I'm being scammed

[Sak0]

Hi everyone, I was hoping for my first post here to be something different but unfortunately that's not the case.

Yesterday I received a payment of 700$ for an account of an online videogame that I no longer need. This guy contacted me a few days ago and told me he would pay me 700$ if I gave him my ID and password for this game (a practice widely used among players who want to quit).

So yesterday he sends me the 700$ we agreed upon, and in a conversation on msn I give him my log in ID and password for this game. Well little did I know, a few hours later he reverses the payment and since he changed the password now I don't have access to the virtual item in question anymore.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance

Same thing happen to me the virtual game was World of Warcraft (WoW) I sold it to him and did the exact same thing as he did. Sent to info over MSN and he reveresed the withdraw. Lost $250 USD and my account so right now I am contacting my lawyer. Do you remember his name Because this guy name is Vincent Verdon and Lives in France.

It shows him on here as Thomas Palmer. I can provide his msn contact, but I'm not sure if I am allowed to disclose that information on this forum

Yeah. I don't think that there is anything we can do....Was it a WoW account?

[Sak0]

No, it was for FFXI, I'm working on getting my account back but honestly I don't see it happening

I got a guy from Nigeria who wants me to send him a camera he said he bid on ebay. I never saw his the bid. He asked that I send him my pay pal info. Now a get a message from him showing that he is fro the U.K. He say he is 123joseph. Now he is calling himself Michael Joseph and asking that I ship the camera..

DON'T DO IT! THIS SAME GUY CONTACTED ME ABOUT A CAMCORDER IM SELLING.....EVEN SO FAR AS TO SEND ME A PHONY PAY-PAL PAYMENT CONFIRMATION!!!!! THESE GUYS ARE TRYING TO RIP PEOPLE OFF~! ANOTHER WOMAN BY THE NAME OF SARAH MICHAELS IS DOING THE SAME THING! SHE CLAIMS TO BE A PASTORS WIFE IN NEW YORK BUT WANTS ITEM SHIPPED TO NIGERIA.....SHE PAID, BUT I LEARNED THEY CAN GET MONEY BACK AFTER RECEIVING YOUR ITEM.....SO I CANCELED THE SALE.
