Default Requesting Help from GMs and Veteran Players to Track down Scammer: Mythoxxus/Napkin

This is going to be a rather long post, so please bear with me.

I have been on this server since May of 2011. In this time, I have cultivated mostly positive images of the community, as the vast majority of the members are helpful and friendly.

This is why when there are terrible people who ruin other people's game experiences, I'm inclined to point this out. Bettering the community for everyone to enjoy.

For this reason I am requesting that the community work together to figure out who this particular douchebag is so that we all know to avoid him.

This person is the same person who purchased Mythoxxus from me a while back. They hid under a veil of secrecy and refused to communicate with any main accounts or forum accounts, instead using only mules. For this reason, I do not have enough knowledge to be able to pinpoint who he actually is.

This individual scammed an account from me that I paid 1.5 million for. I am certain that he is the one responsible as he: a) was the only one who had enough information to steal the account, and b) read and ignored all the PMs I sent to his forum account.

Here is ALL of the information I have on this person. If you have any more, please help me find him.

- Owns the characters: Mythoxxus, Napkin, Borachai. <- ALL PURCHASED ACCS
- Has been playing since the early days of the server
- Last known guild: Flawless Victory (has connections with the known RMT-er Knightt)
- Was inspected by Sirken recently due to the connections with Knightt and found to be the "richest person on the server" (according to him anyway...)
- When I met him, had THREE pre-nerf fungi staves, a bag full of manastones and other extremely high end gear
- Has a baby
- Binds all of his characters on his "spot" in EC, which is the line on the ground in between T1 and Entrance.
- Recently offered 2 million PP for the purchase of the ranger epic MQ (VS and Inny piece) to someone in FE as well as TMO.
- FORUM NAME: hellowelfare678. Probably no longer going to be using this forum account as he has been revealed, but there it is.
- Was on the account Stabbyjoe at one point or another. Not 100% confirmed if that is his account or one that he was using, but GMs will probably investigate soon!

Obviously the GMs would be able to know who this person is immediately, and if they were willing to spend the time I would love to help with everything I can do.

Please assist me in this, lets reveal douchebags for who they are!

EDIT: GMs moved in record time, this guy is banned and gone forever!

I'm curious why you left most of the details of the "Scam" out. :/

Well I mostly left it out cause it was kind of stupid on my part...

I gave him the login server info because he was planning on buying an epic MQ for the ranger. He used that information to extrapolate the equ emu info and change all the information around.

Never trust anyone on the internet...

Why people will pull this on someone in a classic emulation of a 14 year old game is beyond me. Some folks just fail at life, period.

Norden is a great guy and I think most people on the server would attest to that. To see this happen to such an integral part of my guild and this server makes me really sad, he really didn't deserve this crap.

It appears that, although the scammer had norden's login password to log on temporarily, he didn't have the main eqemu password. the eqemu password was different than the login pass, and the scammer obtained basically out of brute force password cracking.

So the account was more hacked in a sense, as all of the eqemu info and the email were changed even though the scammer was not given the eqemu password to do so.

Ugh man, I'm sorry to hear about this. I'm good friends with deuces and was impressed with how much you actually paid for the sergon account. I'm still confused as to why you gave him the login info? From the sounds of your posts, I interpreted it as he was going to buy the epic mq for your ranger? why do that? Also, after buying/selling countless accounts over the years, how in the world did he get the eqemu info from the login? Unless, of course, you had the eqemu info the same as the login... Just curious, not blaming the victim. Again, sorry this happened to ya man, you seem like a real stand-up guy in the community. Few and far between.
