EDIT:
If you really want to use msn then use the version you get with your computer, windows messenger.

I suggested this before but no-one listens =[

Windows Messenger is the best for avoiding scam, no-one can change their personal message, they cant change their email or nudge bomb you. Furthermore, if you disable emoticons its even harder.

As i see it, the only way they can effect classic windows messenger is to lag you out and block ur msn, like this thread says.

BUT if this ever happens and ur doing a trade, there is one place which you can go!

An online messenger! Meebo/Beebo or whatever those ones are

LOL and your trying to run for MM, gawd help us all

 

[TDD]

this is why you have the option to show people's emails instead of their display names, easily prevent 99.9999% of these scams.

and it would also make sense to put timestamping on as well.

No I Do free MM on my userservice thread thanks

 

[jackc]

[Cfrey]

I've said it'in the last post on the first page but it's good to see I'm not the only one who bothered to put up a well-thought response.

 

[Buy_me_now]

How do you freeze peoples msn :O
That could be a great laugh ^

 

[Xjaa]

Creative.

I thought off another better one when I saw this post as a challenge

 

[0wn 12anging]

This scam really sucks, happened to me twice today but i managed to prevent both. Always have the REAL person next to the fake one so you can see the difference.

 

[Snoopaloop]

crazy what people do just go get a few extra pixels...

 

[lotto]

dang that sux

 

[Atomic]

A simple way to avoid this scam:

Ask the MM to pm his RS account's name on sythe.

This is the best idea that I can see.

 

[OldFinn]

I hadn't heard of this.

Gosh, I don't like the sound of it.

This isn't anything new, if anything, it's quite old. You just don't see it a lot because it's extremely hard to time and get it to work.

Like people above have already said, simply have them PM you again if they leave a convo and come back in. As well as having him PM you his RSN will stop this one easily.
