Illegal scamming on real money

0ddball · 12-30-2011

I was walking around an saw that guy (Owner of Soul of Ninjas).
He were selling his guild that has like 300+ tower time.

And of course, you can't say no to asking him how much does it cost?
It cost 5 dollars he said.

I was ready to pay with my iTunes card I got for christmas, when I told him that in Sweden we don't pay with dollars, we pay with SEK;

He told me to give my Apple ID and password.

This is illegal when I could get scammed on my real money too.

Why are you even buying a guild? Make your own...

The people selling their guilds are most likely scamming. I'd have to agree with Azrael just make your own.

Join it, get me 300 hours, then I won't complain.

It wasn't ment that I was buying it, just to see if he would scam or not.

This is scamming on real money, stealing accounts; don't take this as a joke.

The thing is you don't have proof if it's a scam. Yeah he asked you for your Apple ID and password, but he could have been actually selling the guild. Unless you actually did the deal and he stole your account there's no way of telling if it's a scam or not.

Didn't the admins send out a broadcast message about; "If someone asks for your UDID, report the player and we will take care of it".

Or something like that?

This is an Apple ID, real money.

That's not your UDID. UDID is a really long code full of numbers and letters that's unique to every iPod. I don't remember them saying anything about iTunes account information.

If something idiotic as UDID can get a player banned.
Why don't Apple ID do it?

Go and shoot yourself, it doesn't seem as you get what I'm talking about

Ouch harsh. You don't seem to know what I'm talking about. The staff said to report for people asking for you UDID. Apple ID is another story. From what you've been saying it sounds like you're just ranting.

whining

Everyone could have setted that name and stuff. You need some more screenshots for that. Also it would have been the best to report him via the feedback system (gets admins attention way faster in this case). Also he didnt say what account and password. Local church?
In my mind this isn´t proving anything.

Doesn't matter if the fact was he was buying the guild or not. Someone attempted to scam a user in fishing their Apple ID, punishment should be taken regardless of all the other factors. IMO.

Again, there is no proof that he is scamming. Yes, it's highly likely he is, but without actual proof you can't say he is.

This is slightly off topic but it's sad to me that people would be willing to pay $5.00 for a guild just because it has 300 hours. The hours don't stand as self accomplishment but only something to make you look good. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Higbey · 12-30-2011

It's enough proof for Azrael to check this guys chat logs and see if he is scamming.

Honestly, he asked for his iTunes info, you think he would just take 5 bucks and give it back?

Whether or not it would be stupid to do this deal, it's still a legitament accusation of a scammer.
