[Discussion] A reminder that scammers watch and impersonate...

[Decadence]

Recently a scam happened where a well known broker "showed up" and vouched for a player in the middle of a transaction. The player was scammed. Please remember that scammers watch brokers and impersonate their characters, and what their characters look like. Please always check with them via ICQ and verify it is indeed them.

Wishes for Safe Trading!

Most of the brokers carry an item that is hard to obtain, or one of a kind. Know your broker by his or her totem, and as sated above... Always message the broker to verify!!!

That is correct Lord Lew, unfortunately though this impersonator was carrying something similar and it was another shard than the broker's main. Definitely verify on ICQ or PM

Funny How Scammers Spend So Much Time Learning About And Impersonating Well Known Brokers And Players, When If They Used That Time To Make Money The Honest Way They Would Gain Alot More Than Their Scam Gets Them.
