Hey guys so I had recently been looking around the internet for OG Minecraft names for a relatively cheap price. With my luck I found a guy on ogminecraft that posted the name StickyPiston for $7. So, I was like hell yeah let me contact him! Obviously I knew this was too good to be true, so I went along with it seeing if I could crack him. Yes. It's a long chat but it wouldve been shorter if he didnt fuckin spam me after every question.

Here's the Skype convo:

[3:15:29 PM] ez: why add
[3:17:24 PM] NeonMoon: Hey just wanted to see if you still had the account "StickyPiston" still available.
[3:30:10 PM] ez: yes i do
[3:30:34 PM] ez: what is your offer on it
[3:40:46 PM] ez: ?
[3:40:51 PM] ez: optifine cape
[3:40:55 PM] ez: 750$ in server ranks
[3:41:08 PM] ez: which is significant
[3:41:10 PM] ez: but not much
[3:45:36 PM] NeonMoon: Well, it was at $7 on ogminecraft.com
[3:45:39 PM] NeonMoon: ...

[3:49:01 PM] NeonMoon: How much for bulk?
[3:49:11 PM] ez: what do you mean
[3:49:38 PM] ez: i didnt get it..
[3:50:55 PM] ez: Hey, Im going offline soon since I have work tomorrow early.

[3:55:57 PM] ez: Since all accounts cost me 5$.
[3:55:57 PM] ez: Lol
[3:56:06 PM] ez: I can sell you multiple accounts
[3:56:11 PM] ez: For cheaper, you can even resell them and profit.
[3:56:15 PM] ez: But that's not my business.
[3:56:24 PM] NeonMoon: Do these have the tid?
[3:56:31 PM] ez: If you want
[3:56:33 PM] ez: i can get it
[3:57:13 PM] ez: give me names

[3:58:18 PM] ez: Yes.
[3:58:24 PM] ez: Using c++ drive to snipe.

[4:20:45 PM] ez: uh
[4:20:47 PM] ez: I just told you
[4:20:53 PM] ez: I just cracked the server and got its API.
[4:20:58 PM] ez: I do have Google.
[4:21:00 PM] ez: Its the same name
[4:21:04 PM] ez: On a diferente account.
[4:21:11 PM] ez: How don't you get that?
[4:21:50 PM] NeonMoon: Alright then fine, go an a multiplayer server and type something
[4:22:06 PM] NeonMoon: Since you "have this name"
[4:22:39 PM] ez: Can't login to a multiplayer server given that I just afp verified the account so that no one can crack it on you. Once you login then you can type it, I can't. If I do, you wouldn't be able to acess the account.
[4:22:46 PM] ez: pistolas is on btw, he just replied to me.
[4:22:49 PM] ez: You can contact him.
[4:23:49 PM] ez: Are you interested or not?
[4:23:56 PM] ez: If you're just wasting my time just say it..
[4:23:59 PM] ez: There's more intersted.
[4:24:09 PM] NeonMoon: Nope sorry not interested anymore. Sorry to waste time.
[4:24:18 PM] ez: fuckign hell lol
[4:24:20 PM] ez: bye
[4:25:09 PM] NeonMoon: Cya!


In my point of view I felt this was an easy attempted scam. I mean is there a program called c++ that can actually snipe names? Can he actually have the ability to receive whatever name he wants? lol I especially love how he was willing to give me "bulk" deals of three names for a significantly higher price.

Let me know who you think is at fault and how to deal/confront attempted scammers.

Shoutout to whoever was committed enough to read this far lolo

Most likely a scam. Prices are ridiculously cheap, and if I'm not mistaken the user doesn't even own most of those accounts. I could be wrong, but deal with caution.

100% a scam and i dont think the kid even understands what a sniper is based on what he said
Lol! I know right! I knew something smelt fishy! Like if he could get any account he wanted why wouldnt he list them for sale?

He doesn't own Fat Madbegger does
Definitely an attempted scam by whoever contacted you. Like Devon stated above, I am the only one with access to the account Fat (completely secured) with it linked to my account and I full well know the value of it and it been nfs/off the market.

Alright.

To get this straight this user is StickyPiston.

Why?
1- He's selling StickyPiston (lol)
2- He's portuguese, you can note in the autocorrect he wrote ''diferente'' which means Different, and when I write different on skype (I'm Portuguese), it shows up as diferente.[DOUBLEPOST=1470333228][/DOUBLEPOST]Also,
is there a program called c++ that can actually snipe names?
C++ is a programming language, and no, he can't get a name that is occupied just because he feels for it. The max he can do is hack the account itself, which he wouldn't be able to.

http://prntscr.com/c1n22m - Lol, don't think he uses MCM.

If you submit a scam report for attempted scamming, you could probably get him banned in 24 hours because the chances of him responding are very low.

The screenshot he showed you of the launcher was just a cracked launcher and you can pick any name; which is why he could only go on singleplayer. This was 100% an attempt to scam.
