Yes, take screenshots and send to anet. Also, yes, avoid giving his name on these forums, as it is against the rules, and there is nothing guru could do to rectify the situation anyway.

I'd like to add that attempting to buy accounts from other players is also against the rules, so if the transaction had occurred, it would've probably ended up in a suspended account anyway.

Take it to support... see what they do. But I honestly don't think letting them know your friend was trying to buy an account will help things.

http://support.plaync.com is the place to go.

However, your cousin will almost certainly get nothing out of it. Anet does not return 'stolen' or 'accidentally deleted items' [Nor are they the only company that does this].

Also, for future reference, please skim these;

There's a note in one of them about not reselling accounts, and how they're non-transferable. Probably just for this reason. A little precaution and reading goes a long way.

As there's nothing the community can actually do, this is /closed.
