Scammer story.

[mirak_naijmi]

About a 5 days ago i talked to a guy know as Fullpower on IRC wanting to trade my rr6L6 sb acc for any hib acc. He had a hib/excalibur acc with 50 champ, 50 drood 41 ranger and 44 bard for trade which interested me very much. So we traded, i tried his acc he tried mine both where satisfied.

First thing i did was change the game pass, same day game pass was changed by an email that i will not give out in public. So someone was using my new acc exept me. Fullpower, diamonit, also known as "lol" at this forum was the scammer. Anyway, today i was sure it was a total scam cause of info from daoc.trade users who knew about exactly this acc. I emptyed both the traded acc and the acc traded for of items to friends and BB accs to make sure he didnt get anything out of it. If he tries to make the accs usefull again i will empty it of items once again and also delete the characters.

Anyway, for me things have solved i got a knew acc for the EQ and old mid bb and traded it for a perfectly safe acc on hib exc so im home safe. But i want to warn you of this guy and also make an example of how safe it is to scam people. Tbh, trading is NEVER safe, go on doing it but dont be suprised if you get scammed althou there is always ways to scam back even harder on the people scamming you.

If you want names/emails/tips about this or similar happenings email me on nilsosterling@hotmail.com with a good explanation why i should give you the info.

[Urme the Legend]

Sad to hear about that etc.. but as you said yourself.. never safe to trade accounts.. and it's against CoC !

 

[herjulf]

Yeah.... SINNER REPENT or thou shall be quenched.

 

[Aussie-]

I wouldn't even care if you lost every single copper and item.
If i'd be GOA employe i would try to scam as many ppl as possible . it's not allowed don't whine if you get fucked.

 

[fl3a]

complaining about this is pretty much the same as a gangster going to the police telling that his gun was stolen...

good thing you made the name of the scammer's name know thou

 

[Lumikki]

That's bound to happen when trading accounts :/

xx

 

[zmurf]

it could have turned out alot worse mirak, atleast u ended out with something ... blabla CoC as ppl say, no need to point this out as mirak clearly know's it was his own fault in a way, so pointless stating it again ...

[freeco]

A friend of mine bought an Excal/Hib account a few months ago, the guy was a scammer and ran away with the money. My friend called the cops and suit his @$$. Should be due in court really soon (if they dont come to an agreement), smart guy to scam someone for 1500sek haha

Mintramax is leaving Mid/Ex for good, joining the ranks of the steamrolling gaytrain What a traitor(du borde hissas upp i en flaggstång och piskas med salt sill).

Perhaps this will teach you why the CoC bans ppl who trade, because theres too many aholes out there who will scam, and too many whingers to be scammed.

Tough sh*t.

Code of Conduct - Dark Age of Camelot



Last update: February 2003

Our aim is to provide the best possible playing experience for Dark Age of Camelot, both in the game and on the official European site. To achieve this, everybody wishing to benefit from this service should respect this Charter of Good Conduct.



Legality

No illegal activity is permitted within the Dark Age of Camelot, on its site or more generally in the environment connected with the game. The encouragement of such activities or the supply of means by which such activities could be practised will not be tolerated.

It is forbidden to supply the means of access to software of an illegal and/or harmful nature (such as viruses or hacking/pirating programs).

Links connecting to websites which do not respect this Charter are liable to be removed, as are links to websites of which the contents are judged to be inappropriate by members of the GOA team. Furthermore, we offer our members the possibility of publishing content (mainly texts and pictures). However, we reserve the right to delete any elements of such content that do not respect this Charter if they are judged to be inappropriate by our team.

Under no circumstances can GOA be held responsible for the contents published on the site by its users.



Responsibility

All users are responsible for their own actions in the game and on the site, and for any comments that they make there. Furthermore, GOA cannot be held responsible for any lack of protection on a user's computer.

Content published by users is their sole responsibility.

We reserve the right to remove any content published by users, without issuing prior warning to the user concerned.

Under no circumstances can GOA be held responsible for users' actions.

