well here is the message that i recieved from jenna and I must say. I dont deal with this stuff. Shortie since you have chosen to be a theif As you Patron I will say GOODBYE.


First I must apologize for bringing this to you, however due to the nature of this matter I felt it was better to inform you of this situation.

A little over a week ago now I sold 240 singularity keys via Ebay to a member of Gullum. His ingame name is Vapors who I believe goes as Shortie here. A few hours after the keys had been delivered Vapors reported to paypal that his account had been compromised and requested all recent transactions be reversed. Paypal did exactly that so I found myself down 240 keys. I waited for Paypal to sort this matter out but they found in favour of Vapors and honoured the reversal.

I then waited to contact Vapors ingame, speaking once very briefly to his patron Robouta when I could not contact him. I finally found Vapors ingame and asked him why he reversed the payment and if I could expect my keys to be returned. I was totally ignored until I commented that I would contact his patron/monarch to see what they thought of the situation. (I have not seen either again IG unfortunately) After that he commented on my general lack of knowledge and then logged out.

Now, a friend of mine in RL was also scammed by this person, losing more than me in exactly the same circumstances. My friend delivered the keys to Vapors using Tradebots fixed trade function. His monarch made contact with the owner of the Vapors account and was informed that a 'friend' of Vapors had commited this fraud and used the Vapors account to make the pickup of the keys. Vapors then apparently dual logged to his 'friends' account to return the keys. He found only 1 keyring with 24 keys and promptly returned them to my RL friend via his bot. The interesting thing about this was that he knew exactly which bot to return the keys to without having been told. This leads me to believe that Vapors and his 'friend' are one in the same.

This 'friend' then apparently used the keys to purchase a villa.

I feel you should know about this persons actions and the kind of person you have in your monarchy. If you have any questions regarding what happened please don't hesitate to contact me. My ingame name is Jenna Moonblade. I also have screenshots of all conversations with Vapors including initial delivery of the keys.

Thankyou
Jenna

P.S. I tried to send this to Gullum also but he has exceeded the maximum number of messages in his private inbox.




I am releaseing Vapors from Robouta and I am squelching me also

second message

I have just spoken to Vapors ingame again, he informed me that he tried his best to recover items for us but their was only 1 ring on his friends account and he gave that to my fellow victim. I then asked if he was willing to sign an affidavit to the effect that his friend was the one who commited the fraud. He agreed but then stated that we could not prove anything so it wouldn't help. He then logged yet again.

I have screens of this conversation also.

Thanks
Jenna


Shortie This is discusting. I am ashamed to call you my friend. I know that on paypal you are the only one that can reverse charges. I had it happen in another game. I dont like this but I am sorry I am no longer you patron.

Not your fault Myrva.  We were all duped. He made the decisions and is totally responsible for his actions.

He will have fun trying to find a new home/guild. And I'm sure he'll have fun trying to get into fellows and help with corpse recoveries.

So Myrva, my advice is hold your head high, and keep being silly. He's NO reflection on you.

Man, I hate this sh**! I hate it for Myrva, I hate it for the peeps that got scammed and I hate that it might reflect on our monarchy.
AND it is in no way your fault, silly Myrva! You are somewhat of a victim in this also. How could you or anyone know he would "go bad"? So don't apologize for being his patron; we will all possibly have to apologize for having him in our clan but we all know you or we are in no way responsible. It is a built in danger with the patron/vassel/allegiance system. As soon as he was revealed you cut him loose; thats all anyone could do and more than some we have known and/or heard of.
This is one more reason I have never went the vassel route. I got scammed out of some armor early on a coupla times early in my AC career and decided I could live without 'em. And I have! I may not be lvl 100+ as I might have been but my headache level is not as high either!
Shortie, I didn't know you very long ( too long I guess now) but I have a question: so the going rate for your ethics and reputation was, what?, 240 singularity keys? Was a villa that important to you? My, my! You is a cheap Ho!
Sooo, Don't let the door hit you in the butt, Shortie!

What is this crap. I did my best to help these people and I am sorry if i logged so i could go to work. Myrva this disgusts me. I don't want to be friends with anyone that won't even trust me. Known you all for 3+ years and have never done ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!!!!! NOR WOULD I EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My rl friend had access to my account and used my character to accept the delivery of the sings. I only logged to go to work and in the screens unless he didnt take a screen of that part. I said I would talk to him later because I had to go to work. I don't care, if you all don't believe me after being friends for so long... i really don't want to be friends if this is the case.

I have never done anything but help people and the SECOND ANYTHING related to me comes up I automatically get hated. This is bull. I'm sorry, but I did not scam anyone... and I do not want back in this monarchy if this is the way friends get treated after not even hearing my side of the story.

Shortie,
If what you say proves true I will be the first to post on this board my deepest apologies. As it stands now, the preponderance of evidence is against you. Personally, I hope I have to honor that promise of an apology.

What evidence?!?!?! I haven't even been online in the past week. I have been too busy working. I log on to find all this sh*t happening and spend about 10 minutes trying to straighten stuff out before I have to go to work. I am sorry if me having to go to work/real life is more important to me than a game. I have explained what happened, whether you choose to believe me or not doesn't even matter to me anymore. Was fun while it lasted. Myrva i still wubs yah... silly one. I think it is sad that you all turn on me though, but afterall it is just a game and I will have no problems getting over it hehe. Although, I will miss the great friends I had here.

