Unbelievable New Scam ><

[jamzpkzsythe]

Scammers have done it again. Invented newer and more sophisticated ways to scamm. This one was pulled on me earlier today.

Scammer Adds Official MM into the conversation and has the MM Pm the buyer or seller or what ever.

Once the pm has been recieved the scammer laggs and boots the mm off msn and then freezes his or her msn until the trade is over.

Whilst the mms Msn is frozen the scammer will use the program miranda or any other imitating msn programs to imitate the mm's email exactly (A bit vague on what happens during this part, pieced it together as i was offline and unable to access my msn) .

Buyer blissfully unaware still thinks he or she is dealing with an official mm proceeds with the trade and then gets scammed.

The only way of combatting this that i can think of is, if your mm disconnects have him or her send you another pm on sythe to eliminate the possibility of fakes. Post your suggestions on how to eliminate this scamm, it could see all of our most trusted members banned.

o so creative..

and tilt sence when did u lose you mm rank?

About a month ago i asked to be de-ranked. Since then i have come back to sythe and steph has re-added me to the official mm list. She just forgot to rank me

[get_crunk_mofo]

this is an old scam. i got scammed by this once in april. lost around 20m to it

I beileve a system used on another site could reduce scams by at least half and there would be 0 chance of impersonators or this scam, just blocked out msn address's and emails and then users are forced to use the pm system.

 

[caddy daddy]

too much effort for som phree gold

 

[rsnerb]

if sythe had a chat system like fagex, or they installed a beter chat system where the talking in trades can be done directly on sythe there would be much less scamming.

 

[goldenboy]

Exactly my point, rsnerb. And i was refering to realpoor.com but that shows at least 2 sites are using this system.

Hmm, very old technique I see. Well, as someone mentioned before. Just ask for the MM's RSN before trading any GP over. If you have a suspicion that someone is trying this then have them re-PM you and come on don't trade untill they come on the RSN they stated in MSN.
