- Briefly explain the trade: I offered to buy his account (located here: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1481416) for the $15 b/o price. We exchanged MSNs, and I proceeded to go first based on member's vouches and post count, and the fact that I don't have a reputation here yet.
- How they scammed: I paid on good faith, given the minute quantity of cash requested. He proceeded to give me the username, password, and, at my request, the recovery questions. When I asked for him to reset the e-mail, he logged off of MSN. Haven't seen him log-in since, so I'm assuming he's blocked communications.
- Proof that you were not talking to an impostor: MSN e-mail in the trade screenshots matches the one posted on the thread, as well as the one he sent to me through private message (screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/rm8uu1/6).
- Trade screenshots:
As shown, user terminated communications at 8:33 AM, without completing the account transfer. He then updated his selling thread (http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1481416) stating that the account is still for sale.
It's only $15, so I'm not too worried about it, however he has multiple account selling threads, and I'd hate for someone more attached to their money to be disappointed.
