How I lost money buying online accounts

Hey guys, I felt like sharing my experience of getting scammed with you guys and maybe help prevent you from getting scammed.

I got scammed for $60, that might not seem much but it still hurts me since I have lost my job a while ago and don't have that much money.

Recently I bought a game account (a Smite one), it was all fine, had sold my old one for enough money to buy this one. But one day the seller reclaimed the account with the email it was originally connected to. It was almost too easy for him. After he denied to me he had done it.

So apparently this is a way you can get scammed. I know this wasn't for a very big amount of money. (For me it actually was) But I also know there are sold WoW accounts online for more than 3000 euros which could even hurt more.

I'm sorry if this isn't relevant here, but I thought it could help some people.
