Hey guys, so the user Paper Trail formerly known as "Central" UID 4269493 purchased my product on August 6th.
I received a PM on August 11th asking me if I am "Valkirk" from another forum. I immediately questioned what that meant and was told somebody was pretending to be me and is selling my product on another forum under the username Valkirk.
I decided from the get go I was going to take this seriously, nobody should be allowed to purchase products here and steal from the seller by reselling them without their permission.
I decided to look into this "Valkirk" and obviously because this reselling took place on another forum that may be considered a competing site I'm going to do my best to make sure that any screenshots I have of this do not mention the site name.
I was able to determine that the sales started on the other forum on August 8th meaning it was likely that only a short time had passed between the time this user started selling my product after buying it from me. As well, I was able to narrow down who it was fairly simply by looking at the IP addresses I have of each customer on Selly and comparing it with the limited view of IP addresses that this other forum allows users to see of other users.
I was able to determine that the user formerly known as Central, UID 4269493 had the same last two digits on his IP address as the person who was wrongfully selling my product.
That alone obviously is not at all enough information, I then went through both Central's posts on Hackforums, and Valkirk's post on the other forum to determine they have the same real name and the same age. This alone is also not enough information. When I searched Central's Skype (live:centralhf) it has the same avatar as Valkirk on the other forum.

He had literally copied every word of my sales thread, put it to text, copied my signature, the earning proofs, etc and started sales on the other forum. This is not acceptable.
When confronted on Discord he denied it was him before blocking me. He then added me to his ignore list on Hackforums and today has changed his username.
I have further identifying information about this user that connects him as the seller, but to make sure I'm not violating HF policy I will withhold this information if anybody of importance here would like that information I'd be happy to provide it.
Also as of a moment a go he is now banned on the other forum after this entire explanation was given to staff there, I don't think HF staff will do anything since his actions were off site but it's important for the community to be aware of this user who has now changed his username and is trying to hide in plain sight as a buyer that he will potentially steal your product and try reselling on other forums.

Nowadays? I'm just here for the nostalgia.
