I had retired from game since Oct but decided to come back into the game. So i bought an account here from Maidak with 100 positive review thinking it would be safer as he would have done checks b4 acquiring accounts for sale. I was wrong. I bought the account in Oct & got recalled 1 mth later. I bought the accounts without secret Q&A, MAIDAK did not state on the sell thread there isn't one & it was partly my fault for overly trusting on the trader & not asking him b4 i paid him.
After it was recalled, i pm the Maidak, the initial response i got from him was my accounts got hacked. Well i dont have windower or contact game friends outside of ffxi. He later say the accounts were bought from a person he "trusted". I m surprised a veteran trader in this line could buy an account base on trust.
I had lost the money i paid for & thus far there is no news from the veteran trader on a reply from the "trusted" person. I doubt there will be any reply as the person recalled the account.
The lesson learn from this is:
1) Dont ever think that a veteran trader's account is any safer. Do your own checks & read the fine lines on the account sell thread. Some pertinent info on the account may not be disclosed by trader. It is buyer's responsibilty to also verify & ask questions. Ask lotsa question b4 u buy an account.
2) Buy account only if secret Q&A is provided. Without one, the SE pw can be easily reset by anyone with the Q&A.
3) Maidak has been reported for scamming FFXI Accounts, Gil. I have no proof of this, I know know what has happened to me.
3) Please do not buy accounts or gil from this trader. A fair warning to everyone here.
