WARNING: Scammer on the loose.

MikeBooster · Oct 6, 2013

TL;DR Devin EloBoosting (aut0r_69) is a scammer and avoid doing business with them if you're sensible.

Hey guys, not to be a drama queen or anything but rather give you guys a warning so you dont experience what i've experienced! First and foremost, this guy is an active boost seller, which is why I'm posting here. I'm sure he or someone he knows will see it, but that's not what's important; what is important is that you guys/gals see this.

His name is Devin EloBoosting.
Skype: aut0r_69

Now that I've painted the scene I'll get into detail. This individual, Devin, claims that he can elo-boost your account and he may or may not tell you that he has associates that also boost. He claims to be Diamond 5 (NoitroX) but he was actually boosted from Plat 1 -> Diamond 3. He then fell to diamond 5 where he cannot fall anymore. I had not a clue he wasn't actually Diamond until the booster that boosted his account crossed paths with me. While it is not that detrimental, it is very relevant. He is a fraud.

He approached me asking me if I'd like to complete some jobs for him as he is overloaded. I told him sure and asked him to list some jobs and prices. I received this response:

That is what I would consider to be an agreement of payment. I agreed to boost what is needed. This is where the problem comes in. I played the job that I agreed to play in return for money. I am assigned a silver 3 account at 0 LP. He tells me that he won't pay me until I've completed the job. I was reluctant at first but he assures me he's a business man.

[10/1/2013 3:03:22 PM] Mike: ok i like to be paid first but if u can promise you pay :3
[10/1/2013 3:04:00 PM] Devin EloBoosting- End of Season Let me know now if u need a boost!: I will pay you based on the prices I gave you earlier man. I am a businessman I assure you will get paid.

Taking his word for it was not a smart idea on my part whatsoever. I should've trusted my gut instinct, but I was bored and out of jobs, so I made an error of judgement. I got the account from Silver 3 0 LP to promotion series in more or less 24 hours, and told him I would finish it later. He agrees and I go on with my night/following morning. I return to complete the boost and realize it was out of promotion and had gone 0-2. I asked him what happened and he put the blame on someone else or something of that sort. Look below:

In that image you should see that he admits he lost me the promo series, AND that I agreed to get it back to the series (2 games). Seeing as how I only needed 2 more games to complete the boost without his interference, I tell him I will do the two games to get it back to series and we'll call it good. That is fair, right? Apparently not.

Moments later, I headed to a friends house to watch worlds for the night. I returned much later that evening to find the account from Silver 3 promo AGAIN (through my doings) tank all the way down to Silver 3 40 LP. I confronted him about the payment I get some extremely sketchy and inconsiderate replies:

In this image you can see that he will not take the blame but rather keep insisting that I finish it. He has to get it to promos again, so my money will have to wait EVEN if I decided to finish the boost I had already "completed." He is withholding money from me, and is ignoring me now to avoid payment.

In conclusion, please be careful who you choose to handle your account. This is awfully disheartening as someone who works for their payments and is not paid. I don't deserve this and neither do any of you. I hope you guys can see this man for who he is. A fraud.

Basically looks like he tried to do the promo (the easier part of the boost imo as it only requires 2 wins out of 3 games) to cut you out of some money but ended up failing.

May want to add a tl;dr for people not looking to read the whole thing XP

Good idea, but its apparent in the last image that he made some bullshit shortcut to avoid paying me UNLESS I did "insert bullshit here." When the job was complete. But yeah, does need a TLDR!
