well don't buy pvp carries =) problem solved? we can close this thread now
Am very happy to provide the screenshots and logs. Am also happy to provide things like the guys main name, rl photo and rl name who is doing the scamming - no way I could know all that if he didnt scam me.
Real money? Your own fault for breaking Blizz's Tos.
Ingame money? Report.
Blizz will ban his multi-glad account if I report? If so I would be more than happy to have my account banned.

I am also in process of dealing with courts re fraud. I have managed to get permissions to pursue the matter out of duristiction so far due to geographic differences.
I remember a girl coming to me back in the day trying to buy a gladiator title, but she ended up getting it from another gladiator on the server by writing him a 30+ page paper for university. No cash involved.
Fun times.
"I'm not stuck in the trench, I'm maintaining my rating."
I actually don't care if that happens - it was not even a primary account that it was on for me. It was not bnet connected. I would merrily sacrifice that account and provide all logs to Bliz,plus paypal logs, screenshots, skype logs. His RL details obtained via skype, paypal and then follow up web searches.
The guy irks me as he has apparently scammed a few people like this.

I also have logs / screenshots of his discussing how he and one of the main RBG team leaders work together to sell RBG carries for RL cash, and how often they get customers. The RG leader is named in the logs / screenshots. Another member of that RBG team is in the conversation coroborating the story. Both on their main toons. Both hold Glad and Hero.

That RBG leader is a well known streamer.
.. and complaining on an mmo forum will bring you what?
if you are so sure, put it on Blizz forum and report him.
LOL Bailamos and data.. that was hard to figure out.
No. It is definitely NOT Bailamos. I have played against him many times and while he is right into cheap tactics I would never lay this at his feet. He did not do this, and is in no way involved.
I know the scene quite well and there are VERY few resto druids running around in the RBG scene that are Glads and on Tich (my old server). So Data is the main guy you are talking about and he would pull something like you are saying in the OP off without question. Even though the RBG leader really doesnt matter in this case it must be abn then. He is the other main guy that sells RBG carries.
Whats the point of buying one of these carries anyways, are people really stupid enough to pay $200 to $300 or even more just for the gladiator title?
Can't say i feel bad for the victim. Stupidity should be punished not rewarded, in fact im glad it happened.
Probably not very wise, and a mistake in hindsight yes. Hindsight is a lot better, it always is.
That being said, making a mistake like that is one thing. The people selling them are making a mistake too. Both are doing the wrong thing - I admit and can see that with hindsight.
That said, knowingly selling them with no intention to follow through and just taking the cash then ignoring the person you sold it to... is something else. There is another Glad who sells them as well (not the ones mentioned above) who discussed this with me and said it is not the first time this guy has pulled stunts. Yes I have those logs too - and yes in them he discusses how he sells them too.
"clean hands doctrine" anyone?
