First of all - you tried to buy account, which is illegal.
Any further action is pointless.
So forget it, that's all you can do.
BTW, if you have his secret answer, why don't you login and rob him.
After that tell him that you will give him back the items when he gives you back the money.
Yeah, i know it sounds like a dumb idea, but it's a good way that in the end no one will be hurt.
Or you can just be a scammer, rob him and sell his stuff
The choise is yours.

well usually when i see people selling accounts. they give the email they verified it with...which can be recovered...and if it recovered your screwed.
having the email is very vital now

2nd "well usually when i see people selling accounts. they give the email they verified it with...which can be recovered...and if it recovered your screwed.

i gave my e-mail as e-mail veryfication but nothing in the mail box... so i guess he changed it back :\

yikes. Well its a lesson learned right?
If its a good deal...something must be wrong.
Thats probably one of the reasons i will never buy a sun weapon that is over a bil. All i have to say is that _SomeOne_ got lucky buying the first 9D sun glavie from one of my friends.

"If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
Well, if you feel that you have no motivation for making any more cash or rather carrying on with a char with hardly no money.
Then i suggest you start again on a new server, making a new char for me has always given me motivation when things have gone wrong. (e.g scammed, messed up stats, etc)

I think one friend can help me with some pwlvling and i`m a wiz so i can do some pwlvl too just to return some of the cash... i`m just angry about that cause i`ve made my 150 mil with 2.5 years of hard playing cause i never achieved 50+ lvl...and the money i had was much for me but whatever i will try make them again... i`ll sell some items i bought and so...and after all now it is easier to make money...this is my only motivation :\ thank u guys for the replys
scammer nickname : ll_SM_ll (never believe him) that is all i can do

a friend of mines made that mistake. its weird, my friend bought an account on olympus, he played for a week and then bought silk and later found out that the person that sold it to him changed the password and got it back.
its just a mistake that you learn from buhdd
