@handcuff is sniping/stealing everyones names

[zapx99]

I would like to report the user @handcuff for stealing multiple names from me and other sellers/buyers.

Proof #1
(NA) Summoner Name: Lame (Stolen from my customer whilst he was putting the name to his main)
Proof the customer bought Lame:

Proof the customer got it stolen from him during transfer:

Proof @handcuff is advertising it in his discord server:



Proof #2
(NA) Summoner Name: Ekko (Stolen whilst I was doing a name swap for a customer)
Proof customer contacted me for a swap(18 September 2022):

Proof of his details(18 September 2022):

Proof it got stolen from me(18 September 2022):

Proof @handcuff sold the name(18 **October** 2022):



Proof #3
Student (it got stolen from me whilst I was transferring the name to my other account, I don't have documented proof for this as I wasn't chatting someone else about it, besides a screenshot that I sent it to my friends group chat where they help me find a nice icon):
Proof I was trying to find a nice icon to add Student to my list:

Proof @handcuff has student in his list:



And finally himself testifying to me back in September that he steals names (This screenshot was taken in September before he deleted chat, so his discord name is different): https://i.imgur.com/a1k4p4L.png

Screenshot of his updated discord name and our chat, Chat is empty and seems like I'm talking alone because he deleted all of his messages: https://i.imgur.com/SrtqTaC.png


I can bring forward more proof from myself and from other victims if needed.

You're actually quite funny I'm not even gonna bother waste my time on this as you don't know how name claiming works.

How was I supposed to know you were transfering it?
I just happened to have it in my name list.

As the rule says
Name sniping is strictly prohibited and treated as scamming. Name sniping is defined as intercepting a trade between users (onsite or offsite)
I had no idea the account was being sold or transfered therefor I don't see how I've broken any rules.

(Copy Paste from Sebs thread)

 

It's fairly clear that @handcuff is not just using his bot to claim inactive names, and is actively intercepting names that are being traded/transferred as well.

I've given them a DNT and a 3 month ban, they will need to compensate @zapx99 for the names they have stolen should they wish to return to Sythe.
