Rare usernaems! Be Careful! Verify in game!

THIS SHOULD BE STICKIED. I HAVE SEEN THIS SCAM GOING ON FOR TOO LONG.​

It has come to my attention that alot of the name sellers are complete fakes. They use a variety of different ways to "make" it look legit and real.

Here are just some things to look out for.

1.) Create a Account! URL Change.

Just 2 seconds ago I did this.



Looks real doesn't it? Well, it's not.
All they have done is changed the url. For example..



Can be turned into ..



JUST BY A CHANGE IN URL!
This can be used with many things, runescape inbox's, and others.

2.) Photoshop, the most common of scamming.

It may look real, it's not. Look: http://members.home.nl/maxthedragon/downloads.html


ALWAYS ASK FOR PROOF INGAME

Any scammer could edit a screenie easily, even if he's trusted. Even if somebody tells you he's legit, always ask for ingame proof. Now if you get scammed, and haven't read this, do so, and remember for future purposes.
