Well, trusted somebody on www.no-wai.org to get me crafting levels. He did so, and it was all going smoothly, a few hours work for a few mil, i was very generous.

Then he took all the valuable items from my bank, mages book, infinity hat, obby capes, alot of cash, etc.

Pretty horrible, had a really bad day and work and return to find he'd been pking on my account and stole all my items.

Really not cool, just advice to everyone, do not trust no-wai or sythe.

Or anybody you don't know really. You will get fucked.

His name on no-wai was small fry, btw… He was a mod.

Well, no-wai seem to be trying hard. They de-modded and banned him, aswell as refunding me 3m out of their own pockets. Nice people. Shame 1 dick ruined it.

Never let anyone else on your account, duh. I thought that was common sense…

If you wanted crafting levels then write a script….

Didnt want to risk such a good account getting banned, at any cost.

Yea i gotta agree with Bebe it's kinda your own fault for giving him unrestricted access to you account and bank

Then you auto in short time spans and you be smart about it and watch the script….

I mean it is better then losing everything in your account :p

Yeah i guess so. Another day, another lesson learn. A bit more faith lost in humanity.

Edit: wow, talked to him on msn for 30 mins, eventually got him to confess to the whole thing. He then returned all that was stolen and apologised.

Wow. Im still in shock.

Well at least you learned something from all this.

Did he grow you any crafting levels?

I have seen his account and it was really good. At least he didnt get you defence levels? Anyways you will bounce back. Talk to me on msn

Edit: i have been scammed over 120m

He actually returned the stuff? Wow - I'd never expect that if I was scammed.

Anyways, my #1 rule in MMORPGs is to never, ever give out my info to anyone (even close friends - you never know) and so far I've never been scammed. I'd say you're extremely lucky you got all that stuff. I guess people would think that, him being a mod, he'd be very nice to get you crafting levels, but some people can turn to be the worst. Good thing his conscious caught up with him before he went and PKed it all.

hmm…i wouldnt go so far as to say never share acc details… as long as its pre-arranged and you are both mature enough its all good…
me and jens had been doing it for years, and we just started up again a few days ago.

Sorry for the loss and It's excellent that you got ALL of it back, And I was reading the thread on there and he even admitted it. xD

Good luck in the future, And use a script giving somebody access to a good account is Bad… Use a script with Anti-Ban or just talk while it's running. And watch it then play PS2-3 or Xbox {Halo 3 nearly out. :P}

Well I've got training from people at RSR and that all went smooth.

And back in my noob days I used to scam on RS *eternal shame on me* but I'd always guilt trip and give all the stuff back…then I'd hang out with the person on RS o.O

I could've done it, I'd really never do anything bad to this forum and people for all it's done for me, I need to repay it somehow. :).

But eh :). Bad luck mate.

I once had someone train some cb levels for me on TalkGeek. He took all my weapons and armour and spammed so much that I got 22 blackmarks, 2 of which were denied so I was left with 5 blackmarks. When I tried to talk to him on msn, he blasted out with spamming so that I couldn't take screenshots and have him banned. Those 5 blackmarks are part of the reason why my main is permanently banned with no more appeals now.

All sythe, and everything it advertises and everything is a scam.

Even some sythe admin was a scammer, I was selling acc, and when I give pass and name to this sythe admin & MM, oh, no one logs in for like 10 mins, he says hes in lumby, hes not, and then like after 5 min I change pass and name ofcourse, who wouldnt, and then he comes on msn when his scam got interrupted, when I say hes a scammer he starts to "Do you know who I am?" "no?" "Sythe.org Admin!" I care a fuck is someone sythe.org admin..

Part of the reason's why i left sythe. I mean all their bots they use, they are so damn detectable and they don't warn any 1.

I'm happy that you got your stuff back. That's pretty rare..
I've never been scammed for anything worth more then 1k. Guess I've been lucky. Stay on SRL.. The people are good here :]

You trusted someone from a site named 'nowai' ? That right there should have been a major tip off that you were heading into a scam. You seem to be really lucky too. ;)