The user must be positioned at his or her screen whenever his or her character performs an action that normally requires human intervention (activating a macro, issuing a command, pressing a button, etc.).

When you receive advice, the choice of following such advice is your responsibility. Remember that users giving you advice may come from very different backgrounds and have very varied levels of experience (although they may not be aware of this).



Contributing to respect for the Charter

Help us to make the site and the game a place of conviviality and community. You can do this by respecting the Charter and encouraging others to respect it.

If you meet users who do not seem to have understood the Charter, politely invite them to read it.



Rules of good conduct

Users are expected to show respect for one another, to contribute to the cordial atmosphere of the game. Harassment of another person, insults or remarks intended to hurt another person will not be tolerated.

Of course, we expect our members to express themselves using correct language. Similarly, racist, xenophobic or revisionist remarks, or remarks displaying intolerance of a religious, ideological, philosophical or similar nature will not be accepted.

"Flooding" (the rapid systematic repetition of one phrase, which interferes with communication between users) is forbidden, as is all abuse of the means of communication that can be accessed on the site.

It is forbidden to pretend to be a volunteer, a Gamemaster or a member of the GOA team.

It is forbidden to indulge in hacking (pirating) activities and to encourage others to indulge in them. It is also forbidden to distribute software enabling such activities to be practised, or viruses and other programs or scripts that may harm other users.

The role of volunteers is to help other players (often sacrificing some of their own playing time in the process). We will react particularly strongly to any persecution of or threats made to volunteers, as we will to any such behaviour directed at GOA and the people working for it.

Players undertake not to make use of any bugs, nor to use any undocumented functions, nor to exploit any possible design faults. Players also undertake to notify GOA personnel of the presence of any bugs, undocumented functions or design faults that they may discover as soon as possible.

GOA accommodates servers in three different languages (English, French and German). You can connect to a server using a foreign language, but if you communicate on the main channels, please use the language of the server.



Names of characters and guilds

Although character names in keeping with the age and kingdom in which they are to develop are welcome, players are free to give their characters whatever names and nicknames they wish, as long as they respect the following rules. Please note that these rules also apply to guild names and surnames.

- No names with insulting, degrading or racist connotations.

- Names must consist solely of alphanumeric characters.

- No religious, sexual or political references.

- No brand names, product names, character names or any other elements subject to copyright.

- No inciting of illegal conduct.

- No references that degrade other players' characters or GOA personnel.

- No titles of nobility or prestige. Some of these can be acquired on the Camelot battlefields.

- The names of legendary people from the three kingdoms are tolerated, but please bear in mind that developments in the game may bring these names into question.

- No names that could suggest that the character may belong to the GOA team or have the status of Volunteer or Gamemaster.

- No names of towns, regions or characters in the game. If necessary, however, guild names may make reference to such places or characters.

- All these bans also apply to combinations, homonyms and alternative spellings of such names as are disallowed by this Charter.

GOA reserves the right to implement penalties imposed on players whose character names impair the community spirit of the game.

The role of volunteers

First and foremost, it is important to remember that volunteers are above all players. They have chosen voluntarily to become more involved in the game and have received the approval of GOA. They are not subject to any form of constraint and are entirely free to play without the obligation of carrying out volunteers' duties.

They must therefore respect this Charter without enjoying any specific privileges over other players.

For safety reasons, GOA will limit the number of volunteers and ensure that these roles are not entrusted to people seeking to spoil the atmosphere of the game.

It is possible that volunteers may be entrusted with specific abilities to enable them to help other players and maintain the good atmosphere of the game.

Volunteers may play the role of a particular character assigned by a Gamemaster (GM) for a given period of time. For each NPC, there is a specific NPC sheet that is given to the volunteer. This sheet details the character's personality and limitations, and his or her role in the different frameworks written by GOA. Any volunteer who does not respect the aforementioned limitations will be divested of the NPC role, in order to avoid any problems relating to the storylines and events written by the GOA teams.

Gamemasters will never give volunteers NPCs who may be liable to kill other players, even during the struggle between kingdoms, or NPCs possessing a craft score. These two aspects of characters will remain the privileged domain of the players.

