Title: How to stop Imposters
Post by: Pureblood on June 21, 2007, 11:04:45 PM
Always ask for a confirmation pm. If you don't get one DO NOT trade!!!!!



When doing ANY trade. With anybody!!!!

Even if the email looks normal ask for a conformation pm!!!

And if you don't get one dont trade!!!!


Thanks to I'm Rich
on ur Msn messenger window their are double arrould near the side click it and then click "Show Contacts' Details" wat it will do is show the contacts email under ther name,so if its an imposter u will see the right email before u make the trade. preventing u from being scammed

especially when its a person known for being trusted...its extremely likely for a famous MM to get impostered...

No need for hope... It will.... duh how will a copier get onto a truster persons ttg account or runecore account and pm him. Sure the copier will probably try to talk the poeple out of it but don't trade if you dont get one

Yep, one of the best ways to prevent getting scammed. every time i trade, even though i know 99% its the real person i still ask for a confirmation PM. It better safe than sorry.

UHHH ARE PEOPLLE STUPID AS [censored]?? HOW [censored]ING RETARTED ARE YOU...i spent 2 hours arguing with this loser who couldnt make a ttg account so i offered to make a post on my mm thread saying WHATEVER HE WANTED ME TO SAY and he said NO i want a pm. ITS THE SAME THING. they are just confirmations that the mm isnt a imposter/hacked....
