I'm going to tell my story about how I was scammed by Kendrah1. Kendrah1 has a great website to lure account sellers in so PLEASE read this before reading his bull*it.
Hi everyone. My name is Martin and I'd like to tell my story. I've been playing FFXI (Final Fantasy XI) for a very long time. Since the release for playstation 2 really and I have, or had a very well geared character.
I wont tell the exact details of my account as it is currently going through a rollback but it was a elvaan male with all jobs at 75 and over 40mil in gil. It had kraken club, novio earring and other major sellables. Since I decided to quit, I thought I would sell my account because I needed the money pretty bad. I know I know! You should never sell your account but I had no more use for the account and I figured why not make some money.
I went through alot of websites and fourms and nothing really stood out. I heard the name Kendrah1 before so I googled his name. There were a few reports of him scamming people on ckgaming. So I made an account on ckgaming and talked to the admin there. Apparently he was banned from the site. He was trying to hide his identiy by talking in third person to make the people who were accusing him of scamming seem like liars. When admin found out it was Kendrah1 and others found out it was him, they were banned from the site. If you google the name avid ckgaming, he is banned. Avid is Kendrah1, who is banned from ckgaming.
I also read a few reports about ckgaming doing some bad business so I was not aware if this was legit or not. Apparently someone sent him $5000 for an account that he delivered, however the account got recalled. Kendrah said nothing but "Sorry, its not my fault" and the guy got screwed over for $5000. Google Kendrah1 and you can probably find it. I continued to look all over the net for a site to sell to without getting scammed. I finally sent my info to accountswappers, Kendrah1's website and recieved a quote back in no time at all. He seemed very professional and I began to believe the reports about him were false. He also had a report on how to avoid getting scammed on his website. Here is what he wrote.
"I am author a scam prevention guide in this business. I show individuals how to protect themselves from scammers. I've given this guide away to about 50 individuals in this industry, all who gave great reviews. One individual specifically was an owner of a forum who hosts over 150,000 active traders in this industry. I offer a large amount of this information for FREE to various individuals, and I currently donate this guide for free as a service to the community I participate in. I earn nothing from doing so. It would be illogical that I would ever resort to becoming a scammer. I identify and then ban scammers, and educate others how to avoid them when they wish to sell their goods on the market. I've built my reputation up by offering honest and ethical services, and to think I would ever join their ranks is nonsense, and insulting."
Looks pretty legit to be honest. I believed it and I decided to go with his quote. I submitted my account information after this and guess what. Its been two weeks without a word from me. He wont even let me know whats going on, thats all I want to know to be honest. I have his personal information from others who have done business with him and I will be submitted it to square enix and playonline. He believes he somehow runs a business. I'm guessing due to the lack of sales hes had, hes now resorted to scamming.
I believe he WAS legit and did DO legit business at a certain time, however due to the fall of FFXI and the decreased demand he is now scamming people. His numbers are down apparently from other reports and fourms I've read and hes having trouble even selling the accounts he has for sale. Since then I've contacted playonline and they are going to be doing a rollback on my account as they have already recieved my notary. I will update this with the information on my account and his emails once that is complete. Please anyone reading this, stay far away from Kendrah1. He is a scammer who lures people in by stating he is on. I have many other people who are going to post their stories here. I've done alot of research and its time for Kendrah1 to stop. He days of selling/buying/stealing accouts are over.
