Warning - scam

Someone tried to scam me yesterday, but I caught onto it.
Explanation - scammer adds you on one Skype account, wants to trade. Offers to get a middleman. Meanwhile, scammer adds you on a second Skype account, with a random name. He links you to a trusted middleman, and you add his correct Skype. Once he knows you added the real middleman, on his second Skype account he will change his Skype profile to look identical to the real middleman. And this is where you could get scammed if you aren't cautious. People might not notice it, because in their minds they know they never added an imposter. If you don't notice, asking for a pm will also counter this scam, just like every other scam. If you get added by the Skype d.cates.1990, do not trade, he will scam you.

 

Not gonna lie, I've had this happen way too many times. Watch out for the teamviewer scam too bud. Thx for the heads up
