    Do you have a post/PM from him that proves his Skype is 'dailycodshots.' ?

    The Skype address on his profile is different.

    No I don't. I was stupid to fall for this. But read the skype chat log, and his skype name on his profile is Maloudz, that's who I was trading with.

    I will search around to see if I can find proof of that Skype name, but you may have traded with an impostor as the Skype name is way off.

    Do you have any PM's between you two, or anything else to prove you may have traded with the real Oboyle? He could also be impersonating himself, as the RSN is quite suspicious. But this can be hard to prove unfortunately..


    EDIT:

    I cannot ignore the fact that on his thread, he DID acknowledge trading with you in-game, which may have been a huge mistake if he was purposefully impersonating himself. How is it possible that you spoke with this "impostor", yet you somehow end up trading the real Oboyle ingame?

    I received this via PM, and it shows that this person added you on Skype a few minutes after you posted on Oboyle's thread:

    [​IMG]


    However, Oboyle made a big mistake in posting on his thread with proof that he traded with you, otherwise this could have been brushed off as an impostor incident.

    As soon as he figured out I was hot on his heels and he knew he was going to get banned, I strangely received this PM from him:

    [​IMG]


    It is very obvious what happened here, and I am going to lay it out just for the record:

    Oboyle added you on a secondary Skype address and traded with you
    He meant to make it look like an impostor, but he fucked up badly when he posted admitting he traded with you
    He then PM'd me, trying to make it look like he was hacked to save his own ass.


    There is another major problem with this "hacking" scenario though. I checked his IP and he has no strange addresses on there whatsoever, and the IP addresses on the specific posts where he acknowledges trading with you, match his registered IP address, providing that there was no hacker but that he staged this whole thing:


    I've now banned him. Thanks for the report.
