Link to report to CCP
Sellers can post a thread, get you to confirm on the forum prior to sending ISK, confirm they received the ISK and then completely delete and remove the entire post after receiving your ISK and not transfer the character.
Luckily I had the page opened in multiple windows so when I re-checked it today (AEST) and it 404'd in one browser window on refresh, I got screenshots in the other window still opened with the sale thread and also had the URL and topic ID.
I would suggest not buying or selling characters (or at least not transferring ISK to anyone) until this issue has been resolved by CCP.

This crap is eminently traceable - first through chat logs, then through IP logs. Anyone who has been scammed in this way simply needs to step forward IMO and identify the perpetrator. |

<< Stepping forward. Let's catch them and ban them! But in the meantime, time will tell Demolishar; CCP is yet to respond and they have more information from me than I suspect the average punter is ever going to have for their case. |

Ouch, that is a major exploit if they can turn any sale thread into a 404' error after receiving ISK!
Everyone purchasing characters is at risk across the whole Character Bazaar.
I hope CCP looks at this soon. |

CCP will have that fixed soon I'm sure. They take character sale scams very seriously and the bad guys actually do pay in the end, and rather quickly.
I was scammed once and it was resolved in like 4 hours which is lightning speed for ccp. |

No probs. I have more in the way of screenshots, logs, etc, if you need any of it let me know. They messed with the wrong guy. haha
Also, I just found another separate forum thread where they were trying to sell it to others simultaneously too (even though they told me it was private sale, which we still confirmed on forums). That's another person who has sent ISK for the char purchase in the last day for yet a different amount (total is at three so far for total of 30bil, 9+10+11). Apparently they too have had the same problem of no char transferred, strange that...

Keep the evidence to yourself for now. If a GM asks you for more details simply provide them with everything you found out. ;-)

If you go through eveboard and look at there threads that Badkitty has made, your sale thread is still there. Along with another thread also selling the same char. Hope that helps. All Hail Chribba Edit, infact you can see the thread by searching the character on eve gate. |

Hacking the forums, sounds more like editing a post in such a way that it becomes invalid somehow.
Shame eve-search picks up most of those threads before they are edited into something invalid (shame for the abuser I mean haha, pretty win for everyone else).

Fascinating. Thanks for the heads up - and good on you for doing everything you could to make it known.
Removing the page is quite an exploit indeed. Good on ya Chribba for indexing copies!
I've always wondered how CCP recovers the ISK from people who do Character scams. Naturally you assume they just reverse the funds but what if the funds are already gone by the time CCP intervenes? It's not like they're going to send the funds directly to their alts - although then again, tards gon tard.
What stops the scammer from putting it straight into Somer Blink and bidding it against their alts on some Rorqs? Win or lose, some money will be moved over to their alt and all within a matter of minutes.
Whoever did it, I hope they enjoy life without EVE because the ban stick is probably perma on all their accounts for this sort of infringement!

Thanks for your support guys :)
Quote:Greetings, I am GM Cid
Thank you for contacting Customer Support. I am sorry to hear about your issue. The account the character in question was on, had been compromised and therefore the character sale will not be taking place. The ISK has been returned to your character. Can I assist you in any other way?
Best regards, GM Cid EVE Online Customer Support Team
I hope to see the those responsible punished too. |

Hi there,
The problem that you are encountering is when a thread gets moved from this section to our hidden 'Moderation' section. As this thread is not able to be viewed with your forum permissions it will be displayed as a 404.
Hope this clears up the issue for you. CCP Navigator -Community Manager |

Great, thanks for clarifying this. Does that mean it was a CCP move? I will update the topic header info, etc, to put peoples mind at ease. |
