Today my account RomiRome has been stolen, I had my e-mail hacked, I really don`t know how this happened. Now, RomiRome said he will only give back the account after I give 8,000 platinum worth of items and I will be contacting support soon. Please do not respond to any messages until further notice, sorry to anyone who has been abused or scammed today.

Regards
Umayr.

LMAO serves ya damn right. Buy a scammers account and he takes it back to scam you. jeeze kid I hate to say it, oh wait no I don't,

Everybody frikking told you so. You deserved that 100% considering it isn't even your account. Neither is umayr or pukus so I hope all your accounts get banned have a nice day

Sorry to hear but like pigman said you've brought this upon yourself and he got the account back because he probably had his email registered. Don't pay him 8000 plat because with that much you could get your own character to 130 or more.

I hate to say this but I sensed something was up with that account recently. Not sure if it was the real 'you' or not but when 'romi' kept heavily insisting that he be in charge of item banks in clan Dubstep, constantly whispering me offers to buy items which were never for sale, openly discussed the buying and selling of multiple accounts, and kept soliciting others for itunes gift apples, the only thing I could think to do was to get out of dodge and avoid being around that account like the plague. Sorry if I ignored the real you but I've seen these situation arise before, some as recent as the past few weeks in other random clans.

The best thing for you to do in this situation is to begin with your own account and create a name that is your own. Don't get involved any further with that guy. I wish you the best of luck moving forward.

Do I get to say I told you so ?

Do I get to say I told you so ?

Please do

I have to agree with Frostine. It has seemed like several different people have been playing on the Romi account lately. One who seems pretty polite and helps with clan, donates, etc and another who is greedy, constantly buying and selling accts, changed clan MSG to his personal sales board, begged and begged for bank access, whines that no on helps him, and pressures clan members into trades. Volunteered me (like Pig, i declined) to be the middleman in a deal where he pressured a low lvl clan mbr into trading weps so he could "try it out" -- told the low lvl that if he didn't agree to the trade, the low lvl was a scammer.
Oh - and who also seemed to be pretty chummy with AngelofPink who was trying to scam Dub members by pretending to be Jamison.

I have been fairly sketched out by the very dramatic shifts and felt like I had no idea who was playing that acct. Goldeghost too but to a lesser degree.

Well he owns goldeghost, umayr, romi, pukus, none of which he created so in all likely hood he is a scammer himself

Interesting that you mentioned goldeghost as being a compromised account. That was actually one of the names I had in the back of my mind as being potentially sketchy but didn't realize they could all be the same person. I encountered that person in my second week of playing on Morrigan, which I avoided because they openly discussed a desire to sell an account. They knew I was new to this world because I told them, and must have thought I would make a good target. One day someone seemingly different in personality was logged into that account claiming to be that persons sister and said that their brother gave her permission to sell the account for gold to equip her own character. They kept asking me to buy an account (even offered me the whole clan) and I promptly pulled out of that clan, which may not even exist anymore but I'm not certain.

I'm sure you are probably on this Keri, but I would warn other Dub members/leaders that 'Romi' is a compromised account. I don't remember if he has general or guardian status still, but there are quite a few legitimate first time players in that clan who could be target prey for this scammer personality. Especially since so many are struggling to get warden gear and looking to invest in quartz items and OW lux...the first big investments that go into a character. My druid is in that clan but I haven't been doing any serious leveling with her lately, so I don't know if everyone has been informed. I did see a mage (can't remember the name) yesterday in Farcrag claiming to be Romi stating that the Romi account was compromised.

A general trend I'm noticing of these scammer personality types is that they level a character to a certain point, usually high enough to get OW access so they seem somewhat committed to the game and powerful. They start a clan and invite people anywhere between lvls 30-60. Look to see who is struggling for gear or who may be willing to buy plat, and try to bait and switch people from there. I've never actually been scammed by someone in a game but I'm usually pretty good at detecting when something seems off about someone. Whoever this scammer is they are rather sloppy because I've actively leveled three different characters this past month, and I've been solicited for items or to buy an account on all three by the same people. If they don't start their own clan and are successful at infiltrating an established large one like Dub, it is usually bad news for the unsuspecting new player looking for someone to trust.

Even if the slate were wiped clean of all these accounts there is nothing to stop someone from creating a new account and scamming someone again. It's always best to know the signs and use caution. I've been on a huge Law & Order kick so my MMO forensic psychology is in high gear.

The part I don't understand is that Pukus was banned by CH, but none of the other chars. Even if they are separate accounts an ip. or device ban should have been in place.
