OP is not newbie at this forum - so I'm not sure if this advice is useful to him because I think he already knows a lot of things even though he posted this scam case with a newbie account. Moreover, I'm sure he had been completely scammed because of his inability to verify the account being sold because he only focuses on high rankings and screenshots - but he forgets that scammers have a million tricks to trick their victims.

I think BITCOIN4X has told us one thing with a comparison of those two screenshots - but if any of us need something more convincing, ask Google+ to sign the message or perhaps display the account email. I don't need to force him to do that – but maybe he needs to clear his name.

There's some history of password changes Google+ has made so far based on bpip - but I don't see him having changed email in the last few months. But since email is private for some users - then I'm not sure we need to require them to post it publicly.
