Default Warning: DO NOT TRADE WITH MY EGS ACCOUNT (COMPROMISED)

I checked my email just now (I've been at class since 12pm) and there was a notification that my password had been reset at 2:40pm on EGS. There has also been activity on my account suggesting that someone has been on it.

I tried to reset my pw by inputting my email and it tells me that it doesn't exist in the database anymore, meaning that the person eventually changed it.

This is just a warning to everyone so that they DO NOT PM ME ON EGS, THAT IS NOT ME. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING RMT RELATED IN A VERY LONG TIME AND I HAVE ALMOST NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING. IF I PM YOU TO BUY ANYTHING ON EGS, IT IS A SCAM.

I will notify everyone when I manage to recover it. In the meantime, if you see any posts or threads by me, warn the people. Thanks.

I can ban your eGS account but that would most likely prevent you from trying to recover your password etc.

Was this you that was involved in this transaction on 1-12-12, MMORPG Account Marketplace?

If that is the excalibur account, then yes. I had only gotten it compromised today. I'm going to keep trying to recover it at the moment and see what I can do. In the event that you DO ban me, are you able to unban me? Or am I looking to wait like seven years for Monarch to get off of his ass?

Any suspicious IP addresses or what's the email on account now?

Thank goodness you were able to notify us. It looks like the scammer is hacking dormant accounts. I believe this is the first ASP target.

Also shouldn't this be posted on EGS? There's no way to tell if the compromised Arvin_G account is in the middle of a transaction with someone else right now.

If you have the option to unban him, a possible solution is to just leave the account banned until ArvinG has time to work on it.

Current E-Mail on the account is Drax979@gmail.com

This is the only suspicious IP. All the others show up in Canada where as this one is in IL, US.... 99.24.235.230

Oh ok.

So either Justin Washington is being framed or he's in on it.

I honestly would not be surprised if Justin Washington managed to hack me some how. I'm pretty sure he's tried to scam me like 84208142084210 times, I'm gonna keep trying to recover it for a little bit more and also message him to see if he's responsible and hope I get a truthful response out of him.

I just tried to purchase an account from Arvin G on EGS without reading this. This was just brought to my attention. It was for a mithra with yagrush we paid 300 dollars to a Justin Washington in Las Vegas Nevada and even have his phone number if you guys need it.
