I bought a Clash of Clans account from desk458 on May 6, 2015 for $40 directly through Paypal. It was a TH8 account with the name jdsanity.

Link to sale thread - WTS - BRONZE SELLER! SELLING CHEAP TH8 | PlayerUp - Video Game Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform.

The transaction was smooth and seller delivered account details immediately. I changed the gmail security information (password, recovery account, phone number, set 2-step verification to my phone).

Yesterday, May 12th I received an email from Google that the recovery email for that account had changed. I became instantly worried. I tried to recover the email but it was too late. Someone had changed the recovery email and the phone number tied to the email account. I did not know that was possible since I took the steps of changing all of that info when I first bought the account. I was obviously wrong.

Whoever took over the email account logged into the coc - jdsanity account and posted this in our clan chat, "scam pa more junxia". I'm not sure what that means but the jdsanity account was kicked from the clan.

I contacted the seller through kik and told him what happened. Initially, he seemed worried but it became obvious to me that he recalled the account.

The jdsanity account is now back with the same clan it was in when I purchased it on May 6th and is a co-leader. This leads me to believe that the seller, who had control of the account when purchased, took back the account.

Here are screenshots of our conversations:

Here's a screenshot of the email account that was taken back. I changed every security setting on May 6th but he was still able to recover it through Google.

 

@Admin Please help. He still has another listing up and will scam again.

 

What else could you have done to secure the gmail account ?

 

Nothing that I am aware of. That is the frustrating part. If the original owner of the gmail account claims they were # and can answer 'when did you originally create the account' correctly, they can recover the gmail account.

 

I want my money back.

 

@Admin Can you provide any assistance with this dispute? The seller is verified, bronze and has scammed me. Through chat, he has admitted he now has control of the account he sold me.

 

At this point, I'd would accept my money back or the account. Right now he has both.

 

@Admin Desk458 has posted he would refund my money but has not done so. He still logs on to this site frequently. Desk458 is a verified bronze seller that has scammed me. He admitted to me via k i k that he has control of the th8 account that he sold to me. Desk458 offered me either the account or my money back. I asked for my money back and he said he would refund me in '2 or 3 days' after 'loading his paypal' account. That was on 5/14.

Can you assist in any way?

 

@maniachat77

The only thing what admin best can do is ban desk458 because this deal is outside PlayerUP
Did you send trough paypal call paypal and let now what happend and ask your money back

Always pay the middleman link!

( But if i look at Desk458 feedback i see -3 and +3 not really a good seller 25% rate )

 

Yes, going through MM for sure. At a minimum, I would like to see desk458 banned to prevent him from scamming others on this site. Why hasn't that happened?

 

@Admin is busy with other disputes

But you need to give desk 48 or 72 hours te respond otherwise it's a ban

Check this out. Seems like that is the owner of the gmail.

 

Another buyer posted a dispute against desk458 for a recalled account. Why isn't he banned yet?

 

Just wanted to mention that there are legitimate Philippine sellers out there.

For example, I had a transaction with joshua772 from the Philippines and it's been about a month, and no problems ( I did, however buy insurance, since he was a new seller )

I hope people will not think all Philippine sellers are scammers because of what happened here. There are a lot of good people there.

 

@desk458 enough time has been given to you to resolve this so we have suspended your account and taken down all your listings. Once this is resolved, we can restore access to your account.

 

How much did you lose from @desk458

@desk458 we need a response from you within 48 hours. Would hate to have to release your details publically but we have to assist members who have been frauded by doing everything we can. Please update this ticket.
