A couple of friends accounts seem to have gone missing. The accounts don't seem to have been active since they've disappeared, so if anyone sees either of them up for sale could you post here.

Mithra: 75 BLM/THF/BLU/WHM
Taru Male: 75 BLM/RDM

Thanks

I dno anything about buying accounts, but the names of them might be of some help in finding them :P

When a account selling website selling account, they don't give out name, only job type and the level, since Countney said is both inactive, so no point giving out name, but it maybe helpful it they happen to be active and on..
 
Harb and xtereem have both lost their accounts. Xtereem said his info was changed entirely (pw and cc) and harb had his changed/stolen just last night while we were online.

One explanation for xtereem, at least, is that whoever took his account moved it over to ifrit (ffxiah records). So if anyone knows anyone on ifrit, it would be nice if you could maybe get us in contact with them and help us figure it out.

any other information that might help, or experiences with POL support would be appreciated.
 
Wow, that sucks. Both of those players are pretty pimped out if I'm thinking of the right ppl...

It's been said many times before. Don't give out your info, and don't download 3rd pt programs, and this won't happen. Good luck to your friends on getting their accounts back, although it's highly unlikely you'll ever see those accounts again.
 
If everything had been changed, then they are completly out of luck, sorry to say. The CC info is the one thing that you have that ties you to the account if something happens to the password or anything like that.

You might have some luck if they keep track of CC info changes or anything like that.

No they aren't out of luck. If they call SE and explain the situation and provide all the original keys especially the PO key and give all previous CC information(with the obvious explaination the new user changed the CC info duh!) there is a good chance you can get the account back.
 
There were two former-CK members who lost their accounts in a similar fashion after migrating. I still see them log on via FL and I was told they're RMT on the server they migrated to now...

Hopefully they hold credit card change records. They should have some sort of external confirmation system in place incase shit like this happens.
 
Harb were stolen? >.<

Bye-bye Swedish mithra ; ; Although he didn't seem to be playing much if at all anymore, everytime I sent him tells it were someone else playing ;/ Dunno why, but maybe he had accss to Xtreem's account as well and decided to move? Iunno.

Ill tell you first hand, that it don't mean shit what keys, or the old info was. You don't have the current info SE won't do shit for you.

Sad to say but those accounts are a lost cause now. Only thing really you can do is try and trash their rep where they ran to. If they are rmt there, well it won't really matter anyways.

i've had my account stolen and simply went to SE, they checked logs, and cross referenced some log ons. It all added up, they changed my account info and I logged on changing it again to new things.

I was out some decent gear but nothing that couldn't be re farmed or camped.

They can do something. You've been paying for a service you use/used/still want to use, and someone steals it. That's a crime, and SE can thusly look up your old information and cross-referance it with the information you're giving in order give you your account back.

What you need, though, is street name, real-life name, credit card number and activation codes.

Reason they couldn't do it before is because you might share account with someone (which, btw, is against the user agreement you agreed to, which is why SE is hillarious), or that you could have given it to someone and want it back (which you can legally do since you technically "bought" it), or that you sold your acccount (which, btw, is against the TOS since RMT is illegal. Your account is legally SE's account, and thus selling it is illegal).

Additionally, if you can prove that they didn't change the payment info yet, or that your account were stolen, but you still got billed for it while you did not have access to it, you could also bring up legal actions against the person that stole the account, since that's practically using a person's credit card without their permit, which is also illegal sicne the person is basically using a stolen credit card. And in that case you can go around SE and go through your bank in order to get your account back. Although it would be wise if you contacted SE about it as well.

Either way, depending on the situation, you can get more then just your account back :p

Depends on the person you talk to :). Its not normal practice, but if you don't have the current info "sometimes" they ask for the info the account was created with. I think I still have the saved chat log too ;).

edit : ICR Kenny Y: Since the address you have given me does not match with
what is on this account, I will try to get an exception for you for not
having the correct address.

Just a small part of the chat.

Really sorry to here about this. I don't have anything else to add that hasn't been said already. I do hope X and Harb get their accounts back, I wanna see X die in Dynamis some more.

Peace,
Shmed
 
wow that sucks! hope it works out for them!
 
Seems odd that two people in the same ls lost their accounts at the same time. Sounds like a case of people trusting their account info to the wrong person. Regardless, wouldn't hurt to have them call S-E, even if the call is in vain. Better than sitting around and doing nothing.
 
Noone is being blamed or flamed.

A number of different actions are being taken by a number of different people to try to find out what happened. This post was just one of them.

As I said, if anyone notices one of these accounts for sale, please contact one of us, or post here.
