last scam they tried on ME was..

I read thru the scams here and did not see this one. Guy wispers you and acts like he knows you "usually uses a name like jeff or bob or some name that most people know" or they may be talking to you in game. Remember when you are in a game with a friend trading or chatting in the chat rooms others may be watching and will try to use your info against you. "they will try to build your trust a little by giving you items and stuff"
But they will always ALWAYS want somethign from you.
Usually they will ask for an item you are wearing my ith swords wer a common one before .10 . And they usually are just wanting to "barrow" the item for MF run or some BS like that.

I have had some people that it took me a few mins to figure out that they wer really scammers and not my friends. Thankfully im pretty cautious and never fall for this stuff.
But I have seen this scamm work on others, and yes I know it sounds weak and it is but hey it works for some people.:shoot

Am i readin this right you scammed your friend? :shoot Well I guess if you hated him its cool. Remind me not to get on your bad side..
I make free games to, every once in a while when I'm cleaning house and sometimes I may drop some stuff that is worth something like chancies, frosties or a decent sword but I find most of the free games I have ever entered wer crappy. Although I did get a free jallas and a free hellslayer in one :D

A really pathetic one that i saw 4 minutes into the 1.10 patch, what this.
Hey, look, new feature of the 1.10 patch, ******* see, you can't type your password, try it.
*BEEP*, wrong. Don't fall for it, like dice5_5 said, NEVER EVER EVER typ your real password in a public channel or game, or with friend that you dont know in real life that you can beat their a** if they take your stuff :D. But feel free to take an old acct with lvled up chars with no items on (make sure that acct has a different password from all your others), and then go back the next day to see if they use it as a mule.

upinya, i have pulled that scam MANY times, MANY times, but, i only do it to ppl that have betrayed me in any way or form, are being TOTALL a**holes in games, scamming me, or scamming others. I create a new acct and msg em and say, HEY, WHAT'S UP, how long has it been? 4, 5 months? it's me, josh, if you remember. My mom made me quit and now i moved out, what's up how ya been? can i get an xfer quick?, lol, it's so satisfying scamming all the ppl that are bad on B.net, they all deserved it, and i got rich too. It's wrong, but i' ma math wiz, and -a + -a = +a, therefore, by scientific law, a negative plus a negative make s apositive, hahaha.

Also don't believe the "Join My Clan Scam".
They tell you to downsize the game, them download some rules off the net. Which turns out to be a drop hack.

Not all drops are fake. Case in point, when the ladder reset, I got rid of everything on characters i didnt like. I dropped 3 CTA, 2 Enigma, COH and a bunch of uniques for free. I do this everytime the ladder resets. I dont use non ladder characters so what do I care. I make a game after the reset sayin "GODLY 4 U" and drop everything. So if you ever see this game on nonladder after a reset its probably me.

I am only in USEast and when the ladder resets, 12midnight est I will be giving away all my stuff, at the moment I have 4 accounts of characters with 2 accounts of mules. 4 of the mule characters are just godly runewords, and really good gear. It's really funny seeing a lvl 1 character newbie go nuts creating characters to hold all the items i drop. then slowly everyone comes in and is amazed by the fact that its not duped, bugged or hacked :bugeyes :shocked . Last ladder reset their was a lvl 3 character who had CtA, HotO, DOOM, 2 enigmas, full trang, full tal, full ik, BotD, corpsemourne, a ton of runes and more. He was scrambling to make new characters to carry everything. then someone else joins and says if all the stuff on the ground is any good.lol.

Turok if your on USEast look me up XxSworn_EnemyxX I could hook ya up if your poor.

Get your acct back

Is your acct still registered to the same email address or did he take your email address too? ( :rofl2 if he did) if not just do the following IN order.
1)Go to account settings and press "I forgotmy password" or something like that(its in themiddle)
2) Typein the acct name and your email address that you registered it to.
3) go onto that email address and within a few mins you'll have something from blizzard and the titlewill be password recovery, Respond to that email saying how it got stolen and everything. Tell them you want a new password
4)Theywill send you a randomized password,copy and paste it.
5) go back to d2,click account settings again but click change password.
6)Type in the acctname and paste the randomized password and make a new one, (different from when you got scammed)
7)Since the scammer has seen you don't know how to get your password back. You will be amazed of what mule stuff theyhave on their.
8)If they did steal your email address,your screwed.


If any mods are reading this, my brother is a moderator on the edge of nowhere, and he makes fun of me for not being a mod,so i would be glad to be a moderator on this site. :baby
