Wait, what? You got hacked and lost 16k worth of gold and mats and they tried to sell it back to you?

key words he said... "Would you like to buy gold AGAIN"...
gold buying/selling is against TOS. Not sure what the purpose of this post was but its not welcome.

Im 99% sure this guy was same guy who stole all my gold last night. Ive never bought gold because when u are boxing its just stupid (u can make 1k every day without any problems in 4 hours)

I get about five of these a day, and its " would you like to buy again? " every time, despite having never paid a penny for gold in my life. I just spam them with NI HAO from all five chars till they shut up.
Not very classy, but it works.

Goldspammers ruin the economy. On some realms, where there'se bots that go spam in the city, a shaman simply places a magma-, or fire totem, logs out on a specific moment - totems become natural after the owner logs out - then, when a few seconds later it bursts out, it kills all lowbies!
Regarding the spam, doesn't an addon like "SPAM-ME-NOT" or SpamWarden work for you guys? I've been using it quite some time, and I've hardly seen any spam whatsoever.

Might be fake,
most advertisers start with hi, not Hallo.
Hallo is hi in DUTCH, and i never seen a chinese farmer say Hallo
Maybe your dutch, had a fight with your best friend which was also dutch, he stoled your gold, and to make you feel more bad, he tries to sell you the exact same amount that got hacked at your accounts.
I have a big immagination, but hey maybe it was usefull.
And i dont buy gold i just get spammage 24/7

ok first of, this sux for you, and im sorry.
its a good thing that you have your screenshot, if you go clever, AND if you are telling truth here, then:
write a GM ticket. wait for it and tell them your situation, when it happened and the exact amount of things.
then the GM (given enough of persuation) will investigate server logs for your sending all u got to another char, standard procedure for hack cases.
then he will investigate the gold-farmers view of things. the character that u got hacked to (the reciever) will prolly be deleted and the account too.
this will prolly convince the Gm and give u ur stuff back. if not, tell him about ur screenshot ;)
this happened to a friend of mine and he got it all back :)
best of luck.
