Searching for Advice of a Mod/Admin

Hello, im here with a bit of a problem right now.

2 Weeks ago i've sold my Runescape account to: RyanL2709

So within a week i got pmed on skype by him "Hey man you stole the account, give me it back"
So after a long argue i recovered the account for him and Jagex messaged me that they were suspecting me of selling the account and would take access if i would try recovering it again.

Email:

So now as on today, he messaged me AGAIN, saying that i stole the account and that i should give it back to him.
I told him that i can't recover the account anymore, and last time we spoke he said he'd take full responsibility of the account or anything that would happen to it.

I also noticed, that within a few days he tried selling the account on eBay, suspecting thats the reason he wanted me to recover it?

ADVICE PLEASE

Do you have a Skype convo of him requesting that? With the Skype profile beside the conversation please, if possible (right click his avatar > view profile).

It's hard to show if he sold it on then requested the recovery, that's the thing. The safest bet, and what I'd do, is return his items and refund him the cost price of the account. It may be possible for you to sell it on in future safely, without causing suspicion to Jagex, then if he potentially sold it on; he has the cost price which is owed to that third user and you're not involved.

Logically, that's what I'd do. Alternatively you could return it to him.. but should it be locked - it's a gray area as to whether you'd be responsible to refund. So therefore you're probably better off refunding and having the account than refunding when the account is totally locked.

They messaged me in the email, that if they'd suspect me selling the account again, they'd take access away from it, if i'd give the buyer his money back, i'd be sitting here without a account since the day i gave him the account back i changed the email + password again, that would just make me lose a account and him going away with nothing.

It's an odd situation, I've never seen an email like that.

I'll get back to ya. Just wanna make sure we have a consensus on this kind of situation if similar ones come up.

Return the details to him, if it gets locked beyond recovery then it's not your responsibility.

Been almost 2 days now, haven't had a reply yet...

Checked my junk folder to, i suppose Jagex is ignoring me now and might of taken the account.

The buyer of the account hasn't spoken to me the last 2 days
