Trivia Competition victim of scamming?

Edit by Lithaladin: Both players who are involved with this issue are victims of scamming. just read there comments.


Ishikaro now Ishikiro is a Scammer he scamms by building up your trust then steals everything of you.

I was a major sponsor to his trivia comp he runs everyday for noobs, I gave him 100's of free cards and gold and all so BF points for free.
I would all so send him 200,000gold to him and he would convert the gold to BF for me as he new someone offering a good exchange and then send the correct BF by mail back to me so I truely trusted him.......very helpful Until 2 weeks ago I asked him if he new anyone who wants to buy my established account as I am getting a little bored of this game since I have been playing since Beta.

To cut down the story he played out the scenario as 2 different charachters fooling me into using him as the middle man so I sent him my account info and within an hour he transfered 300 valuable cards to his account worth around 25000BF and left me with all the commons and ofcourse no payment.

This guy builds up your trust then scams you now I have nothing and have started to play a bit of F2P

holy shit 25000 bfp scammed?

i thought i lost quite some bfp because of scamming in the past

thanks for sharing this with us.

wow ok this is probably the biggest scam in the history of Battleforge.So if you can post screenshots of anything worth something i am sure the EA staff will look into it.Other than that if you tried to sell ur account for $$ its against the eula.i hope you get help soon.
Sidenote.i didnt see his trivia today at all and he wasnt online.Also some dates and time would be very much appreciated

It was September the 21st around 8:00pm.

I have sent 4 questions to EA Support and around 20 ingame report player and have only received automated responses saying we take this seriously and are investigating but we cant reveal our outcome due to privacy laws.

I have also been temporary banned from EA forums for mentioning his name as a scammer on the forums.

I only have emails of him agreeing to pay $200USD for my account and the conversations we had before and after the transaction that all went to ishikaro.

I dont care about the $200 anymore I just want to defame this player and stop the trivia comps.

i feel ur pain, i really do.But i have to make clear that there is nothing me or lithaladin can do except allow u to post on the forums here.We are not EA staff nor do we hold a high position in the BF community.But i will do everything in my power to help you.Pm me if you have further questions.

I dont expect you to be able to do anything for me, I dont care about the money I have lost, I just want to stop the trivia group Scam ring.

I just want to educate players to who they really are and their intentions.

ok then.i wish you the best of luck

Here is the chain of events:

1: Mobgstriker contacts me and asks if I know anyone who would want to buy his account
2: I get him in touch with a friend (not anymore) of mine
3: Mobgstriker gives me his login details and my exfriend sends me the payment to my paypal. (I am the middleman)
4: I login to mobgstriker to verify account is as valuable as he says it is. (It is nowhere near 25000 BFP.. I would estimate 10K maximum + upgrades)
5: I transfer the login details to my exfriend and am about to transfer money to mogbstriker
6: Exfriend is now inside mobgstriker and he convinces me that he does not like the account and would rather have mine. (Talking to him took around 1hr as he was asking about lots of stuff - I still hadn't paid mobgstriker however but he expected payment in a few hours so I was not rushed)
7: I agreed because mobgstriker had more upgrades and that to me is more important than cards and sent login info to my exfriend
8: I login to mobgstriker and notice that the account is gutted
9: I ask my exfriend and he starts laughing and points out that mobgstrikers paypal password and his account password was the same (I verified this) and he mentioned that the same applies to me (Also true)
10: He therefore was able to reverse his payment back into his account and both of our accounts were compromised.
11: By the time I got back inside my account, I had been stripped of almost everything.
(He did not even bother changing the password.. just stayed logged in long enough to take everything)
12: I contacted mobgstiker about the issue and he said that as long as he still gets paid he woudn't care
13: At the time I blamed myself and started the paypal bank transfer but by the time the transfer finished, I changed my mind about paying because to me it felt like being scammed twice.
14: I have not logged in to Ishikaro since (except maybe 1hr a day to give away what little I had left)
(Therefore I posted in the Trivia thread and mentioned that Ishikaro is no longer me)
---- In hindsight, I realize how this would be confusing as I say that Ishikaro is not me and yet hold a few Trivias to give away my last few assets. I did not bother changing my password after getting back in because there was nothing worth protecting, and I doubted my exfriend would return to steal the commons.
15: I started a new account for a completely fresh start and am planning to continue my trivia after I get more secure with BFP

Ishikaro thanks for your post.

First of all for you both never sell or buy accounts. Especiallywhen you have decided to stay ingame with another account. People can abuse your good name.

My conclussion is that there is a lot of mis communication between both of you and you are both victims of a scammer.

I hope that EA has something done with this person.
The poster mentioned to me that he has prove in the form of emails. I havent seen them yet.

btw I have changed the topic name in : Trivia Competition victim of scamming since you both got scammed and tricked.

WHAT A LOAD OF BS.

Ishikaro/Ishikiro is a scammer, I contacted you in game under 2 different usernames just minutes apart and you played the charachter of your pretend friend and the charachter of the trivia comp, I am not stupid your a scammer and you will get what is comming to you.

Do not believe this Trivia scammer all what I have said is true and has been confirmed by EA Support but they are not willing to fix due to the reason that I tried to sell my account and I gave away my account details.

I accept this and I will no longer play BF but at the end of the day Ishikaro/Ishakiro Trivia comp is a scam....Just remember Karma it will get you back in one way or another.

Its nice how you treat your trivia sponsors a warning to all the other sponsors out there.

all stuff said are only accusations and no evidence is given.how do u guys expect to work this out??

I believe both of us have quit this game for good...

I gots 40k BFP if anyone wants it
