Given that it was deemed 'ok' for shared licenses to be sold on this site, I doubt I'd ever trust anyone selling on here, too much risk. Sorry Saint.

 

I think he "sold" you just the serials... it's not a real license because Xfer does no license transfers between accounts. See: https://xferrecords.com/forums/general/can-you-sell-or-transfer-your-serum-license . So you are NOT the owner of any Serum. He just gave you his (or stolen from someone else) serial and install files. This is not the same as owning a license. Of course it will work, until Xfer finds it. But this is not a real license: he still keeps it and you are using illegally his serial.

 

Same here dude. I was thinking my Serum license will stop working shortly after he was outed, but still works. Count myself lucky (for the time being) but keeping a close eye on my license as long as needed.

Edit. It was an account takeover.

 

I understand that there are bad people out there and scammers but I (maybe a little naively I admit) believe most people aren't out to scam others and am actually quite annoyed at the fear mongering - also because due to it I wasnt able to sell stuff I know would of sold if people werent afraid! Just because I dont have time to post much - I feel like people trust users with a lot of posts more.

 

goddammit! my arturia v 9 just started showing as a demo this weekend. guess who i bought it from on august 2nd? JAMES DORAN. i also used xoom and did a bank transfer through pockit. i paid about $110 with service fee, etc. i'm pissed off. man, people suck...

i can provide screenshots etc for whatever it helps.

 

I have to suspect you actually have this guys real info. Or at least valid cardholder info for the credit card, which was used to originally buy from Arturia. If all the information is changed on the Arturia account, the only way he would be able to get back into his account would be to contact Arturia to report his account and plugin had been stolen. He would have to verify account ownership using the same credit card that was originally used for the purchase from Arturia to get them to reset the account info. That means he still has access to the card information which was used to make the original purchase of the plugin. The information he used to create the "Pockit" account does not really matter, because your money is already gone from there. But Arturia probably gave him his plugin back, updated parts of the ownership information, and thus locked you out.

This whole thing sounds extremely low tech, and high effort; compared to some deep web criminal mastermind with 20 million infoz from some data breach.

 

Well, finally my license has gone. Really surprised it lasted this long. Had it for nearly 1 year. Oh well.
