did your friend change his email on the acc to the other guys? Cause if he didnt; he can retrieve his account back and just send a msg to a gm and tell them he got hacked.

I've never understood this "log" nonsense. I can open up a blank .txt and incriminate whoever i want if that's all it takes to get people in trouble. Email logs? Same deal, takes 30 sec to make a legitimate looking log of emails showing the other person clearly to be scamming me.
log /= hard evidence

Wait so if the douchebag sold all the gear and items (its all top tier arena gear afaik) on a few characters then blizzard can't respawn the items? Then he is fucked no matter what.
u cant sell pvp gear. doesnt generate any gold. And as i said. Why bother about gear that will be replaced in 2 levels, and as for mounts and stuff it should now all be in his achievement log rather than as items, thus cant be removed.

yea, i know. That's why they don't take this kind of shit as proof and don't allow virtual transactions. You need a physical paper trail.

You think a scammer cares? He'll sell everything to fuck someone just because.

Paypal is horrible. Paypal is literally a scammer's paradise. I've been scammed for $120 there, my friends have been scammed, literally every transaction you do there's no safety at all. You can even have the money in your account and the scammer can take it right back out. How the hell the scammers can do basically whatever they want and you can only sit helpless while paypal ignores you - who knows. In my case, I proved the guy was a known cyber criminal verified by independent records and everything, and PayPal just told me 'Sorry, he already transferred the money out of his account. If he ever puts money back in it we'll send you your $120.'
Three years later... nothing. And, to top it off, I know that same account is still scamming on Ebay, pirating software, and running cell-phone-sale scams IRL, because I've had friends pretend to be interested in these things and the same guy tried to scam them. Where's my freaking $120?

sorry to hear, but paypal is certainly NOT seller friendly especially for digital intangible items.

Luckily for your friend - Blizzard is really awesome when it comes to customer support, so they'll probably lock the account asap
|
The problem with this is that when people sell a WoW account its like kicking a drug addiction. The fact that the account isn't gonna be sold is like throwing a crack pipe in front of their face again.
|
Well this guy has no more proof than you do, just say your buddies account got stolen and Blizzard should at least give him back his items.

E-Bay and Paypal are almost synonymous with one another considering most people pay through Paypal on E-Bay.
Some guy with a 100% rating who sold well over 800 things tried to scam me on E-Bay. Apparently it was a stolen account and he scammed 50 other people. It was for clothes though, not virtual items. So most of us had no problem getting the money back.
It happens all the time.

This exact situation has happened to me with a WoW sale.
Paypal will not do thing.
You can get item/gold/characters restored if you call Blizzard.
The thing is, usually when you sell a WoW account, the seller will change the email address registered to the account to the buyers email. So if your friend has done that then its game over. Blizzard will not talk to anyone who doesn't have access to the email attached to the account in question. And it's not like you can call Blizz and say 'Hey I was selling my WoW account and the guy ripped me off, please reset my password and gimmie back my shit'. Selling accounts is against the TOS.
If your friend only gave the username/password then all he has to do is go to the WoW website and say he forgot his password and they will email him a new one.
|
ok, so my friend got his account back and its all legit and back in place it seems. I guess the scammer actually wanted to use the account and shit, Maybe he stole the paypal account and was trying to buy shit with it but the real owner claimed shenanigans.

You could try emailing the scammer guy with the ol' Nigerian email scam and fight fire with fire.
