    new scam in BST, after having a scammer banned yesterday i have noticed a new scam, this scam involves posts with peoples contact details in the posts.

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=4961455#post4961455

    disguised got a neg itrader for a trade he never made, but in that thread the OP put his contact YIM id in the 1st post and then he was contacted by who he thought was disguised via YIM and paid him.

    i looked up the profile on yahoo and the account disguisex was made on the 10/21/2007

    my guess is that the guy that was banned yesterday is on DP as a guest today and is still online i see on yahoo on that disguisex profile. maybe look at the ip# of the banned guy and see if he is online as a guest and ban the ip?
    this is the guy banned yesterday for scamming DP members with a clone account.
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=109474

    maybe he knows now that he does not need to clone an account to scam anyone, and having scammed a member with the clone yahoo id alone, and still online with that id from the yahoo profile. i think it's him again.

    I really appreciate this Sammi

    I just got another Negative itrader from the same guy and this really is pissing me off. I have a completely different YIM (I use it rarely) why would I create a YIM (disguisex) instead of (disguised)??

    To all who got scammed! Guys don't you have brains to ask the guy (claiming to be me) to prove that he actually is Disguised! Don't be dumb asses and pay anyone claiming to be someone.

    Why do you know account disguisex was made on the 10/21/2007. It is only updated: http://profiles.yahoo.com/disguisex
    Don't try to protect a scammer. This is not your mission.
    I am sure he (disguised) send me a PM to demonstrate that is him

    It is daft to do money trades. Apart from being against the Terms and Conditions... it is just too risky.

    i wouldn't say it was daft, you have to do it on the low low.
    disguise the reason for the transaction.

    but you have to be careful who you deal with. buyer beware!
    protect your contact details.

    interesting...

    That's why you don't even do business over YIM; everyone knows Yahoo! Instant Messenger is the most widely-used instant messenger client for scammers. :eek:

    And if you didn't know that, now you know.

    Why are people just dumb asses?
    WHy can't they PM the username who's claiming that one?

    And also, money trades are just become too risky now...
    Don't do ay tye of business over messengers. They're just a way to have your money stolen.

    A low low to become a theft theft?

    I have seen loads of people asking to borrow money, and loads of people to do trades. 90% of the transactions fail. If only Hecky was here... he got ripped off twice in less than day by people asking to borrow money. One of them (no names mentioned here) admitted scamming them when i had a chat to him on msn.

    I was a little confused by your first post Sammie but this explanation you gave in the other thread sums it up well:
