What do you mean you would be weary if one has an active account? Shouldn't that make you more worry-free because d3 is listed as "active" in his account?

No, like literally they monitor that the specific pre-paid card has been purchased. As soon as you scan it at wall-mart checkout the pre-paid card is activated and able to be used. If you steal one and try it, it will be invalid. If you enter a key that was not purchased at some point it will just be invalid unless it is somehow recognizable as a deliberate fake.
People who sell an active account can easily recover it and you are SOL since it's against their policy anyways to sell an account.

No way in hell would every retailer carrying the game would have a real time system that could send that kind of information to blizzard instantly at time of purchase. I could see it maybe for game cards if specific big retailers carry it only (but still don't think that is the case).

But the screenshot could just be photoshopped. Don't buy the game, you are being scammed.

Actually, he bought the digital copy from blizzard and he's just selling the account to me now. What are things that I need to check to ensure that the account is indeed legit and diablo 3 active?
Ok. But like I said above, the guy bought it from Blizzard (as he said). Now what do I need to inspect in the account for it to be considered legit?
Ok. No problem with the screenshots since I would meet the person up front and inspect the account.
