**advice Please?**

So Iam new to the virtual trading scene and maybe iam just being paranoid but heres my situation.

Iam trading TF2 Earbuds for RSGP and the other trader is telling me for some reason he cant log into his RS account. So hes asking me to log onto it via my IP for him, and take the GP that we agreed upon. Can this is anyway backfire on me? Can he accuss my IP of hacking him? Can he use my IP to hack me back? cause once i log into his account itll tell him my IP via last log in info?

Maybe iam just being paranoid but i would greatly appreciate any wisdom and feedback to if this is a legit plan of if i should run away..

Thanks!

Well for obvious reasons it's not ideal to login and reveal your IP. For all I know, the user may not even want the items and the account could be completely empty. He can then claim you cleaned his bank and scammed.

 

I would log in using a VPS such as hotspot shield or something/get someone trusted on Sythe to do it for you. Who knows what he might be up to ;/

 

I'd personally use a VPS if you have one, as then you're pretty safe.

 

That's a VPN mate.

VPN = Virtual Private Network
VPS = Virtual Private Server

Similar letters, very different usage.
