Gametag.com Scammed me and my World of Warcraft Account Hazletown, Internet

@EAM

I'm sorry but you're wrong.

If they were to pay any random person before they got the chance to inspect their account, then I would just guess that 50% or more of people would take the money and run. Didn't you read the report that eBay had to shut down virtual transactions because they estimated 50% of transactions were fraud. Now they ban your account if you try to sell on ebay.com.

It's a HIGHER RISK for the buyer than the seller in this industry. The seller has actions he can take. The buyer is limited depending how he pays.

My understanding is this company though will pay you first before you transfer the account information if you signup for their verified sellers program. In order to qualify you have to have some verified feedback on another website or live in North America and West Europe. So they do pay you before you transfer your account, but they can't pay any random person with no feedback. They also go through escrow.com and moneybookers escrow if you don't have any feedback.

So they do offer plenty of options for sellers to feel secure. It's up to the seller if they want to use those.

While i'm very happy to hear that someone has made some amount of money off of an account, it is very stupid to give them your account information without getting the money first.  Not trying to be rude, but NEVER account information like that!

Everything worked out well after I spoke with them on Facebook Live Chat. Complete confusion on what happened here. I was actually bombarded with a few phishing e-mails which I thought were from Blizzard that week saying my account was banned. Only assumed the worst. Big confusion. The sale went through as i had hoped and received my funds (price changed though due to me listing more gold than I had on the original form which they explained). Would use again.
