So CCP, how quick are you to delete those kind of post versus how long it takes to resolve character scam ? Come on.

Considerng the peope in forums and people that actually do the investigation & restore / reinburst are difrent (I'd presume?), I doubt this helps at all...

I had a purchase I conducted through my alt where I was scammed by a hacked account. Had my isk back in less then 24hrs.

I mean, how hard would that be to use CCP as our third party ??!
You send the ISK to CCP and then if the account and character are ok to be sold, the transaction goes through...
HOW HARD WOULD THAT BE ?
But no, that wouldn't cause nearly enough drama.

It appears as though I have been scammed and I put up a petition the morning after I sent the ISK, deleted petition and started again but no reply in 24 hours. I'm sure they're quite busy as I've seen quite a few scams recently. A secure system is seriously needed, there's one for GTCs but not characters which baffles me.
I'm not quite sure on this but are you allowed to use a third party to hold on to the ISK and once the seller sends the character, the buyer confirms that they have received the it and then third party forwards the ISK to the seller on the buyer's behalf. I'd love to get into something like that, even if it were non-profit as I'm online quite a lot and it wouldn't use up much of my time.

I definitely think there should be a secure system in place. Not only for character xfer but also so we don't have to give our account user names out. How hard would it be to put in a system to generate a 24 hr temp id that is a middle tag to your account so that you give the id and the use that to xfer the character to your account. With the increased amount of hacked accounts it only makes sense. Last thing I want is to buy a character only to find my account was hacked afterward.

This is probably the premium source of account username for hackers...

Never give out your account name on the forums. If someone asks you on the forums for the account name, tell them to contact you in-game. If they refuse, retract the offer. Also, never ever ever ever ever x100 times give out your e-mail! That is their most consistent way to compromise your account.

A lot of people are calling "SCAM" tho without realizing there is a 10 hour hold on characters before they show up in your account.
They send the ISK, the other party says "Sent character", buyer waits an hour, then says OMG, NO CHARACTER! WTF.
Serious, been watching forums lately and thats the cause of MOST of the issues. Don't think hackers have suddenly got any smarter.
On a slightly more "gamist" note, wonder how many people from "that game" have come over here with their computer full of who knows what kinda add-ons and viruses, hoping to buy a character and their email has already been compromised by gold buying or whatever.
Just my 2cents.

Well I received the mail October 6, 2010 3:47:14 PM from support that the character transfer was ongoing. That actually means the seller has paid the stupid $20 right ?
After the stupid 10 hours, if there is no transfer done, I should have at least received an automatic email explaining wtf was going on... omg, that's so brilliant I can't believe I just thought of that !
Now I have no ISK, no Character, No answers. I didn't wait 10 minutes...
What could have happened ? The seller canceled the transaction ? Character is stuck somewhere where there is no phone so he can't call home to say he'll be late ?
WTF

I've seen many a sale where it took over 10 hours. Chill out and wait, CCP is good on refunding isk for character scams.

Sure... I'll just wait... What else can I do ??!
This is just ridiculous. What's that catch phrase for DRM again... ah yes, Defective By Design.
Stop protecting them, don't you think they know how ****ed up this system is... Yes they do, and they keep it.
Anyways... I'll probably just wake up tomorrow with a banned account for speaking my mind so it's all good.

I buy and sell quite regularly here and havnt had any problems to date, but if you get scammed you will get your isk back eventually, the char who was sold to you might have ran out of game time during the transfer and that can cause probs, so just wait and be patient making this thread etc will get you no where fast as the mods alreeady watch whats what and act at a fair speed. complaining might only slow down the process by annoying them, sorry you got scammed btw you beat me to the bid but i dont like seeing anyone scammed.

It's the process that is wrong.
I have also bought and sold Characters before and never had a problem.
When you deal with honest people, you could use any system it wouldn't matter.
But this one is very wrong and also fueling the hacked accounts and out-of-game ISK business.

Also the fact that I don't have any infos...
How hard could it be to code an automatic email response when a transfer doesn't go through ??
Pretty hard it seems.

Well, that's my point exactly... there could be a dozen better ways of doing this.
But no, the current method is waaaay more profitable.

I bumped your thread good idea
I must say ****ing off the GM's gets you nowhere i do understand about you not getting the toon or the isk back give it some time you will get it back. But the GM's make a point of doing it there way in there time so the more you gripe the longer it will take, i know this from experience. Trust me |

Hi, this forum is not for discussion but only for the sale and trade of characters. If you have experienced a scam please be sure to file a petition and the GMs will help you sort it out because Character trade scams are not allowed.
