Okay, here's the story. I was in Maya's house (I don't usually heneh0e but I was bored at the moment) and my friend messaged me on a different account, level 126 NL that I don't know about. I've known this guy for a while now and he bought us a friendship ring on his main character. So this guy and I are a little close. When he messaged me, he told me his cousin quit and gave him a level 149 NL and a level 184 Bishop. I jokingly told him to share the blessing, and I noticed he was on a level 126 NL not a level 149 NL. So I asked him, and he said it's just a mule. But yet there are a bunch of godly equips on his mule... so I'm thinking how could this be a mule. He said he will let me on his account if I give him my account info and when he gave me his account info, I searched on the official website and all I saw was a level 30 character and a mule. Then I asked him if that's the account info for the 2 NL's and the bishop. He said no and that's when I started doubting him as a friend.

The old scam where they fish out a name. He probably clicked on you and saw that you had ring, there he went and posed as the person who gave you the ring. And fished out the name. That dude wasn't Adel so yeah...

Same thing happened to me, but when my friend logged on, I asked him about it and he didn't know a thing.

[quote] PaperTowns : I don't get how this is a scam? He didn't ask you for any of your account info or items. You were "scammed" because he gave you the information to an account that you didn't want? Or am I not understanding the situation? To ME, it sounds like your friend offered you something, and when you didn't get what you wanted, you call it a scam. Be grateful that he was going to give you something in the first place. This isn't a scam. [/quote] The scam was pretending to be her friend, giving her a account that obviously wasnt worth anything, and trying to get her account info.

Someone poses as her best friend he gives her the info to the "supposely" accounts he said yet they werent he told her to give him her info so he can go on it while she is on the other account. an exchange as you can see.

Uh. It just looks like you misunderstood him and are being a jerk to him, honestly. You used the "Wow, [name]" tactic, which makes guys feel like crap.
