Proof that it's their Discord: Will need to give me some time to be able to get a gif of this, this report is being copy pasted as I already had it all pre-written out
Explanation of the trade: Have built/bought many accounts from this individual. The account in question that this report is over, was paid for - and after the fact had an email registered to it + botting ban on the history. This was brought up by me, as none of this was disclosed, and a replacement account was to be made. I didn't ask for a cash refund, because I would be naiive to think/expect low income areas to have expendable cash, so was totally cool with a replacement just getting made.
How they scammed: Have used RussianSpartan to create/make many bulk accounts for me overtime, would probably be in the upper 100's I would imagine. One of the accounts I paid for, after I paid - had an email registered to it and was stolen back. The account also had a botting ban which was not disclosed occurred during the training. I would imagine the ban occured during the training, and the worker registered his email to the account so he could log into the account settings to view the ban. RussianSpartan also says this in the conversation, so it's fair to say this is the order of events that occured. After the account was found to have been linked + have a ban history on it, after a few back and forth messages I made clear that I can't take the account with it having ban history on it, and having someone put their info on it already - and agreed to just having a replacement made. This all occurred nearly 3.5 months ago on June 25th, and to this day the replacement is still being built, and isn't even at the half way mark yet - which I have been very cool about. The account has not been actively trained in about 3 months, it appears someone worked on it normally for 2 weeks and then decided to stop working on it/abandon it. I have been WAY more relaxed about this situation and timeline than the situation probably warrants, especially with a replacement that is owed having no work done in about 3 months. Today, RussianSpartan, said the MOG's were stolen from the account, and was insinuating I am the one that did it, and that it has nothing to do with his internal workers - and said he wanted to go through sythe on this rather than making the replacement. I am making this report because this is the route the user wanted to go.
In summary main points of this report are:
1 - User sold an account to me, then a worker linked an email to the account after, and not disclose the ban history on the account.
2 - User said he would make a replacement rather than refund (3.5 months ago).
3 - after a few weeks, the replacement account had normal playtime on it, and since then has been abandoned.
4 - I brought up a few days ago, the fact that this account has not progressed in 3 months, as he was requesting payment on another account - so I checked the status on it to make sure he was still doing it and didn't have a debt to me.
5 - After this a few days pass, and user claims that MOG's were stolen off the account, and it was me - and appears to not want to refund or replace the account I paid for 3.5 months ago.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- While this may not be what occurred, I would imagine that this user had multiple people working on the account. With this account not being played in 3 months, I would imagine that this user had a separate worker working on it 3.5 months ago that just quit, disappeared, or had some other reason for stopping all progress, and has since given it to a new worker.
- A few days ago when I brought it up that it hasn't progressed in 3 months, I imagined whoever the first individual working on it was, probably isn't the person he gave it to a few days ago when i brought up the fact it had no training in 3 months. I would imagine the first worker who discontinued all training, is probably is the one who stole the MOG's off the account - but this is not the purpose of this report, the purpose is due to russianspartan no longer wanting to refund the 130usd payment, or provide a replacement.
All in all, to me it doesn't really matter what/how anything occured with the account, that is just what I have come to after some basic deductive reasoning. Regardless of what/how anything occured with this account, this user owes a refund of $130 for the stolen account, or a replacement account, and that is what the main part of this report is over.
