Additional Notes:
Stay away from this scammer and DO NOT buy accounts from him.  Most likely uses multiple newbie accounts and has done this before.

Too bad you got ripped off.
You could have least used an escrow.
You dug yourself a bigger hole by opening a scam accusation.That bought account + sellers account and maybe yours will be tagged by the DT.
Scammer made his profit either way.

use escrow, even u need you pay the fees, its safety.
when seller not accept escrow for this kind of deal. its mostly not real.
Be careful next time.

It is likely that both accounts are compromised.

borris123 - This user's email address was changed recently.
Kamran099 - This user's password was reset recently.
I have tagged them and hopefully someone from DT will pick this up.

That bought account + sellers account and maybe yours will be tagged by the DT.
Buying accounts is just cancer for everyone.

People keep buying or selling digital goods cost more than $100 but never using escrow even if they have just to pay even just pennys. Thats why this incidents happens.