Shortie,

I will be the first before Korgan, But i want PRoof, A: proof that they get things back in value of the sings, b: proof from you RL friend that he did this and a PUBLIC VERY PUBLIC apoligy to shaming this monarchy and myself ..... at the very least.

I am upset about this because i have known you for 3+ years. but If i had a RL friend that took my name and used it like he has used yours I would see about changing that. Personally I am personally hurt more then anything. This has hurt not just me and our friendship but it has also hurt this monarchy. No matter the result. I would like to see this resolved. You know how to find me.

here's my two cents on this, and it may not matter since I'm not in this alleg and most here don't know me but here it is,

The initial spark of this crap was Ebay and as far as I am concerned, Ebay and AC should not go together for anything period.

If there were no dealings on ebay about AC, then there wouldn't be this mess, but people feel the need to pimp out RL money for items in a computer generated game.

This isn't a flame towards you Shortie, it's just a message to all about what I have seen and know. There are a ton more things then just this case going on with ebay and AC which severly degrades the system.

Shortie,

So you gave your RL friend access to your PAYPAL account? And he reversed all the transactions???

Wow, I don't trust ANYONE with my paypal account.

I also will issue a formal apology here, and on VN boards if you prove your innocence.

So, who's the owner of the new villa? Your account or your friends?

Ok, first let me apologize again for bringing this here but again I felt I had little recourse. I must also state that I would not have bought this here before continuing conversations with shortie, but my hotheaded friend who also had this happen to him posted a thief alert on VN about it. (against my wishes) So my hand was forced and I had to post.

I must also apologize to Shortie for the blindside, I did try and inform you that I had contacted your patron regarding this matter but you logged before it got to you.

Here are all the screenshots that I have of what has taken place. I will receive more from the various others involved and post them here also. The only alterations in these shots have been cropping and a general reduction in file size. (due to the fact that i'm on 56k)

This is me delivering the keys to the Vapors character -

http://mugca.cc.monash.edu.au/~gjbar2/paypal/initialsale.jpg

This is the first contact I had with Shortie/Vapors, he would only speak to me after I threatened to inform his patron/monarch of what had happened, he logged immediately after my last statement.

http://mugca.cc.monash.edu.au/~gjbar2/paypal/firstcontact.jpg

This is the second time I spoke to him. Prosonic, is my R/L friend who was also scammed and I would apologize for his language used in some instances.

http://mugca.cc.monash.edu.au/~gjbar2/paypal/secondcontact.jpg

http://mugca.cc.monash.edu.au/~gjbar2/paypal/secondcontact1.jpg

http://mugca.cc.monash.edu.au/~gjbar2/paypal/secondcontact2.jpg

http://mugca.cc.monash.edu.au/~gjbar2/paypal/secondcontact3.jpg

http://mugca.cc.monash.edu.au/~gjbar2/paypal/secondcontact4.jpg

As to mousey talking to this guy from the bot, that is totally impossible as Mousey (Prosonic's Monarch) does not have access to Prosonics account and so could not have logged in the bot.

I will post the other screenshots when I receive them and if there are any questions please don't hesitate to contact me either IG or here.

Thankyou

Jenna Moonblade

Shortie,

If i may ask, does your RL friend play AC too? Well of course he does. May I have his name too please. Because you are not alone in this after reading those statements that were made. I want to know who else we are dealing with too. For some reason your name is the only one coming up. Is it the guy that you gave the account of shortie iii too. I could let the LOD know that this is going. Because if it is I know that some people over there arent going to be happy about it either.

Shortie,

As soon as I saw this I PM'ed you asking for an explation, early this morning. Things got more involved since then but the end result still comes down to it's your account that's involved. You know what's going on...or can find out, we can't know the full truth...you do or can find out. So it's up to you to fix it...You say it's your RL friend....ok...then fix it with the folks that your friend messed up....it was you account so it's your responsiblity....

 

simple things....

 

Nia

Here's another problem with this tale.

Say I bought some sing keys. 720 to be exact. 24 fit on a keyring, that makes 30 keyrings. Will someone PLEASE lend me their account so I can go pick them up. I can't seem to come up with 30 EMPTY SLOTS in my backpack, or any backpack! Out of 5 accounts.

Any takers?

Now, I'm a packrat, and my mules are full. But dang, I can come up with 30 slots!

Sorry, but something is really fishy here.

Does your "friend" deserve such protection? As Myrva said, character names would be a good thing to provide.

/edit - I just checked out those screenies. Funny how that 3 year thing came up in them also.

Ok people this whole thing is so messy a corner wouldn't even touch it. Seems people jumped to conclusions about shortie, how long was he apart of us? 3yrs?! and some of us already calling him a thief. come on people think with your heads. I don't know shortie or Jenna at all but what I think should happen is this instead of duking it out on the boards here find a time and get together in game with a couple of bias people(different Monarchys) and talk this out face to face. It really peeves me that just after maybe 5min of being able to talk people jumped. yes the evidence doesn't look good but it's a game....argh I'll stop here
