But don't worry, we're not looking to sell to you. We're looking to buy from you. We're currently buying starter accounts for our official launch.
An account scout found your post on an online forum, and gave me your contact information. According to the info I was given, you're looking to sell a level 70 Shaman. Is this correct?
Victim (8:36:39 PM): yeah
skiephes (8:37:10 PM): If you're interested in selling to us, may I ask you a few questions?
Victim (8:37:26 PM): sure
skiephes (8:38:42 PM): First some questions about the character:
What race is the Shaman?
Is there an armory link for your character?
Does the account have any alts over level 60?
Victim (8:38:55 PM): male troll shaman
Victim (8:39:35 PM): Armory link'
Victim (8:39:47 PM): he also has a full set of epic healing gear, including all of season 1 gear
skiephes (8:41:21 PM): Wonderful. We're definitely looking to purchase, but before that, I'd like to ask some security questions about the account.
Are you the original owner of the account?
Do you have all of the information on the account? Secret Question and Answer, Full Name, and the ability to change the e-mail adresses on the account?
Victim (8:42:13 PM): im not the original owner, im the second owner. i know the login info, the secret q and a, and i can change the email. i dont know the original guy's full name and address though
skiephes (8:43:01 PM): Do you have the CD keys on the account? If so we issue a $25 bonus to all people who can provide their CD Key
Victim (8:43:18 PM): no i dont
skiephes (8:44:03 PM): Ok, well as of now, we're willing to pay $435 for the account. The price is negotiable if you feel it is now what you deserve.
skiephes (8:44:55 PM): If you wish to negotiate the price, please provide me with any additional information about the character. Gold on the account, attunement information. Anything you feel would add to the amount we'll pay
Victim (8:45:34 PM): 435 sounds reasonable. you do it through paypal i assume?
skiephes (8:45:49 PM): Of course, and only through paypal as of now.
skiephes (8:46:40 PM): If you agree to the price, I must ask that for security reasons you change your password right now. I am required before all purchases, to log in and verify the account.
You may change your password back when this is done. To make this process quicker, please log out by the Orgrimmar bank.
skiephes (8:47:28 PM): At most it takes 10 minutes for me to check over your character, professions, bank. I'll then log out, and your character will of course be in the condition it was in when I logged in
skiephes (8:47:48 PM): You may move any gold to another account right now if you still feel unsafe of course.
Victim (8:48:45 PM): do you have markeedragon feedback? if so would you be willing to make a post on my forum 'MarkeeDragon thread link' so i can verify it
skiephes (8:49:57 PM): I'm afraid I don't have an account to any forum. I just handle the inspection and purchase of accounts, I do not look for them. We have three different people who browse various forums looking for accounts, and send contact information to me and others who oversee purchase.
Victim (8:50:24 PM): is there any way for me to verify that this is legitimate?
skiephes (8:53:56 PM): I am not sure, how I would be able to prove it to you. Our business process works as such:
Step 1: 1 person finds you and passes the information on to me
Step 2: I interview you about the account, ask the necessary questions, and log in to make sure the account is legitimate. Afterward I advise you to change your password.
Step 3. If you agree to the purchase, we get the account information, and then pass this on to the payment issuer. Their job is to make sure you get paid as quickly as possible.
The process of payment usually takes no less than 5 minutes, no more than 24 hours. (we're fairly quick qith paying, but I am required to inform you it can take 24 hours in case things are going slow, or we're having issues)
skiephes (8:54:48 PM): So as of now, there's nothing I can truly provide you with, because I myself don't have access to a forum account to show you any rep, and I don't oversee the paypal account we use for sending out payment. I'm unfortunately just the guy in the middle.
skiephes (8:55:55 PM): If you still feel uncomfortable with this all, we ask that you cancel right now. The last thing we want is to make anyone we do business with feel iffy.
skiephes (8:58:06 PM): If you do feel you wish to proceed, now is the time I am required to ask you change that password on the account (so we do not know your original password in case you change your mind) I can assure you the process will be quick, and I'll even continue to converse with you in-game if necessary.
