How to not get scammed by an impostor

Too often are people scammed by imposters of Middlemans and trusted users. So here is a guide for everyone to make sure they are trading with the real user, not a scamming imposter.

Step 1 - Contact

When adding someone's skype, especially if they have a large amount of trust, you'll likely see many different skypes. They all say they are the same person, but only ONE is. Here is a step by step way to check that you're adding the REAL one.

A: Right click their name, and go to "View Profile"


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .




B: Check their Skype ID. This can NOT be changed. If it doesn't match EXACTLY, it's an imposter.





C: Always ask for a PM
Note: To ask for a PM, simply link your profile and they will PM you with chat logs. You can find your profile by Clicking on your name on the top right of the browser, next to the logout option. Copy the URL and paste it into your skype chat.






D: Check your PM
Note: To check your PM, simply click the "Private Messages" in the top middle of your browser. This will give you access to your PMs. Make sure the chat log matches EXACTLY!





Step 2 - Ensuring a safe trade

A: Double check who is in the group chat
Note: To do this (pictures below) You'll need to click the side arrow that is right under the list of people in the group chat on top. This will bring down a drop down menu of everyone in the group chat. Right click the Middleman's name, go down to "View Profile" and make sure it's the same one.


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .




B: Double check you're trading the MM





C: Privately PM the MM to see it's him in the group chat
Note: Sometimes the MM is kicked out of the group chat, and replaced with a fake. Double check via private chat that it is him. You already made sure you added the right one, so if he says he is, you're good to go! If he doesn't, you're trading an imposter, and it's highly likely the other member you are trying to trade with is attempting to scam you.





D: Check the profile of the MM once again in the Skype chat
Note: Just repeat the process from step A and make sure it's still the same Skype ID. Sometimes the trader will kick out the real MM after you get your PM, and add in a fake MM. Double check right as you're trading the GP!



And there you have it! Do this EVERY time you want to trade with someone. This will prevent an impostor every time! If the other trader tries to pull an impostor scam, you'll know and you won't be scammed.

There's a part in there for that

You will need an carton of milk, not with any milk in it, just the carton, some salt, and a 2x4 piece of wood.

First, you must rub the carton vigorously on the fan. This creates friction. You will then need to pour dashes of salt around the perimeter of your dick. This is to prevent underwater sea bears from attacking while you are performing this ritual. You will then need you scream a viking war chant and command the ceiling fan to release your dick from its strangle hold.

Finally, hit yourself in the head with the 2x4 until you don't wake up

Have a good day

Useful stuff, will post it on my threads from now on =)

nice guide.

I love how you instruct people how to properly PM yet don't use the proper pm format.

Always include both skypenames, there is always a chance of a double imposter.

Useful. Thanks for sharing

Also look out for teamviewer scam <3
