"Pm me!"

[Viou]

Full support.

I had become fairly careless about my PMs and on a few occasions I've sent pms to people who were being impersonated by me on an alternate screen.

Thanks for bringing this to light.

I have always done this and i do think it should be a new measure to prevent scam

 

[RsProd]

Yeah, great idea. I always get in a habit of doing this, and it has saved numerous members a lot of money.

Support.

 

[davidh93]

support, its a really good suggestion

 

[Spraynwipe]

Exactly, this is the best way to get around the impostor scam going around at the moment. All users trading should ALWAYS include their msn along with their PM, and both parties will be safer. Full support.

One way I make this impossible as a MM is by requiring people to PM me first. This way, I'm PMing the right person.

I've had people try and scam me with this method as well, would be hard to implement though

Not really, we would just make an announcement, add it to the official rules and ensure that ALL trades with or without an OMM must send PM to verify their MSN address. And people who file a scam report and post a PM that doesn't show an MSN address from the scammer = auto deny.

Saying "I'm talking to you on MSN" is not enough proof, they must also include their MSN in the PM, ie. "Talking to you right now with [email protected]"

Not hard at all.

Should be a rule to all mm's.
ALL.

If you're performing a MM(If you're official or just a regular member) and you pm someone without sending your msn address. And the person gets scammed. YOU should be held responsible. Since it's the careless action that YOU did that got the other person SCAMMED.

My 3rd cents.
