Reporting imposter (and Genie)

[MR MAN321]

Scammer's profile link:RussianUmad
Explanation of the trade: Put a forum post asking for a name pmed saying someone has it, added to discord Genie (seems kind of sketchy) asks for middle man for name trade, 'russian umad' with 717 vouches. Russian umad confirms identity with pm. meet him in lummy for trade, go through what i thought was normal procedure and he takes 1b from my bank
relevant screenies: Imgur
First and probably last time i ever use sythe unless i get some sort of refund

 

Discord is case sensitive man The one you were talking to was Russian umad. The real one is Russian Umad with a capital 'U'
In Russians Sythe pm to you, he write's his discord with a capital u. Sorry for your loss man :/

thanks for the reply, how was he able to pm me tho

 

The imposter has an alt discord similar to yours or completely different. He starts a conversation up with the real Russian and asks for a pm on sythe and links your profile. Russian will post his discord id + unique discord id and the person (scammer) he was speaking with. If you look at the pm you received from Russian, im sure the conversations dont line up, the discord id he wrote of yours isnt yours.

This is called a man in the middle scam.

Add me on discord Devil#0641 and i can better explain it, and show you how to avoid this in the future. Unique Discord Id's are your best friend on discord.
