Possible scam attempt by beyond_ripper!Beware!
Hello guys,
i had some very interesting situation few days ago and i have to share it here with you.
Here are the details:
Ownedcore Name: http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/memb...44-bioxar.html
He mentioned too many times in our skype chat "his reputation" on OwnedCore,
which i cant find anywhere,to be honest.Maybe i am blind or something 
Skype Name: beyond_ripper
Paypal Name: /
Buyer Name: /
Other payment method: He agreed to use Skrill as payment method,but he never
actually used it : )
Ownedcore scam link: /
Other sites scam link: /
Did you use a middleman? /
Explain what happened:
I will try to be short here,but i am going to provide as much details as i can.
Anyway,this guy 1st time approached me few days ago, following my WTB thread,
and he offered me some gold for sell,nothing strange in that,thats ok.
Then,few days later he approached me again,with a wish to buy gold cap of 999.999gold
on kazzak horde,eu.My employee told him price and payment method,he asked then for
link of my thread here on OC so he can check my reputation,which was provided to him.
After a small time chat regarding my new reputation (yes,i know i am a new seller and i
dont have much replies in thread,but we all have to start from somewhere and make
our way in this market),he didnt skip to mention me few times how he is on the scene
for 4 or more years,how he is full of expirience,etc etc... I can understand his fear and
i can understand that he didnt wanted to get scammed,so i offered him to buy smaller
amount,like 100k or so,so he can test us first,but he rejected that with answer
"and i would get smashed by fees ".Umh...Ok.He eventually agreed to do the trade
via Skrill,and he mentioned me that money isnt problem for him,he could buy 10 x gold cap
if he wants ... Umh...Ok again : )
Then my employee and this guy talked about trade method,we offered him entire guild
with 999k cap in it,but he wanted it traded face to face,with 2 or 3 items.I mean,its ok
by me,but i always,always suggest to my buyers that guild or ah method is far more
safe than simple f2f trade,especially for amount this big.But as i said,he asked for
f2f trade,and we agreed.
Then he went back to payment again.He mentioned 14$ fee that he has to pay,etc etc,
and he is,let me remind you,a guy who can buy 10x gold cap and money isnt problem for
him.We even offered him some extra gold in value of that 14$ or we could even agree
to recieve a money via PayPal if its send as gift to friends and family,which he rejected
with comment "-ßioXaR-: well i dont wanna get spamed about paypal things about charge back,
skrill is safe enough for both of us"
We provided him our skrill details,and he made a screenshot of payment ready to be sent
to us.In this point i had no more doubts that he is trying to pull off some scam,but i wanted
to see how he will play it to the end.No one today does trades like this.Its always payment
first,logging to game,trade,kisses and hand shakes after the trade
But ok,im "new" in
this business and i dont know much 
Then it all gets really interesting: it was porbably he or his friends,they made chars with
similar names to my char and his char,wrecking havoc in Ogrimar bank,clicking trades,
spamming,etc,trying to create some mess : ) One of them even scammed one of my
suppliers for 50k of gold,but it doesnt matter really.I wanted to see how this will all go.
He then suddenly changed his story,like,oh,too much chars there,suspicous situation,
bla bla bla, now he asked us to trade him the gold first and he will click send payment
after it
Lol
And i have to say it again: LOL : )
He then provided us his OC thread again,but told us that thats his FAKE account
which he uses for reveal scammers,and that account is merged ?!?!!? with his main
OC account
I mean, wtf

Then i took things to my hands,and took over controls on skype,swapping places
with my eployee who didnt had more energy to deal with this guy.
I will be short here,he tried to convince me for the next 30 mins or so,that he is legit
seller/buyer,he was mentioning some of the known names here like Pr3cious,and i can
check with him for his reputation,which i didnt wanted to do and to take Pr3cious or any
other guys time asking him things about obvious scam type of forum member.
Sorry Pr3cious
You will see all this mentioned above in screenshots which i will
provide.He then reminded me that he has more expirence than i,that he is no a scammer,
bla bla bla,and i kinda had other buyers and gold to deliver,so i politely went out of this
futile conversation.
He posted a post in my thread "trading now" and few mins later he edited it to "trading now...trade canceled"
and i asked him politely to either remove it or re edit,since im new in the business and i dont
want that sort of negative marketing in my thread,for the thing i wasnt resposible of,but he told me
something like ''but it happened like that''.Ok,then i contacted OC admin and he removed message
without any comment
Now,im aware that i may be wrong,but this is too much suspicious not to be truth.And only truth
i believe in at the moment,is that i was on a verge of being scammed.I removed him from skype
contacts after all this,and i had to warn you guys about it,so no one gets in the same situation
as i were few days ago.
If anyone need more details,screens,etc,please contact me here,i would be more
than glad to share.
Sorry for long story,but i had to share everything with you.Cheers and stay safe !

And i have to add this as line of the day:
He told me he could buy that gold from some big sellers,but he wanted to give a chance to small companies and see them rise 
I would add,but its only my 50 cents and i may be a jerk, but i would add that he could not try to scam some big seller,
but he can always try to do so with some new guys.Cheers !
