It sort of males sense but how do scammers use accounts they scammed

[@omkaranjarlekar]

I almost got scammed but my own stupidity saved me XD So basically I was at my house and got a whisper like you did and he said he wanted to swap accounts (he was level 50 and I was level 40). I was 10 so my understanding of the world was still, "Everyone is so nice!" so I gave him what I thought was my password (turns out I changed it) and he gave me his "password" I failed to log in to his account so I logged into mine and he said I gave him the wrong password. Then my brain finally worked and I said that the pass he gave me was a fake too and then I left. I shoulda reported him XD

Man We really have the same story mate.

I don't know how to reclaim my old acc tho

[@Oridux]

I really don't understand why people steal accounts on AQW, there's no incentive to do so. You don't get any cool items, because those that will fall for a scam are usually really noob, and you can't even trade those items back to your main!

[@Malus53]

That'a actually pretty cool that you got your account back after 8 years. I once was playing a game calles 4Story where my account got stolen and then banned. I conntacted support numerous ammount of times but they never gave me my acc back. Im really glad to hear that AE do what they can in order to help players instrad of getting rid of the problem by saying "Sorry, nothing we can do."

[@leltrash5683]

LMAO this was so relatable. I lost my old account that I made in 2008 in 2011 . I was told by someone they would give me 12k acs and I would be able to buy the class I wanted so much at the time because it was so good for pvp at the time, ( trollspellsmith) . Being so young and dumb I gave the dude my password in doing so I lost my card clasher, beta account / beta berserker/ alpha pirate/ undead goat/ vampire/ witch / dark caster/dark side/1st star sword/red star sword-quibbles first shop/bright skull retribution, and my favorite thing of all I lost was undead leprechaun class as the st patties event in aqw was the first event that really gave me a lot of fun and desire to play aqw. The aqw event for St. Patties day had me picking that as my favorite holiday as a kid just for the event I knew that would happen every year on aqw . But I was lucky to have made an alt during 2010 which is the account I play on now, While I don't have as many og stuff I have a lot of what are now considered very rare items which is exciting being as I just came back to aqw from a 6 year break.

This happened to me back in 2009 just after I bought a yr worth of membership because they had paladin class and I didn't and I didn't know how to get it. They didn't even use my account so it was just sitting there for a year and I didn't get to use my membership lol. Managed to get the acc back through support.

[@auqxx]

i had the same story but mine was a bit interesting. i lost my account due to someone saying free acs when i was like 10 and about 6 months later i made a new account which is my main today, but the funniest part about how i got my main account back without verifying the email, on my new main account i was playing the mogloween event in 2013 and found my old player running around i private messaged him and added him on facebook then he threatened to hack my new account if i didnt just give it up, so i took screenshots of the chat and showed it to support and got my original account back.
