Besides informing people about how NOT TO get scammed you're also informing people on HOW TO scam.
Just Saying man. Im not sure if this is actually helping, Didnt even know that it was showing on you're account page that a new one has been ordered, geuss thats a good thing! :).
On a sidenote, I dont think anyone is gonna wait 6 months for their money, so the best thing to do is to ask the person selling the account for every confirmation key that has been ordered in the las 6 months so u can use them all and make them Invalid.
@Daniel-Sp
My advise make a Do and Don't list So you can see all the info in 1 blink.
True's
- Unlimited amount of Confirmation keys can be used.
- Confirmarion Key's wont Cancel one and another
- Confirmation keys are valid for 6 months after their purchase
False
- Don't Buy accounts with Ordered confirmation keys wich u do not own/have.

Something like this.
Reporting a failure is an idea but by Holman and Urana's posts, I'm pretty sure that scammers are abusing it for a while so there's no option than alerting everyone for now. Hopping that CIP fixes it ASAP.
I know they are really bad on hearing us but tbh, with the actual registration/account system there are no bugs.
Hiddin it would make those guys continue with that, lol..
Even for ressellers its kinda easy to jump from it by taking a picture of the letter saying the date of the order vs the letter. I know it could be faked and printed but thats why I underlined the word ressellers, since they suppose to be trustable people.
Let's follow smeg's link and check how it goes... Lets hope for a fast fix since it don't need and client release and, technically talking, looks like really obvious system, should be easy to fix. ( some DB queries during the new RK generation and its done).
The point is: How would you know that this used key is invalid ? I received the key 123456, used it and generated a RK. Then I sell you the char and give you the key 12345A, it will be as invalid as the used one. For scamming works the same..I haven't used the key and give you a fake one.
@Daniel-Sp, Alright bro.
Here is the link to Tibia.

Sorry just noticed, smeg posted ^
I agree about the scamming part, it's kinda scary.
If a well-known account seller really wanted to, they could sell several accounts within a 6 month period make thousands of dollars.
Then take all the accounts back and sell them on another forum.
Hopefully CIP will fix this issue.
I don't want to be the one but... I told you so. :)