Victim (8:58:18 PM): would you be able to call me on the phone to prove you are legitimate?
skiephes (8:58:42 PM): Of course, would you like my number, or would you prefer I call you?
skiephes (9:01:15 PM): If you would like to call me, I can be reached at 1-916-588-5745
Victim (9:01:43 PM): yeah just give me a moment. im moving stuff around in the WoW bank
skiephes (9:02:01 PM): Ok then, while you do that I will be back in about 5-10 minutes
Victim (9:02:06 PM): ok
skiephes (9:06:41 PM): I am back
Victim (9:06:47 PM): ok
skiephes (9:07:10 PM): So now then, how would you like to go about doing this?
skiephes (9:09:12 PM): Also I'd like to appologize in advance because of this AIM interview and purchase. It does feel a bit unprofessional, but I assure you this entire process will be automated when our website officially launches.
As of now we're currently seeking accounts, so we can have a stock of accounts when we launch in a few weeks. So should you ever wish to sell to us in the future, we won't have to deal with AIM, you can simply go through the forms
Victim (9:09:49 PM): ok, im still moving some stuff around, give me another minute
skiephes (9:10:28 PM): No problem, we like to do what we can to make sure you feel comfortable.Take as much time as you need.
Victim (9:19:06 PM): i know this is silly, but can you call my cell phone and leave a message? my number is XXX-XXX-XXXX
skiephes (9:19:15 PM): No problem
skiephes (9:21:23 PM): Message sent
Victim (9:22:10 PM): ok i believe you
skiephes (9:22:35 PM): I am glad to hear that, so now what would you like to go about doing?
Victim (9:22:50 PM): ok ill give you my login info
skiephes (9:23:14 PM): Okie dokie, whenever you are ready then
Victim (9:24:43 PM): login is 'LOGIN'
Victim (9:24:49 PM): pw is 'PASSWORD'
skiephes (9:25:27 PM): Logging in now
Victim (9:25:31 PM): ok
skiephes (9:30:22 PM): Logged out of the account, everything is in order and the character has been verified. You can now:
Continue with the transaction, we ask that you change the e-mail address first. Once that is verified, we request the full name on the account, and the Secret Question and Answer.
When all of that is verified, payment will be issued to your account, and our transaction will be complete
skiephes (9:30:43 PM): If you are having second thoughts, simply let me, know, and you can change your password right now, with no problem
Victim (9:31:28 PM): ok, what email should i change it to
skiephes (9:31:34 PM): The e-mail address we wish you to change your account over to is 'the e-mail I provided'
Victim (9:32:56 PM): ok i just sent the confirmation to that email
skiephes (9:33:07 PM): Ok, and I am checking right now
skiephes (9:34:32 PM): When I recieve confirmation, we shall move on to the next step, and work on finalizing this purchase.
I am required to you remind you upon the agreed upon price of $435. You of course, still agree to this price, correct?
Victim (9:35:09 PM): yes that is correct
skiephes (9:35:55 PM): I have recieved confirmation of the e-mail change. I must now ask for the full name on the account, followed by the security question and answer.
skiephes (9:37:11 PM): Once the SQ/A is verified, payment will be issued, and you shall be a little richer.
Victim (9:37:39 PM): 'Name went here' is the full name. the security question is 'Security question'. The answer is 'Answer'
skiephes (9:37:47 PM): Checking now
skiephes (9:40:05 PM): Account has been verified, now then, you will recive paypal payment within 15 minutes to 24 hours (please remember that is an estimated time, and we have never taken as long as 24 hours to this day, but we are required to mention it just in case)
What paypal account will payment be sent to?
Victim (9:40:23 PM): 'his e-mail'
skiephes (9:41:24 PM): Ok, forwading this to the payment department. If payment has not been issued within 24 hours, please call me directly at my number, 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX. And I will make sure everything is going ok.
Victim (9:41:39 PM): ok, thank you for your help and patience
skiephes (9:42:09 PM): No problem, and thank you for doing business with us. I hope to do business with you again in the future |
