how to know if the account is comrpomised or has done bad trades in the past??? i bought this account 5 days ago for a thousand pesos from my roommate and it seems that he did not paid the loan he got and sold me this account??? the lender want's me to go to jail because of this! i dont want to go to the jail!!!!! help please?? :(

p.s. the lender tells me that its still the same ip that the previous holder of this account used. were roommates and using the same connection. im scared that i'll go to jail because of this. :(

I somehow feel this is not a meta topic, but I dont know where it should be either.

You cant know whether an account is compromised, but if its under your control currently you can change password and mail as well as disable the security question. Bad trades should be reflected in the trust history of the account and unfinished trades should be visible from the post history.

I wonder how to lender would determine your IP address. Are you sure this is not a setup by your roommate?

i dont know! he left yesterday without even saying where he will go. i only known him for some months, starting on january and yesterday he left. the lender wants me to go to jail because he said that im the new owner of this account. im from the philippines and idont know the law's regarding this one. help me please. :( i didnt change the email because my roommate told me that i cannot change the email here. i do change the password but i dont know if my accoutn is safe.

Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

If the account owes someone money via a loan then you should pay the loan regardless of if the account was "sold". If you don't pay your debt to the lenders satisfaction then you will likely get negative trust.

If you really purchased this account then you should have checked for outstanding loans prior to paying for it.

The lender has no way to know your IP address.  

Edit: why don't you post the lending thread/post? From what it looks like, the account took out a loan from magic8ball then a short time later he posted that the principal was returned and that the account was returned to the owner.

That's right, either roll doubles in next three turns or pay $50 or use a "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" card if you have one.

But seriously I am finding it a little hard to believe your story, it sounds like one of those people who get busted with weed in their car and then their first line of defense is, "It's not my car, It's my roommate's".

Btw, who's the lender?

Police would probably shoe up at your door soon, I would hide!  Say your goodbyes ::)

QuickSeller how do we know this guy really bought this account recently?
How do we know he's not just saying that to act all innocent, pretending he has no knowledge of previous wrong doings on this account?

It'd be pretty easy to have loads of negative trust & then one day say 'I have just bought this account, how do I remove the negative trust, it's nothing to do with me'.

I'm cynical but happy to be proven wrong & the OP to prove his innocence.

I think my post was pretty clear that I was skeptical about it being sold. And as I mentioned, the fact that an account was sold really doesn't matter in terms of handing out trust to others (eg if it scammed or defaulted on a loan then a negative rating would be appropriate regardless of if it got sold).

A special S.W.A.T team will knocking on your door soon :D

try confronting your ro0m mate ::)
