Greetings xxxx,

I am just following up your recent phone call regarding account recovery.

As discussed, The suspension of your Diablo III account has now been removed, and you should be able to log in at your convenience.

Having looked into your issue, it appears that your account has been compromised using a key logger or trojan virus, or through an e-mail or website phishing scam. The first thing you should do before logging in, is follow the Security Checklist on our Account Security Site, which can be found at:

Account Security - Battle.net

For more information about this topic, you can visit our Blizzard Customer Support Videos:

You are also responsible for every use of an account on which you are listed as the registered player, whether the use was authorized or not.

- Use up-to-date firewall, antivirus, and anti-spyware software to scan your system regularly for viruses, Trojans, and key-loggers.

- Keep your operating system and other software up-to-date and be careful when downloading new software.

- Be wary of ""spoof"" and scam websites and e-mails that pose as Blizzard Entertainment and request account or personal information. As a reminder, Blizzard Entertainment representatives will *never* ask you for your password.

- Use separate, unique passwords for your email, Battle.net, and any other online accounts.


- Change your passwords regularly and keep your account information updated using the Account Management pages at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/ and http://www.blizzard.com/account/.

What do you guys think? i bought it off player auctions. The guy was passed his "20 min gareenttee" by 9 hours, gave me the wrong password, then i just fell asleep, now it works. But i found these 2 support tickets when i logged in. Both dating oct 15 and oct 21. Should i just refund this? Not sure what my answer would be when i dispute it, does paranoid count as a reason? Oh and his country of orgin is "Australia" which means i wouldn't be able to use the rmah, it said "us servers" i guess he didn't specially say based in the us...

I think it should be fine, if you're very worried about it then don't use the RMAH on that account, just bot with it and give the good items to your main account.

Judging by the emails from blizz, I have this suspicion that the guy was botting on a VP N. VP N is helpful in reversing bans because it looks to Blizzard like your account was stolen.
 
how much did you pay? I would probably get my money back.

payed 56 usd, already refunded it, i'm awaiting the "committee' to judge if my agreements were valid, which i don't think i have a strong case. I guess if they take 5 or 10 bucks from my refund that'll be okay i guess, anymore then i'd prob just go through pay pal and get a refund. I'm trying to use the account for hardcore, so if it gets compromised i'm going to lose alot of time and resources spent
 
I advice sticking to buying keys only as well. There is simply too much risk involved in buying accounts.
 
Been monitoring this website for a while decided to signup for your post. Don't deal with playerauctions.com period. They are a scammers paradise. You have no control, and you can't charge them back. Read here

Has anybody else been scammed through PlayerAuctions? | MMOExchange.net

I'd like to add, PA itself is a bunch of scam artists (not only is it an easy place to get ripped off).

They read through ALL private messages. I got banned for mentioning to a guy to contact me via email if we needed to set something up again. They considered that saying I will be conducting trades outside their site and banned me; telling me i needed to pay 450 USD to re-instate my account (no, i'm not making that figure up). Bunch of shady fucking people.

I've done business with other parties before without any issues.

Playerauctions is the worst period. Not only are they shady alone, they have horrible support, they offer no protection, you can't reverse the payment on them, sellers constantly can comeback and resell the products, you have no clue who you are buying from, you are limited on what information you can get on the person you are buying from, they'll ban you if you do anything against their policy, the products being sold there are expensive, the delivery times are rarely met on time, most sellers on their are one and done, not reputable, and children can sell on their website as they do know background checks, all you need is a paypal account to get paid which is fairly easy to setup and use someone elses information such as a family or friend.

The only thing Playerauctions does is take a large percent of the transaction by offering a platform for you to sell a product and maybe

if shit hits the fan, couldn't i cancel through pay pal?
 
yes, you have 30 days to register the problem with paypal.
 
PayPal doesn't protect against virtual transactions. Your claim will automatically be closed.
 
I bought a account from playerauctions and it had restoration tickets open. As soon as i seen them i demanded a refund cause i knew i was gonna get screwed. PA and the seller assured me i was just paranoid and to give it a shot. So it seemed i had no choice in the matter, i geared it up and played it for about a month. Then the fucker reclaimed it.. I've bought many, many accounts from PA before, and have only been screwed twice.

This one just hurt cause i KNEW it was gonna fucking happen, and it did.

Umm, i have no real point here... Just had to rant

so i just demand a refund? even if they insist i keep it?
 
If your buying items/currency PA seems to be pretty good. I cant comment on accounts I have never purchased/sold an account.

Yes but they are slower and more expensive than the reputable websites for virtual currency. Reputable websites have a good system and have been doing this for years. PA relies on individual sellers who raise there price in order to compensate for the fees PA Charges.
 
PayPal does work with virtual transactions, way back I bought some gold from eing.com? Anyway after reading their 5 min guarantee, 1 hr later still no gold, so I contacted them and received no reply, I then disputed the payment with PayPal and got refunded.
