MMORPG accounts really go for 10BTC....

I may be new to games, but why would you buy a $1400 account when you can get one for free?
When he told you all of this, did he actually provide proof that he owns this account?
Not sure but I sure as hell wouldn't pay that for a account lol

DT accounts of such a high level can end up being quite profitable.

I was in current talks with this member on buying a 60gh/s single. He sent pictures as well as agreed to an escrow deal. I don't know what his true motives were in this deal but thanks for the heads up!
Who did he want to use for escrow?

Didn't say a name, I just asked if he had an idea on who to use for escrow and he replied that he had a verified Localbitcoins profile and that he would be willing to use escrow.

I guess it's just fair to do that, or maybe not flag but just a warning post.

I had indicated he was a scammer in this post because of several red flags his forum activity raised. My dilemma is whether to be proactive and flag these obvious scammers and in turn upset a bunch of people (not just the scammer himself), or sit back and wait til they rip people off?

I guess I should apologize for not flagging him when I felt I should have. People tend to get butt-hurt when I flag others for "no apparent reason".
