I'll start by linking this: Velveto / liltoleeee which shows that he was given do not trade after my transaction with him, and he had already been banned before.
Scammer's profile link: Velveto
Explanation of the trade: I bought a low-ish level account which was ready to do zulrah from him for 20m, seemed relatively safe considering I believe he had $20 donator status prior to the do not trade. [Donor] 84 combat Zulrah ready Trade itself went smoothly, I got access to the account, changed password, email, and was provided (less than sufficient as we'll find out) information in case the account was compromised.
How they scammed: This was a bit odd to me, and I personally believe it was due to the account having only 25m gp worth of items on it that I was given it back, the circumstances may not even warrant a ban depending on how staff views this.
What happened: I was doing zulrah on the account, and had access for about 10 or so days now, when it disconnected me in zul-andra or whatever it's called.
Immediately after I see this, I both sent in my recovery form to jagex with the information provided by him here:
as well as messaged him on skype and found that he was online. While submitting my appeal, the first thing I noticed was that the email had been changed to one that started with a v, perhaps something to do with velveto(?), but certainly not my own (could be provided if it matters).
Then, as mentioned, the responses came in from the seller himself, and he told me that he RECOVERED THE WRONG ACCOUNT.
Note both that nothing was taken, but also that he moved the 'wrong account' from zulrah, likely to clan wars, then to varrock, then ran to the GE, there were no rings of wealth, and I was actively doing zulrah. Not sure what type of 'gmauler' he thought he accidentally left at zulrah. I suspect he planned on selling everything and taking it, but like I said, it was only 25m on a 20m account.
The above is why I questioned whether this is ban-worthy, since nothing was taken, but the circumstances show that it was likely planned to be otherwise IMO. Right after he gave access back he started trying to sell me services and accounts again via skype.
Proof that it's their Skype:
Other notes: I did delay posting this between 1-2 days because I didn't want the user to recover the account again should he receive another infraction for this. The account has since been permanently banned, purposefully suicide botted so that he couldn't get anything back from this. It's unfortunate that after this there was no way to assume anything other than that he would recover it again later.
Please let me know if I need to add/edit any of the information provided/not provided.
