _____ acc get recovered?"
Well folks, that will only get you to about the second step of the player guardian process so who knows what is next after that.
I have all the emails with them that I may post if needed. I really suggest that anybody that buys an account off of playerauctions does NOT. Their safety / security is a scam.

perhaps

just thought everybody should know that PA will not help you if your account gets recovered AND if you pay the extra hundred or so dollars for protection on it.
