Account Recovery

[Corntrip]

Hey, so I just bought some accounts, will the seller be able to recover it back after some time? Like some sort of account recovery scam?

[jackus]

Do you own every detail? Like the Security Answer? And the Name and Birthdates? Change them all. Everything.

The most important is. Do you own the Cd Key

[Corntrip]

I have the secret answer and the name, but not the birthdate. Then again how do I change all those details? Don't you need like a legit ID or something to get them changed? Unfortunately no I don't have the CD-key =/

Hey Corn, those details cannot be changed. The best way to avoid call backs is to use your judgements skills on the type of person you are doing business with. The original account owner will ALWAYS be able to recall if they want.

Guess I'm pretty much screwed, any advice to get them shut down for good? Would proof of them being traded for real money be enough to get a perm ban?

Moneybookers. I thought about bringing it to their attention but I think both of us will get screwed considering the policy forbids selling of 3rd party goods.

so the scammer already claim the account back? or u r just afraid

[Corntrip]

afraid, but considering the reputation of the scammer well I don't want to bother wasting anymore time/money on those accounts.

There was actually a post about this on blizzhackers awhile back, it was about a loophole in their system and how to use it to scam people who buy accounts. Essentially if you first send yourself a e-mail reset, prior to having your buyer change the account to his/her e-mail, the original e-mail you sent yourself remains active indefinitely and can be used at any time to recover the account. Their "plan" was essentially to wait out the 30 day chargeback period on paypal and recover the account reclaiming it and all of the victim's gear/gold. I have personally purchased an account and timed it out so that by the time the 30 day period was over, I had deleted all of the original owner's characters and created/deleted more to eliminate the ability to undelete them (4 level 60s) left nothing but mules, deleted all of the remaining scrap gear/gold on the account, and had sent myself 20+ recovery e-mails to recover the account at any time without notice should the original owner decide to try to recover it at any point. It's sort of like, scamming a scammer in a way.
