If the people who have been scammed wish to contact me I will try to find some way to help, even if it is just a small token payment compared to what they lost.

I wasnt scammed by him...

You could start a thread with all the outgoing Naq and UU so the community can start to trace down what other accounts received naq and UU from this one.

I agree, people that buy accounts these days have absolutely no idea what account they are getting (this included any and all stats and also previous owners reputation/actions).

Why don't they just trace the IP address?

Mostly id agree, but there where plently of posts and everyone knew that technoboy was a scammer, and had scammed many, there are plently of accounts for sale, and yet he just happened to buy the one that a well known scammer was selling, uh huh.....

Okay starting at the top

you can PM me those banned account ID's if you dont mind tho 8)


None taken Lore. I was aware that technoboy had scammed in the past, around the time that I left, but didnt realise it was quite such a recent past. I have been away for a long time. I'll get the IDs for you later, get an SQL error when I try to load the game now.

Most of the outgoing resources went to an account named "Naquadah4Me", which is one of the banned accounts now. Again dont know the ID off the top of my head. He obviously moved it on from there as it had/has next to nothing. Other outgoing resources were what looked to be legit trades (eg, 3.5 tril naq for 5m UU) with various people.

Don't really have an answer for this other than I posted above in response to Lore. I knew he'd scammed a bit in the past, thought that was a long time ago and not in the quantity it obvioulsy was. Perhaps it was nieve of me, but nevertheless I was wrong. Also I had been looking for an account for more than two weeks with little luck. Its easy to find if your paying in $$, not so easy for ingame resources, especially on a small budget.

And to everyone who said welcome back. Thanks :)

Re: RE: Account ID 1909460 (Technoboy)

welcome back dude. heard alot about you. all good lol.

as for the account what he did to people then he should be held accountable for that and all you can do is carry on playing the game and tranform that shell of an account to your own. good luck.

Re: RE: Account ID 1909460 (Technoboy)

Welcome back,
If we all started listing out what we lost to Norbe then we'd only depress him too much and he'd quit again. We should be celebrating the reappearance of a good player because we know Techno will be back soon enough with his get rich schemes and we'll have an extra person to hit him as well.

Welcome back Norbe. I hope everyone will give you a fair shake despite the history of that account.
