My impostor going around adding people / Discord blows
Just wanna give a heads up to everyone because theres my impostor going around with exact same name as me (When i say exact same name i mean it, letter to letter, its not even detectable through Character Checker - Home website.
His scam account ID is: 398543116203851781
His scam account name is: dasheld#2736
His alt account ID is: 724993250351644683
His alt discord account is: karlllson#7686
(He recently changed his name on both accounts)
He has 2 discord accounts both with nitro, one account for his scamming habits and another account for the forum verification frauds via PM's.
Heres an example of what this scammer is doing:
- "Mark#9999" is Buying/Selling "XXXXXXX" currency on this website and posts his discord as a contact info
- Scammer adds him in friendlist with exact same name as me
- They talk and eventually "Mark#9999" demands forum verification
- Scammer hops on his second discord (which also has Nitro), edits his name into Mark#9999 and contacts me (the real seller) via discord, and tells me he sent me a private message on forum for verification telling me exactly what his forum name is.
- I would open forum private message and walla, the message is actually there - now without my knowledge of whats actually happening i would confirm that yes, you are indeed talking with me.
- After confirmed via forums, scammer goes back to his scam account and tells the "Mark#9999" that he replied and confirmed, and scam occurs.
This is actually unavoidable because discord allows the same letters to be used somehow, that aren't even detected by the characterchecker website.
The only way to prevent this from happening is to actually check the Discord ID, but how many people know about that? Yeah, not so many.
Summary:
- I would advise everyone to ask for full chatlog and discord ID when receiving a PM from a buyer/seller and not just verify like 'yeah you are talking with me' - because as sad as it sounds, no, you dont know that.
On off note:
- Discord isn't a reliable platform when it comes to RMT (Buy/Sell) mmo currencies/items or accounts and shouldn't be conisdered as valid proof/evidence when someone ends up scammed, thats my 2 cents.
