Keys from the MPGH-Trading Board

[Haxter12]

Hey there.

Not long ago i wasted my legit ArmaII Key with Yolo Hack. Had a lot of fun and i knew, that this would happen.

So i startet to buy keys from different dealers (five by now).

With every single key, i have came into trouble within 2 hours... "Key in use" or "Key got banned".

(Didn´t used any hacks.)

My Question: Is this just usual in the key-business or are there 90% scammer in the trading board?

You won't really know if they're scamming you or if they're being legit.
It really depends where they get their keys.

[Zedonk]

Usual business. Keys get banned because it is discovered that they are stolen, which is how the keys are sold in the first place. People must steal keys from people who download a fake hack which steals their arma key. These keys are then sold. Sometimes the keys are banned, or sometimes they are "In use" because the person recovers the key.

..or sometimes they are "In use" because the person recovers the key.

Or resells. Don't forget that!

Yeah if you do manage to get a legit key (and not get scammed) there is a chance it will be resold anyway.

My last one lasted about a week, then it got banned (but I think it was my fault)

Move to discussion?

Be patient and a Minion will do his job when he sees it.

Of course. Just figuring out the reasoning behind the post.

But yeah, try and find a seller with lots of vouches or a trusted one.

Sometimes it's the sellers. Sometimes not. People don't seem to understand that these are stolen keys. The person could easily get their key back and start playing (which results in you getting an in use key) and then they're stupid enough to download more free hacks from YouTube. Resulting in multiple key sellers unknowingly selling the same key. Which could result in bans. @Bosegelucke is probably THE BEST seller on here. Vouch x100. I have his lifetime key service. I think it's like $25 which is still cheaper than a new copy of the game. Keys aren't concrete, which is why they're so cheap. If you aren't going to hack again, then buy a legit key from Steam because it will never become in use or get banned randomly if you're not hacking.

I don't get it, doesn't the original key get replaced with ex. 000-000-000 ? And since there's no undo button, how's the stoleee going to know what his previous key used to be?

This was also my suspicion...

So it could be possible that some dealers have a kind of "business model"?

Maybe this way:
In stock = 50 Keys

First customer get the first key...
Second customer the second...
Third customer the third....
... and so on.

When the 51. customer buy´s a key, he will get the first key again. And the customer with the first key get a message with "key in use".

Now the first customer ask for warranty and the dealer give´s him the second key. The circle will go on and on.

Sorry for my poor english, but this is how i can imagine.

Exactly. But thats being somewhat clean about it. There's sloppier work than that. People replacing your key with a key you've previously bought, reselling whatever key they can highlight, or no service at all. Its not so much quality keys but quality service. You have to find someone you can trust replacing your keys.
