    This dude, added me on MSN today and offered to buy my DP account for $50... here' the interesting convo:

    As you can see, I played along and tried to get his current DP and PayPal IDs. I think the IDs he mentioned don't exist though.

    Beware of this person and others like him.

    Cheers, my ethical brethren!

    :D

    Seems very odd why someone would want to do that.

    It's obvious. He sends you $50 by paypal... you hand over account details after which he changes your password and email, and uses your account to scam people. The $50 are frozen by paypal as stolen funds and you're left punished for your greed.

    Don't sell him your account. They will probably use it to scam someone.

    There are 3 things that I have that I won't sell.
    1) Adsense Account
    2)My Virginity
    3)My DP account :D

    Also I'm pretty sure he saw the movie Hitman :D

    Haha... thanks MG, although I suspect his DP ID is false.

    If you look below my post count, you'll see that my MSN ID is freely available.

    That is the first I have heard of that particular scam, i thought I had heard it all. I can see selling space on your signature and blog feed or avatar, but your whole account? Who does he think would do that?

    If you did sell him your account, youd be banned! Selling of DP accounts AND Duplicate accounts would be what the Mods would suspect.

    That is rather worrying. We all need to be a step ahead of everything.

    We need to play a big role in stopping scammers, just as big as the admins and mods on here.
