Is rskingp impersonating himself?

Other thread glitched so lets try again...

Some guy is impersonating rskingp, however I have reason to believe he might be impersonating himself. No trade went wrong here cuz I backed off but I thought I'd share it with you guys so you can judge for yourself and as a warning because it could happen to you.

The REAL rskingp's profile: http://www.sythe.org/member.php?u=326433

So the imposter (rskingp-) added me on skype and started talking to me. This person wanted to buy some Diablo 3 gold. I asked him to sent me a PM on sythe to verify it's him and he actually sent a PM (see screenshots). It was then that I checked the skype name and noticed that there was a minus behin the name (rskingp- instead of rskingp). So I was asked how come and he said because his skype was full. Never heard that one before so I got sceptical and thought to myself lets trade 1m first to see if it goes well. Meanwhile the 'skype contact limit'-thingy was still bothering me and I couldn't verify the story googling it. So I asked for another PM, which wasn't possible because sythe was down? Not for me but whatever. I told him an email was fine as well but every email he claimed to have sent never reached my inbox. And that is when I backed off.

Also, while I was talking this guy I thought lets add the original rskingp and see what he has to say. So I add him, he comes online, I ask him about this guy and then he just goes offline. See the screenshots below for proof.

Here's the chatlog and see the screenshots below to proof it isn't rigged.

So ya, this whole thing has a stench to it and it raises quite a few questions. Who is this imposter? How can this person send a PM with rskingp's account? Is rskingp impersonating himself? Did rskingp get hacked? Is rskingp- really rskingp and was he telling the truth all along?

 

Banned him as a precaution.

I am not sure what is going on - whether his account is compromised or whether he is impersonating himself. But either way, he is temped in the mean time. I will try to get some additional moderator input on this from somebody who is well experienced in market matters, or see if I can find confirmation that "Rskingp-" is indeed his secondary Skype account.

 

It looks like it's just a common impersonation attempt. The imposter pretended to be you to rskingp, and pretended to be rskingp to you. He got rskingp to send you a pm by convincing rskingp that he (the imposter) was you. I don't see anything fishy on rskingp's part, he made sure to include his skype name in the pm, and it's also right there in his signature

 

Going to submit him for unbanning. Video pointed out that his account couldn't be compromised in any way either because he PM'd you his real Skype address. If he was hacked, the hacker would have PM'd you the fake one.

Thank you for the report though, and good work for trading smart
