Nathanbrain - Scammer

scammer.

Here's a transcript of when he tried to 'sell me an account'

[2:09:09 PM] Michael: hey man what's up?
[2:09:18 PM] nathanbrain: hey dude
[2:09:48 PM] Michael: so the main thing im looking for is just an account that isn't b.net bound yet
[2:09:57 PM] nathanbrain: thats all i have lol
[2:09:57 PM] Michael: so I can add it to my battle.net account, which has SC2 and stuff on it
[2:10:01 PM] Michael: awesome
[2:10:17 PM] Michael: alright so I created a thread with more info about my account, and screenshots if you wanna look
[2:10:27 PM] Michael: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1333492 (I sold the SWTOR Account by now)
[2:10:29 PM] nathanbrain: oh your trading not buying :/?
[2:10:43 PM] Michael: well I maybe could buy but
[2:11:15 PM] Michael: take a look at that and see if it interests you, it's a hell of a trade up, and you could def sell it for cash if you need to
[2:12:21 PM] nathanbrain: well depends how much cash will you be offering ?
[2:13:31 PM] Michael: no idea, but a vanilla account with a 60 rogue wouldn't go for much at all these days. Only reason I know this was I ended up selling my rogue a little while ago, and he was i lvl 410, amani war bear, vanity gear, multiple 85's, legendary weapons
[2:13:38 PM] Michael: and I was lucky I got 80 for it
[2:14:14 PM] nathanbrain: yeah but the rogue has full T3
[2:14:19 PM] nathanbrain: but u dont want that i understand
[2:14:27 PM] Michael: it's for the scroll of resurrection =P
[2:14:44 PM] nathanbrain: id want about 40
[2:15:10 PM] Michael: do you have a armory link for him?
[2:15:14 PM] Michael: any more info you can tell me about him?
[2:15:20 PM] nathanbrain: im just scared to trade dont know much about origin accounts
[2:15:32 PM] nathanbrain: and mate i havent been on the account for like years
[2:16:01 PM] Michael: any rare mounts or pets? was it a CE account?
[2:16:09 PM] nathanbrain: i have no armory no name no nothing my name was something like Kapwned
[2:16:13 PM] Michael: doubtful on the last aprty lol
[2:16:17 PM] Michael: part*
[2:16:25 PM] nathanbrain: CE account ?
[2:16:30 PM] Michael: ya collectors edition?
[2:16:41 PM] nathanbrain: nope its not CE
[2:16:48 PM] Michael: ya because you could sell for wayyy more
[2:16:49 PM] Michael: if it was
[2:17:00 PM] nathanbrain: but it has the razzashi raptor from ZG
[2:17:11 PM] Michael: nice =P ZG was fun back in the day
[2:17:16 PM] nathanbrain: indeed it was
[2:17:29 PM] Michael: is he horde?
[2:17:29 PM] nathanbrain: also has the title
[2:17:33 PM] nathanbrain: High Warlord
[2:17:37 PM] Michael: very cool
[2:17:38 PM] nathanbrain: yeah
[2:18:14 PM] Michael: alright hmm
[2:18:27 PM] Michael: I can just sell my swtor acct somewhere probably and make up some lost cash
[2:18:48 PM] Michael: somebody will probably buy it
[2:18:56 PM] Michael: its like 120 bucks worth of games
[2:19:05 PM] Michael: not to mention the collectors stuff / chars and all that jazz
[2:19:50 PM] Michael: and it's not tied to a b.net account right? So I think I should be able to merge it onto mine
[2:20:09 PM] nathanbrain: you would be able to merge it yes
[2:20:20 PM] nathanbrain: tbh mate i would take the origin account
[2:20:22 PM] nathanbrain: but
[2:20:27 PM] nathanbrain: i dont know how secure etc they are
[2:20:41 PM] nathanbrain: so id rather take the money
[2:20:50 PM] Michael: yeah I understand
[2:21:13 PM] Michael: ok so what do you think about doing 20 up front, and then just giving me username/pass (not secret q&a)
[2:21:19 PM] Michael: and after i take a look around the acct and make sure everything is ok
[2:21:24 PM] Michael: I'll give you the other 20
[2:21:31 PM] Michael: and you give me the sq&a so i can change mail over
[2:21:39 PM] Michael: e-mail rather
[2:21:45 PM] Michael: I just don't want to get gypped ya know
[2:21:57 PM] Michael: oh and if you feel more comfortable you can always talk with me on the phone
[2:21:59 PM] Michael: *************** (edited out)
[2:22:02 PM] Michael: my name is Mike btw
[2:23:06 PM] Michael: or I guess we can do the 40 up front, but I'd need some kind of assurance that you wont just take off with my money hah
[2:24:41 PM] nathanbrain: dude if i would take 40 from you that would be sad
[2:24:43 PM] nathanbrain: as been as im a 20 year old

[2:25:54 PM] nathanbrain: can you transfer to UK bank accounts tho
[2:25:54 PM] nathanbrain: ??
[2:26:25 PM] Michael: never tried, really would prefer paypal, and I know how you can request money for a payment, so that way I can't reverse the payment
[2:26:35 PM] Michael: I used to sell/buy accounts back in the day
[2:27:01 PM] nathanbrain: I dont use paypal

[3:08:12 PM] *** Call to nathanbrain, no answer. ***

He bailed directly after I paid him. Claimed a few hours later that it was a power outage and that he'd get back to me. Except.. he was on Sythe online during the time he claimed this power outage. Curious... Saw him later that night, he came onto skype, I got in a few sentences, no reply, he logged off again (probably went invisible). This is the next morning (3/8/12). No answer via PM, E-Mail or Skype. He's a SCAMMER

EDIT: I can Take a Screenshot of the dialogue via Skype as well, if you need further proof. Thanks.

 

Insufficient proof; please read the stickies.