In the event of technical problems, volunteers (particularly moderators) or GOA technical assistants may be required to give advice to users. We would draw your attention to the fact that both of these parties can only give you advice, and not the one and only solution. It is up to you to follow this advice if you judge it to be appropriate. Any modification that you make to your computer system remains your sole responsibility.

GOA reserves the right to suspend or withdraw a volunteer's privileges at any time. We consider this to be the best way to protect the user community from potential abuse of these privileges and to prevent any such abuse. Moreover, the abuse of these privileges may result in the termination of the account involved, as may any other violation of this Charter.

Any player is free to adopt the role of "advisor" during the game, via the "/advisor" command. He or she can then receive requests for assistance from the other players and user his or her experience to help them. As with all other elements of the game, abuse of this status with a view to spoiling the atmosphere of the game may result in the imposition of penalties.

Property and publicity

A DAoC account is personal and individual. You cannot open an account in the name of a company, an association or any other legal entity without express prior written consent from GOA. You are also not entitled to give, sell, lease, lend or exchange your account under any circumstances. No virtual object, character or currency in the game may be the object of a pecuniary transaction, under any form or circumstances. Any activity of this kind may result in the application of various sanctions, including termination of the account.



GOA provides you with a large number of spaces for expressing yourself. It is forbidden to use these spaces for commercial or advertising purposes.



Penalties

GOA reserves the right (at any time and without prior notice) to reduce access to or block an account temporarily or definitively if the user has not respected this Charter, has encouraged another user not to respect the Charter or has caused harm to the user community.

Characters whose names do not respect this Charter may be renamed by GOA. This does not exclude the imposition of other sanctions concerning this particular violation of the Charter.



Advice to users

We strongly advise you never to give personal information that could be used to identify you (social security number, telephone number, home address, etc.) to anyone you do not know.

GOA reserves the right to modify this Charter at any time and without prior notice. By accepting this Charter, you also accept the changes that may be made to it. We advise you to come and consult the Charter regularly to see if changes have been made, as it is frequently revised with the aim of encouraging convivial behaviour on the site.

Just sad GOA don't follow this completely to the point

 

[mirak_naijmi]

I am somewhat suprised of people reactions here. Ban my accs that is useless? Aouch you got me

 

[Driwen]

[mirak_naijmi]

Thx for informing im an stasi informant. now go fuck yourself.
It's noones business if everything go right, and all are happy afterwards, but if the guy you are trading with don't care shit about you, your oppinion and the community playing this game he should be left alone to quit this game of boredom.

Well mistur stazi informant, I didn't quite get what you tried to say, guess it has to do with degeneration of your vital brain parts.

Ofc people scamming others should go to hell, but the people more or less saying "serve you right for trading an account, I will report this to GOA to ban all your other accounts" are of of the same magnitued of evilmindedness - stazi is gone, go away you too.

 

[mirak_naijmi]

People pease! I didnt do this to make people go mad. The hib acc is banned the mid acc is not(Dont ask me why just one is banned).

Anyway, im drunk listening to David Bowie - Changes and i got a safe acc you wont be able do a shite about This post was just a warning about this acc and im sure alot of people out there thanks me cause its an attractive acc and most people would trade right away for it.

 

[Blazor Meneth]

Mirak, trying to warn ppl about something on BW and expecting them to listen to the warning ? :doh:

Your smooking some "grass" on hib or something ?

 

[Driwen]

I wont report anything as I dont care wether anyone trades or not except when it is a friend of mine/guildy then I would like to be slightly informed about it (friend where he is going to to keep in touch, guildy so I know its a different person playing).
However its not like you are immune now from goa, goa will most likely not do anything against you, but they could probably track you down by ip/creditcard/email addy. Anyway tnx for pointing people out thise scammer and pointing again out to people that trading is never truly safe .

 

[mirak_naijmi]

Infact, according to GoAs own policy they wont trace people via IP, email or whatever. So if they do that they braking their own rules and then il send them a request to ban themselves!
